New study aims to ease chronic pain without pills for military personnel
NCT ID NCT06940986
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing two holistic, non-drug programs to help military members manage chronic musculoskeletal pain. About 608 participants will be randomly assigned to either a single-session class called Empowered Relief, a multi-session program called Move to Health, or usual care. The goal is to see if these programs reduce pain intensity and improve daily functioning.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Empowered Relief and Move to Health (behavioral interventions)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide effective, non-drug options for managing chronic pain in military personnel, reducing reliance on medications.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so results may vary widely. It is still recruiting and outcomes are based on self-reported pain, which can be subjective.
