Summary
This study tested a resilience coaching program (PRISM) for 260 teens aged 12-17 with chronic musculoskeletal pain. The goal was to see if coaching improves daily function, reduces distress, and lessens pain compared to usual care. Participants completed surveys and coaching sessions, with results measured at 3 months.
