Summary
This Phase 3 trial tests whether a nurse-led phone program can help rural veterans better manage chronic pain. Over 600 participants will receive either the program or a one-time education session, and researchers will track pain interference for 12 months. The goal is to improve daily functioning without requiring travel to a clinic.
