First seen May 30, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tested a telehealth program (CBT-TS) to help 300 veterans with chronic pain who were taking prescription opioids. The goal was to see if the program could encourage them to start and stick with non-drug pain treatments like physical therapy or counseling. The approach focused on changing beliefs that might keep them from trying these other options.
