Mind over pain: can talk therapy ease recovery after a broken bone?

NCT ID NCT04274530

Summary

This study tested whether a type of talk therapy called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) could help reduce long-term pain after surgery for a broken arm or leg. Over 1,000 adults who had surgery for a fracture received either CBT or standard care. The goal was to see if changing unhelpful thoughts and beliefs about pain and recovery could lead to less pain and a better quality of life one year after the injury.
