First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether group-based pain management can help low-income adults with chronic pain feel better and more supported. About 360 people from safety-net clinics will join group sessions that address pain, stigma, and social isolation. The goal is to reduce pain's impact on daily life and improve social support.
