New combo therapy aims to ease pain and prevent opioid relapse
NCT ID NCT05571917
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a treatment that combines two therapies (ACT and MBRP) to help people with both chronic pain and opioid use disorder. About 160 adults already on buprenorphine will be randomly assigned to either this combined therapy or their usual care. The goal is to see if the combined therapy reduces pain interference and helps prevent relapse.
