This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested a 12-week virtual program called RAMP that teaches mind-body skills to help rural veterans manage chronic pain. Forty veterans participated in weekly group sessions and coaching via video. The goal was to see if the program is feasible and acceptable, not yet to prove it works.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
RAMP program (behavioral intervention: mind-body skills training, group sessions, and coaching)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a practical, non-drug option for managing chronic pain in rural veterans who have limited access to care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-arm pilot study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program requires reliable internet and video access, which may be a barrier for some.
