Summary
This study compares two telemedicine approaches for people with chronic pain and opioid misuse. One program provides standard medication management via remote visits, while the other adds a 12-week self-help program with phone-based coaching. The goal is to see which approach better reduces pain interference and opioid misuse. About 259 participants are enrolled, and the study is actively running but no longer recruiting.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
behavioral intervention (telemedicine and self-management program)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective, remotely-delivered treatment option for people with chronic pain and opioid misuse, reducing pain interference and opioid-related harm.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention study, not a drug trial, so results may vary widely. The study is relatively small (259 participants) and relies on self-reported outcomes, which may not generalize to all populations.
