Summary

This study tests whether a single-session behavioral class called Empowered Relief can help people manage pain and improve function after lumbar spine surgery. One hundred adults having back surgery will take part. They will attend either the Empowered Relief class or a standard education session, both delivered remotely. Researchers will track pain, disability, and physical function for six months after surgery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Empowered Relief (a single-session group class teaching pain neuroscience education and coping skills)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give people a simple, low-cost way to reduce pain and disability after back surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 100 participants. The intervention is a single session, which may not be enough for lasting benefits. Results may not apply to everyone.
