Summary

This study tested a resilience coaching program (PRISM) for 260 teens aged 12-17 with chronic musculoskeletal pain. The goal was to see if coaching improves daily function, reduces distress, and lessens pain compared to usual care. Participants completed surveys and coaching sessions, with results measured at 3 months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Resilience coaching program (PRISM)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, non-drug way to help teens with chronic pain feel better and function more normally.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply to all teens. The coaching may not work better than usual care, and benefits might be modest.
