Active substance
Whole Health Coaching (a behavioral intervention that helps patients set personal health goals and use self-management strategies for pain)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a better way to manage chronic pain in veterans, reducing pain interference and improving safe opioid use.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively early-stage study (no phase) with 432 participants, so results may not apply to all veterans. The coaching requires active participation, and benefits may vary.
