Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research study is to look at the effect of programs aimed at helping people manage chronic pain and medication treatment. The program sessions focus on educational information and strategies for pain and medication management. The researchers enroll people who have chronic pain and have recently begun buprenorphine treatment to see if participants could benefit from these programs. This research study will help the researchers learn how to improve current therapies for pain and medication management.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Psychosocial Pain Management (PPMI)

Eight Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-based individual telephone or video therapy sessions with research study therapist.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Psychosocial Pain Management (PPMI)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The main theme of the treatment is to provide participants with new ways of thinking and coping skills related to managing pain and opioid use in order to increase the likelihood the participant may remain in buprenorphine treatment.

Enhanced Usual Care (EUC)

Two individual telephone educational sessions with research study therapist.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Enhanced Usual Care (EUC)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The EUC condition is designed to match the PPMI condition in terms of the non-specific aspects of receiving support for pain, substance use, and receiving monitoring of buprenorphine adherence.
