University of Utah Chronic Pain Care Study

About the Study:

We are currently inviting people who suffer from chronic pain and want to learn how to cope with pain and stress to participate in this study.

This study is being conducted to understand the effectiveness of group behavioral treatment for persons with chronic pain conditions who are being treated with prescription opioid painkillers (e.g., Vicodin, Oxycontin, Hydrocodone, Lortab, Tramadol, etc.). Study treatments involve learning psychological coping skills, receiving group support, and receiving state-of-the-art neurofeedback, participating in physical activity to improve coping with pain, stress, and medication-related cravings and problems.

You do NOT need to stop or reduce your pain medication to be in this study, though your medication use may change while you are in the study. Those decisions remain between you and your doctor and will not affect your study participation. You will NOT be required to take a new medication as part of this study since this study is testing behavioral group treatments.
