Brief Online Intervention for Chronic Pain

Chronic pain is highly prevalent and costly, but often not treated effectively.
Psychological interventions are needed as part of chronic pain treatment since the pain
affects many aspects of an individual's life. In particular, brief psychological
interventions that are easily accessible (i.e., online) could benefit many people with
chronic pain. Writing interventions have been used in recent years to understand difficult
experiences. Writing interventions have been found to help individuals explore distressing
thoughts and feelings, such as those that are associated with pain.
