Comparative Effectiveness of Pain Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Chronic Pain Self-Management Within the Context of Opioid Reduction

The proposed study will fill several critical gaps in evidence that are preventing patients
and physicians from making informed decisions about their pain care. This project will
provide patients taking opioids and physicians with the specific evidence they need to choose
the most effective route to pain control, reduced pain interference, opioid reduction, and
improved role function, thereby improving patient care.

The aims of this study are to (1) reduce or contain prescription opioid use while maintaining
pain control and (2) compare the effectiveness of the Chronic Pain Self-Management Program
(CPSMP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for chronic pain (pain-CBT), and no behavioral
treatment within the context of patient-centered collaborative opioid tapering (Taper Only).
