Partners4Pain & Wellbeing: Self-management for Back Pain

This study is looking at two community-based programs, Partners4Pain and Keys to Wellbeing, for people with ongoing (chronic) back or neck pain. Partners4Pain teaches skills like mindfulness and cognitive behavioral approaches to help manage pain. Keys to Wellbeing focuses on general health and wellness. Researchers want to see which program is better at reducing your pain and how much it interferes with your daily life and enjoyment. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have had chronic back or neck pain for at least three months, and your pain is rated 3 or higher on a scale of 0-10. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status and plans to enroll 376 people.
