This study, called the PROmoting Pain Self-Management (PROs) Trial, is looking for better ways to help people in the Military Health System (MHS) manage chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain. Researchers are comparing two behavioral interventions, "Empowered Relief" (ER) and "Move to Health" (M2H), to the usual care you would receive from your primary care provider. ER is a single, two-hour virtual session that teaches skills, while M2H involves virtual sessions with a health coach over several weeks. The goal is to see which of these whole-person, non-drug approaches is most effective. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older, a TRICARE beneficiary, and have chronic MSK pain that has required at least two medical visits in the past year. The study will measure success by looking at your pain, function, and stress levels over about 14 weeks. The current status of the study is unclear.
