Adding cognitive behavioral therapy to usual pain care
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study is testing whether adding a program called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to the usual care from a transitional pain service helps reduce hospital readmissions, opioid use, and chronic pain. CBT is a type of talk therapy that helps you change how you think about and cope with pain.
