Summary: This study investigated the effects of yoga and education on patients with chronic low back pain and found that yoga was not more effective than education in improving pain and disability outcomes. However, participants in the yoga group reported greater improvements and higher satisfaction with treatment.

Summary: This study suggests that app-based mobile multidimensional treatments improve catastrophizing, quality of life, and psychological flexibility in adults with chronic pain. These effects are seen immediately after treatment and are maintained for at least 3 months following treatment. These treatments can be used to complement face-to-face pain treatments.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of interdisciplinary pain management on pain-related disability and opioid reduction in polymorbid pain patients. The results showed that the interdisciplinary pain management group reported significantly greater decreases in pain-related disability at posttreatment, 6-month, and 12-month follow-up. However, there was no difference between the groups in the proportion of participants who resumed opioid use.

Summary: This study explores perceptions of facilitators or barriers to participation in a non-pharmacological intervention for chronic low back pain. The findings suggest the importance of psychological education, behavior change techniques, and systematic approaches to address misconceptions and maintain improvements after formal care.

Summary: This study compares the clinical outcomes of digital physical therapy and conventional in-person physical therapy for patients with chronic shoulder pain (CSP). The findings show that fully remote digital programs can be a viable care delivery model for CSP, with scalability and effectiveness assessed through comparison with high-dosage in-person rehabilitation.

Summary: This study aims to compare the efficacy of remote-delivered health coaching and remote-delivered supportive psychotherapy in veterans with pain-predominant multisymptom illness. Health coaching can be tailored to individual goals and emphasizes long-term behavior change, which may indirectly impact the maintaining factors of pain-CMI. This study will contribute to the existing literature on pain-CMI by reporting the effectiveness of a novel, remote-delivered behavioral intervention.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of a digital self-management intervention called EPIO for people living with chronic pain. The results showed significant reductions in symptoms of depression and self-regulatory fatigue, but no significant improvement in pain interference. Participants found EPIO to be useful, easy to use, and containing easily understandable exercises.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate if a financial incentive combined with a regret lottery component could increase physical activity levels among veterans with chronic pain. However, the findings suggest that regret lottery-based approaches may be ineffective at increasing physical activity levels in this population.

Summary: The randomized controlled trial examined a stepped exercise program (STEP-KOA) for knee osteoarthritis patients, showing that participants in the STEP-KOA group reported modest improvements in knee osteoarthritis symptoms at the 9-month follow-up, indicating greater improvement compared to the control group (AE). The study suggests that the STEP-KOA strategy may be efficient for delivering exercise therapies for knee osteoarthritis.

Summary: Despite the lack of research on patient-centered interventions in the hand surgery literature, this randomized controlled trial established a standardized patient education program for postoperative pain management after hand surgery. The program led to a significant reduction in postoperative opioid use, with the standardized education group showing lower opioid consumption compared to the control group. Factors such as higher prescribed pill numbers and psychiatric illness history were associated with increased opioid use, emphasizing the importance of perioperative patient education and prescription limitations in reducing opioid use following ambulatory hand surgery.

Summary: In patients with uncomplicated chronic low back pain, the use of a back brace in addition to education and exercise instruction did not provide any pain relief compared to education and exercise instruction alone. Due to unlikely significant changes in results, the study was halted.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the relationship between patient activation and social support in chronic pain management. The results showed that social support was significantly associated with all outcomes, while patient activation had the highest explanatory power for outcomes. However, patient activation was not found to be a mediator of the effect of social support on pain-related outcomes.
