Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
LEAP is a modular 12-week pain self-management intervention with 6 individual sessions and 6 optional group sessions. Individual sessions serve the purpose of individualizing the program to the needs of the patients. Group sessions allow participants to practice skills, set goals with the group, seek social support, and learn together. The purpose of the LEAP program is to make pain better, help patients reach their personal goals (things that may be hard to do because of pain), and add to the care patients' medical team is providing.
Patients can continue to use other pain management strategies ("usual care") in order to mimic real-life conditions.
