Trial ID: NCT03950791

Purpose

Prescription opioids are one of the most commonly used treatments for chronic pain, despite limited evidence of their efficacy and high morbidity and mortality risks. The study aims to determine the efficacy of a targeted single-session psychology class in reducing opioid use among patients with chronic pain. The information gained from this study has the potential to identify patients who achieve a meaningful reduction in opioid use and inform opioid reduction strategies.
