BraveNet Multi-Center Study on Integrative Medicine Treatment Approaches for Pain

Completed

Conditions studied: Chronic Pain

In brief

Preliminary results from an ongoing cross-sectional survey of nine of the BraveNet Outpatient Clinics indicate that pain was the leading reason for patient visits. As a precursor to a large multi-site clinical trial, this study aims to determine the feasibility of collecting outcomes data on integrative treatment for pain. These preliminary data will also provide an estimation of effect size for powering the multi-site clinical trial.
