Pain in America: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Orthopaedic Related Pain (Musculoskeletal Pain)

In brief

Each day orthopaedic surgeons worldwide treat patients with musculoskeletal pain. But little evidence exists about orthopaedic patient understanding of the common methods of managing musculoskeletal pain. Therefore, it is our aim to determine which discussion method best improves patient comprehension of common methods of managing pain.
