Human Outreach to Improve Adherence With Scheduled Pain Clinic Appointments

Completed

Conditions studied: Patient Compliance

In brief

Patients tend to miss their scheduled appointments in chronic pain clinics for unknown reasons. This study will test the hypothesis in a prospective pragmatic trial that a human telephone call in the primary language of the patient, promising a clinical encounter in this language improves attendance at scheduled appointments in an academic inner city pain clinic.
