Integrative Psychosocial Group Treatment

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Chronic Pain, Opioid Misuse

In brief

A fundamental challenge for healthcare is to achieve a balance between decreasing the misuse of opioids and associated harms while optimizing patient care, including the provision of multidisciplinary treatments for chronic pain. However, despite recommendations that non-pharmacological interventions are rudimentary in the management of chronic pain, the literature describing which psychosocial interventions are best practice is nearly non-existent. Most of the psychosocial treatments that target either CNCP or opioid misuse are very general and broad-based therapies. However, there is a lack of evidence-informed direction guiding which psychosocial treatments should be adapted to this specialized population and thus, further research is needed.
