Therapist Edition of the Patient Education Workbook

By Beverly Thorn, Benjamin Van Dyke, Andrea Newman, Calia Torres, Joshua Eyer, Phoebe Block, Colette DeMonte and William DeMonte

Overview

This is the therapist version of the literacy-Adapted Pain Education Workbook, used in the Learning About My Pain (LAMP) trial. The pain education workbook provides relevant information about chronic pain and pain self-management, without providing skills training. In that sense, pain education is simpler to administer than a cognitive-behavioral treatment program. Although this pain education program has been found to be slightly less effective than cognitive-behavioral treatment, it was found to be more effective than using medical treatment by itself.

Description

This is the therapist version of the literacy-Adapted Pain Education Workbook, used in the Learning About My Pain (LAMP) trial. The LAMP trial was part of a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute Comparative Research Award, and the workbooks were used in the trial.
