Our recent study, led by @BethDarnall, discovered that a single, two-hour session of Empowered Relief, a program focusing on pain relief skills, is as effective as multiple sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for managing chronic low back pain six months after treatment. (bit.ly/3SEcQnV; @PainReportsOPEN free access) Our findings advance how we approach pain management. Empowered Relief offers an accessible and time-efficient option for those suffering. By demonstrating that shorter interventions can have long-lasting benefits, we hope to make effective pain relief strategies more widely available, potentially changing the lives of millions who deal with chronic pain every day. #ChronicPain @StanfordPain
