A PCORI-funded study led by Beth Darnall, PhD, of Stanford University School of Medicine, focuses on patients who wish to reduce their use of prescription opioids. In an opinion piece in The Hill, Darnall writes that addressing pain "has become deeply intertwined with the opioid crisis" so pain treatment programs need to be evidence based and patient centered. In addition, hear about several other studies that aim to help patients and those who care for them make better-informed decisions about their options for managing chronic pain.
