Moderators and Mediators (M & M Trial) of Psychosocial Treatments of Chronic Pain

CBT endorses a pain management model and teaches people skills to cope with chronic pain.

ACT is based on an acceptance model that seeks to decrease pain avoidance behaviors and enhance engagement in valued, adaptive activities that contribute to fewer pain-related restrictions in functioning.

EAET advocates a pain treatment model in which pain can be substantially reduced by helping people learn that their pain is brain-based and can be substantially reduced or eliminated by decreasing fear of pain and of various emotional/interpersonal problems.

Participants assigned to TAU will not receive any additional psychosocial treatment beyond the other treatments they were receiving before enrolling in this study.
