About this trial
The goal of this research study is to test the efficacy of a non-prescription medicine, web-based platform solution for patients with chronic pain, to improve pain self-management and related outcomes. The main question investigators aim to answer is; would the use of this web-based intervention plus an online group visit compared to control result in better pain-related outcomes and improved pain impact?
