Back Pain? Neck Pain? Both?
Studies are a way for people to work together with researchers to figure out new ways to help manage pain.
Our team is doing a research study to learn more about people's pain. We would also like to see what they think of two educational programs to help manage pain. Programs include nine 90 minute sessions over nine weeks, either in person or by Zoom.
Keys for Wellbeing will teach you about different things you can do to improve your health and wellbeing. You will watch educational videos and do workbook activities. You will be introduced to different health-related topics.
Partners4Pain will teach you about different things you can do to manage your pain. You will watch educational videos and do workbook activities. You will learn and practice different exercises and strategies for your pain.

- 18 years of age or older
