1 Emotion- and Relationship-Focused Therapeutic Interview for Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain: A Randomized Trial

The goal of the study is to determine whether a brief, therapeutic interview can help patients improve their pain and health by addressing psychological issues that are known to drive chronic musculoskeletal pain. This randomized, controlled trial tests the efficacy of a brief, one-session therapeutic interview for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain and histories of childhood adversity. Adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain will be randomized to either a therapeutic interview condition or a waitlist control condition. The therapeutic interview will be 90-minute session during which participants will be encouraged to disclose stressful experiences, express important emotions, and identify connections between their life stress and their pain, which we hope will increase their psychological attributions for pain and reduce their pain, interpersonal problems, and psychological distress. The study will compare the therapeutic interview condition to a delayed interview condition and will follow patients for 5 weeks to identify changes in response to the interview. Participants in the therapeutic interview condition are expected to show more improvement on pain severity, pain interference, psychological distress, interpersonal function, and psychological attitudes toward pain at follow-up, relative to participants in the delayed interview condition.
