Study Details

To determine whether an Internet-based pain coping skills program plus enhanced usual care, compared to enhanced usual care alone, yields significant improvements in the co-primary outcomes of pain severity (as measured by the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI)) and pain interference (also measured by the BPI) from baseline to the post-intervention assessment for cancer survivors with persistent pain.

Arms

• Experimental: Internet-based program + Pain Education
  If you are in this group, in additional to your usual care, you will be provided access to the 8-session Internet-based pain program plus pain education. You will need to complete your sessions within 10 weeks of being provided your log-in code. You will be allowed to revisit sessions that you have completed during this 10 weeks. After completion of the study, you will still be provided access to the 8-session Internet-based pain program.
• No Intervention: Pain Education Only
  If you are in this group, in addition to your usual care, you will be provided pain education at your initial clinic visit. After you have completed the 6-month follow up assessment, you will be provided a secure log-in code and invited to complete the 8 sessions of this Internet-based pain program on your own.
