Neurocognitive predictors of adherence to an online pain self-management program adjunct to long-term opioid therapy.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

A secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial testing the impact of E-health (a 4-month subscription to the online Goalistics Chronic Pain Management Program) plus treatment as usual, relative to treatment as usual alone, on pain and opioid dose outcomes in adults receiving long-term opioid therapy of morphine equivalence dose ≥20 mg; 165 E-health participan
