Tele-pain management: use of videoconferencing technology in the delivery of an integrated cognitive-behavioral and physical therapy group intervention.
Chronic pain has been recognized as a highly prevalent problem, and interdisciplinary treatments have been shown to be effective in the treatment of chronic pain. An integrated cognitive-behavioral and physical therapy group protocol has been developed and then implemented at remote sites using videoconferencing technology to provide pain management for veterans. The treatment model is summarized and recommendations are made for addressing challenges in implementing this type of treatment via videoconferencing.
