Impact of Coaching Patients on Pain Control With and Without Financial Incentivization

Stopped: Too difficult to see patients in required time intervals.

0Started 2022-05

Plain-language summary

Opioids are commonly prescribed pain medications, but they can lead to addiction. The study team is trying to determine if providing someone with an incentive (money in the form of a Visa gift card) to use less pain medications will result in study participants actually using fewer pain tablets than allowed by their health care provider. The study team also wants to know if providing the incentive (the Visa gift card alone) works the same as the incentive (the Visa gift card) plus providing additional information about addiction and alternative pain management.
