The study design paper for AIM-CP has been published online in PLoS One. Congratulations to the study team on reaching this important milestone for all NIH Collaboratory Trials!
The AIM-CP trial is testing the implementation of a nurse care management program, consisting of care coordination, cognitive behavioral therapy, and referral to a remotely delivered exercise program, to address disparate access to nonpharmacological treatments for chronic pain in rural populations. The study team recently reported the results of a pilot study showing that their integrated nurse care management approach is feasible and effective.
The study is being led by Sebastian Tong and Kushang Patel of the University of Washington and is supported through the NIH HEAL Initiative by a grant from the National Institute of Nursing Research.
