In this Friday’s Rethinking Clinical Trials Grand Rounds, Sebastian Tong and Kushang Patel will present “Adapting and Implementing a Nurse Care Management Model to Care for Rural Patients With Chronic Pain: Results and Lessons Learned From the Feasibility Phase.”
The Grand Rounds session will be held on Friday, May 1, 2026, at 1:00 pm eastern.
AIM-CP, an NIH Collaboratory 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 research team partnered with 6 healthcare systems from practice-based research networks in the northwestern United States and rural North Carolina.
Tong and Patel are co-principal investigators for AIM-CP. Tong is an associate professor of family medicine at the University of Washington. Patel is a research professor in the department of anesthesiology and pain medicine.
