The American Psychologist recently featured a study that provided information on “(a) the evidence base for cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as applied to chronic pain, (b) recent innovations in target populations and delivery methods that expand the application of CBT to underserved populations, (c) current limitations and knowledge gaps, and (d) promising directions for improving CBT efficacy and access for people living with chronic pain.” The authors found “evidence for efficacy in improving pain and pain-related problems across a wide spectrum of chronic pain syndromes in older adults.”
