Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

ACT+MBRPEducation control

ACT+MBRP: Intervention is behavioral treatment group that combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention. The group focuses on living with long-term pain, ways to complete daily living activities when you experience pain, coping with opioid and other drug cravings, and training in mindfulness practices.

Education control: Education control is behavioral treatment group that combines pain patient education with opioid and other drug education. The group focuses on experiences of long-term pain, instructions on how to function with this pain, and facts about opioids and other drugs.

Study summary

This trial will recruit veterans with chronic pain (N = 160) who are prescribed buprenorphine for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). We seek to: (1) examine the efficacy of an integrated treatment to reduce pain interference (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention \[ACT + MBRP\]) compared to an education control (EC) consisting of a protocol-based series of education sessions concerning chronic pain, opioids, and buprenorphine use and (2) examine how theoretically-relevant treatment mechanisms of pain acceptance, engagement in values-based action, and opioid craving are related to treatment outcomes. Interventions will be delivered via the VA Video Connect telehealth modality.
