Summary

The investigators will implement an international 2-arm online pragmatic feasibility randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a digital pain relief skills intervention "Empowered Relief: On-Demand" to reduce pain metrics, opioid craving, and opioid misuse. They will compare Empowered Relief to a no-skills digital health education ("Living Better") intervention in community-based individuals with comorbid chronic pain and prescription opioid misuse (N=220). Completion of the brief post-treatment survey is a binary measure of treatment engagement; treatment feasibility and appraisal are assessed with three items (satisfaction, perceived utility, and likelihood to use skills learned). Electronic surveys will measure opioid misuse behaviors, craving, and use; and pain intensity and psychological status at: baseline, immediately post-treatment; at post-treatment weeks 1 and 2; and months 1, 2, and 3.
