Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn which treatment works better for adults with chronic pain. This study is comparing three treatments: Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and usual care (whatever a person is already doing to cope with their pain).

The study's main questions are:

* Does PRT work well for adults with chronic pain?
* Which treatment works better for lowering pain: PRT, CBT, or usual care?

This study will compare PRT, CBT, and usual care to see which is most helpful for lowering pain and helping with other problems that people with chronic pain can have.
