AB - Various countries have published national guidance supporting the integration of behavioral approaches into chronic pain treatment. Yet multiple barriers prevent broad patient access. Brief treatment formats may address universal shortcomings of therapists and resources and offer patients expanded access to care through lower costs and treatment burdens. This article summarizes published evidence for eight identified therapist delivered brief behavioral pain interventions (operationalized as 1-4 treatment sessions or ≤8 h total treatment time) for adults with chronic pain (≥18 years of age) including a description of the treatment approach, implementation features, evidence to date, and salient points. The discussion includes current clinical dissemination and future directions that leverage technology to enhance patient access to behavioral pain care.
