Using WWW to Control Pain Researchers from the Department of Clinical Health Psychology at the Veterans Administration, Connecticut Healthcare System have been studying the use of new technology as an aid to medical and cognitive behavioral pain management practices. In a 2013 report, Effects of an Individually Tailored Web-Based Chronic Pain Management Program on Pain Severity, Psychological Health, and Functioning, researchers describe their success in using a specifically tailored web based program that asked participants to rate different pain symptoms and then offered specific behavioral suggestions and educational resources. More than 600 VA pain patients participated in the study and “Results suggest that the tailored online chronic pain management program showed promising effects on pain at 1 and 6 months post-treatment.” ow.ly/zkj2N
