NCT06855732 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this study is to learn if Pain Self-Management (PSM) can improve chronic pain care in individuals with opioid misuse or opioid use disorder (OUD) The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does PSM help participants manage their chronic pain more effectively? * Does PSM help participants engage in treatment for opioid use? Researchers will compare PSM to standard care to see if PSM is effective in managing chronic pain and engagement in treatment. Participants will: * Take part in the PSM program or receive standard care for 12 weeks after enrolling in the study * Complete surveys every 3 months for 9 months (total of 4 visits) Participants will receive compensation for participating in the study. There are risks associated with participating in the study, including breach of confidentiality and psychological distress caused by discussing difficult topics.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06855732
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06855732 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 204 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Pittsburgh, which has 1,082 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Chronic Pain appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Usual Care is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06855732 reports 16 study locations spanning 2 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Pennsylvania, West Virginia. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
