Internet-Delivered Psychological Pain Management: A Prospective Cohort Study Examining Routine Care Delivery by a Specialist Regional Multidisciplinary Pain Service.

Several clinical trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of internet-delivered psychological-based pain management programs (PMPs). However, to date, no large studies have reported the outcomes of PMPs when delivered by specialist multidisciplinary pain services in routine care. The present study reports (n = 653) the outcomes of an internet-delivered PMP provided as routine care by a specialist Australian regional pain service over a 6-year period.
