The Importance of Perceived Relevance: A Qualitative Evaluation of Patient's Perceptions of Value and Impact Following a Low-Intensity Group-Based Pain Management Program.

Limited evidence exists exploring perceptions of which aspects of a pain management program are perceived as valuable and impactful.
