The Pain Intervention via Video Optimization Trial

This project tests a short, evidence-based video to help educate patients about effective and safe pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies for acute musculoskeletal pain (MSP). Subjects will be randomly placed into one of two study groups: intervention (educational video) and usual care. Patients will be contacted at baseline and at 1 and 3 months after the date of their acute visit encounter for follow-up. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the success of the video intervention for improving pain recovery and preventing long-term opioid use among adults with musculoskeletal pain.
