Pain coping skills training for patients receiving hemodialysis

About The Study: In this randomized clinical trial of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis, pain coping skills training had benefits on pain interference and other pain-associated outcomes. While the effect on the overall cohort was of modest magnitude, the intervention resulted in a clinically meaningful improvement in pain interference for a substantial proportion of participants.
