Testing a Brain Device for People Using Opioids for Chronic Pain
(IRB#: IRB_00179276)
People with chronic pain are often prescribed long-term opioid medication. This study will test how a device activates the brain and impacts health symptoms. This study wants to develop better ways to help people with chronic pain. People in the study will complete surveys, medical exams, and interviews. Being in the study requires attending about 7 in-person visits at the study clinic. Each visit varies in time ranging from about 1 to 3.5 hours. Participants will receive $350 for full study completion or $15 per hour for incompletion of all study visits.
