A Magical Cure for Pain?

As a pain psychologist, I'm usually the LAST stop on the pain train.
Between the stigma ("Are you saying I'm crazy? That it's all in my head?"), biomedical bent toward pain management, and general lack of pain education, it's amazing that patients ever get to me at all. Psychosocial approaches to pain management often fall through the cracks - doing our patients a terrible disservice.
Of all the treatments I've tried, both personally and professionally, CBT emerges as my favorite. It's a bit of a catchall: since there's no standard, operationalized definition of CBT for pain, providers can (and do) add to it whatever they want. In my practice, I incorporate biofeedback, mindfulness, pacing, pain education, ACT, sleep hygiene, and a wide variety of effective strategies I've collected over the years.
What never fails to amaze to me, even after years of doing this, is that my patients get better. Children who have been homebound for *years* - subjected to endless pills and procedures - get out of bed and back to life. It's the most thrilling and addictive work I've ever done.
There's a lot of debate around CBT for pain, despite the fact that the literature overwhelmingly shows its utility. Meta-analyses report small-to-medium effect sizes on average, which is good - though not ideal. As a researcher, what I notice is that healthcare providers often fail to research the research. Does a small effect size mean that CBT is only minimally effective? Or shoule we look more closely as the research? Perhaps most importantly: how can *anyone* claim to be testing "CBT" in the absence of an operational definition of that treatment...?
For those of you who are nerds (HI!! LET'S BE FRIENDS!!) I wrote an article for Psychology Today exploring CBT for pain. If you've got some time this weekend, give it a read.
Hope you are all safe and well, and grateful to have this community during hist time of weirdness and insanity. Happy turkey, colleagues!
(P.S. TL/DR: there is no magical cure for pain. Sigh.)
