This study is designed to develop and test the use of Interactive Voice Response (IVR) technology to deliver pain management treatment. IVR allows individuals to receive and provide information by using their touchtone telephone. This will allow more people with chronic pain to receive treatment even if they are not able to drive to an appointment regularly. In the first part of the study, the investigators will develop new materials like patient handbooks and pre-recorded explanations about common pain control techniques. In the second part of the study, a small number of persons with chronic pain will receive treatment using the new materials. We will ask for their feedback about how well they liked using the new materials and if the materials are understandable. This will allow us to revise the materials if we need to prior to studying them with a larger group of people with chronic pain.
The primary objective was to evaluate the safety of D-TRANS fentanyl with naltrexone HCl system compared to the Duragesic (fentanyl transdermal system) in opioid tolerant patients.
We believe information to be obtained from this proposed study will prove critical for planning future VA healthcare strategies and developing effective and efficient treatments targeting pain and emotional adjustment difficulties among individuals with polytrauma and returning Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) personnel. More specifically, this study will be the first to provide systematic data regarding pain and emotional problem prevalence, course, associated impairments, risk factors, and barriers to care and community reintegration among returning OEF and OIF service members with and without polytrauma.
The purpose of this study is to provide information in a broad, "real world" population of chronic pain patients assessing both pain control with AVINZA as well as the potential risk for misuse and abuse.
This study is designed to develop an effective psychotherapy for chronic pain and opioid dependence.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safest dose of d-methadone that can be given, without causing severe side effects in most patients with chronic pain. Patients are being asked to participate in the Phase I portion of this study.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of matrifen in patients with severe and chronic pain who can only be sufficiently treated with opioid analgesics (WHO class 3).
The study aims to evaluate the effects of adding supervised exercise in supplement to an educational self-management program, and to determine which subgroups would gain effects of the treatment.
