Empowered Relief Train Your Brain Away From Pain

"Empowered Relief" certification workshop: August 26-27 2019

Where: Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA

Who may attend: All healthcare professionals may register

Why: Become certified to deliver an evidence-based single-session pain relief class that reduces pain catastrophizing and has broader benefits.

Developed by Beth Darnall, PhD, "Empowered Relief" (TM) has been embedded into clinical care pathways at Stanford University since 2013. Early positive scientific results (Darnall et al, J Pain Res 2014) led to major NIH funding to study further the benefits and mechanisms of the single-session pain relief class. The class is manualized, research-grade, and ready for immediate implementation into your clinic or research study.

2019 “Empowered Relief” updates:

· McGill University received a grant to embed “Empowered Relief” into primary care clinics in Canada (PI Regina Visca, PhD). In collaboration with McGill, “Empowered Relief” is being translated into French and it will go live in Canada at the end of 2019. The model of ‘scalable, low-cost, accessible, brief pain interventions delivered early in the care process’ is needed and is spreading internationally.

· Maisa Ziadni, PhD, received an NIH NIDA K23 career development award in 2019 to test “Empowered Relief” as a pain relief and opioid sparing strategy, as well as to prevent of opioid misuse in chronic pain.

· Our NIH-funded 3-arm RCT of “Empowered Relief” in chronic low back pain will complete enrollment in December 2019.

· The U.S. Department of Health and Humans Services Interagency Task Force on Best Practices in Pain Management just issued their 2019 report on what’s needed in American pain care and they cited “Empowered Relief” as an important scalable behavioral pain treatment strategy.
