Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to manage pain and opioid use after major surgery: Preliminary outcomes from the Toronto General Hospital Transitional Pain Service
Overview
This study reports preliminary outcomes from a clinical practice-based program at Toronto General Hospital, where patients at risk for chronic postsurgical pain received acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). The research compares 91 patients who received ACT with 252 who did not, analyzing changes in pain, opioid use, anxiety, and depression between initial and final visits. Results indicate that while both groups saw reductions in several metrics, the ACT group demonstrated greater decreases in opioid use and pain interference, along with improved depressed mood.
