Exposure-based Interventions for Chronic Pain and Bodily Symptoms: A Special Interest Meeting Report
Overview
This report summarizes discussions from an international meeting regarding the theoretical foundations and expanded applications of exposure-based interventions for chronic pain and various bodily symptoms. It outlines how these treatments have been adapted across different clinical settings, provider types, and delivery formats beyond their initial use for pain-related fear. The authors utilize the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research to identify evidence gaps and propose a strategic roadmap for future research on optimal implementation and patient matching.
