Abstract

Couple interventions for chronic pain have been shown to more effectively reduce pain intensity for individuals with chronic pain (ICPs) than individual behavioral interventions or usual care. This systematic review identifies randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of couple interventions to highlight strategies that could be incorporated into psychotherapy with ICPs and their romantic partners.
