Comparing a Targeted Pain Coping Skills Training Intervention to Two Educational Interventions for the Management of Persistent Pain in Stage 0-III Breast Cancer Patients who Underwent a Mastectomy

This clinical trial compares a targeted pain coping skills training (Targeted-PCST) intervention to a general health intervention and an educational materials intervention for the management of persistent pain in patients who underwent a mastectomy for stage 0-III breast cancer. Persistent pain can have a negative impact on emotional and physical functioning, but it has no satisfactory pharmacological treatment options. The Targeted-PCST intervention targets women with persistent pain and trains them on pain coping skills to reduce pain and distress. This clinical trial compares the Targeted-PCST intervention to two educational interventions for the management of persistent pain in women who underwent a mastectomy for breast cancer.
