However, it does discuss the safety and effectiveness of Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain (Brief CBT-CP), which is a related intervention. The studies indicate that Brief CBT-CP is a safe and effective nonpharmacological treatment for chronic pain, with high patient satisfaction and reported improvements in pain-related functioning.
