Help Test an Internet-Based Pain Management Program
☐ Are you an adult with chronic non-cancer pain lasting more than 3 months?
☐ Do you have a current prescription for an opioid medication (like Lortab, Norco, Oxycodone or Morphine)?
☐ Would you like to try an online program to learn more about how to manage the symptoms and stress of your painful condition?
If you answered YES to these questions and you live in the United States, you may be eligible to participate in a study to determine the effect of an 8–week program to improve pain symptoms.
Benefits to you include:
• A comprehensive pain and mood evaluation that can be shared with your health care provider
• Free access to the online Goalistics Chronic Pain Management Program.
The program has activities
and lessons designed to build skills that can help you manage your pain better. A year’s subscription will be provided and allow you to access the program tools and online support groups after the research study is over.
Participants will also be able to earn gift cards of up to $30 for completing online pain assessments.
This study is being conducted by Washington State University with funding from the Life Sciences Discovery Fund.

Sounds very interesting, but I do not do opioid pain meds.
Is it a requirement to be on Narcotics?
Yes, that is a requirement.
I sure missed the boat!
I’ve suffered with my chronic pain (a result of injuries from my ‘breech birth” delivery of my 2nd daughter, nearly 19 years ago now June 13.
I don’t even have a (one simple) diagnosis (for some reason) because there are so many things “broken”, so to speak, in my body that I do not fit under one particualar category I guess.
I have a wonderful Doctor, no doubt. He cannot stop ALL of the pain I suffer and honestly, if I had been a cow, dog or cat and that happened during delivery,..they put the animal out of it’s misery. I’m a human being…so, I’m left to LIVE in/with the PAIN. Oh, how I wish someone could really, really HELP ME to just be RID of the pain. 19 years , 24/7 is just too long. The pain is winning and beating me down to nothing these days as I’m getting older.
I wish I had seen this a long time ago!

Cindy: Please contact the researcher, Marian Wilson, directly at marian.wilson@wsu.edu.
I highly recommend this program for those of you that have chronic pain.
Marian Wilson is my close friend, and the research and program are a part of her dissertation and thesis material for her doctorate degree in Nursing. She will give you more information about the program if you contact her at marian.wilson@wsu.edu.
It is really a great thinking. I feel the need of such a program as I have felt pain at my abdomen few days back. It was really painful. Such program can help anyone to get rid of his/her pain.
I appreciate all of the interest in our study of the Goalistics program. If any of you would like more details on enrollment you may email me directly at marianpainstudy@yahoo.com
This sounds very interesting. How much of a time commitment are we talking about? Is daily participation required?
Please contact Marian Wilson, the researcher, for answers to your questions. You can email her at marianpainstudy@yahoo.com.
