💨 Abstract

A study in New Mexico found that pain coping skills training (PCST) significantly reduced chronic pain and improved quality of life for people on haemodialysis for kidney failure. The training, delivered via phone or video, includes modules on pain-related anxiety, stress, and sleep difficulties, CBT, mindfulness, and pain education. This is particularly important for dialysis patients as traditional treatments like opioids have poor outcomes in this group.
