This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Telecare collaborative management of chronic pain in primary care: a randomized clinical trial
JAMA. 2014 Jul 16;312(3):240-8250 patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain were randomized to evaluate the efficacy of Telecare collaborative management, as compared to usual care, with respect to relief from pain. Patients were monitored over 12 months and were evaluated primarily based on Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) score. The evidence presented in this trial indicated that Overall BPI was significantly decreased in the Telecare Group indicating reduced pain. The Telecare Group was twice as likely to report at least a 30% improvement in their pain score, and was also more likely to report global pain improvement. Opioid usage was comparable between patients of the Telecare and Usual Groups, however, Telecare patients received a greater number of analgesics for more months, and at a higher mean dose.
