Brief summary (from the registry)
Marginalized populations are at increased risk of chronic pain, trauma and use of street drugs to manage this suffering, with the associated risk of overdoses. Non-pharmacological options to manage chronic pain are difficult for this population to access. myoActivation® is an innovative structured assessment and therapeutic approach. This study will be conducted in the Vancouver Community Pain Service and will will examine the impact of this treatment on pain outcomes, function and quality of life.
