What is the Persistent Pain Program?The Persistent Pain Program at EPA is an evidence-based treatment program aimed at preventing and reducing disability associated with chronic pain.
There are two components:

Validated screening tools are used to identify patients who have psychosocial risk factors associated with chronic pain.
Identifying psychosocial risk factors:
- Excessive focus on pain
- Fear of participating in activities that might increase pain
- Sense of unfairness about pain
- Inappropriate thoughts and beliefs about pain and disability
