Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is a system of techniques that retrains the brain to interpret and respond to signals from the body properly, subsequently breaking the cycle of chronic pain such as back pain, fibromyalgia, chronic migraines, IBS. This does not include pain from cancer, auto-immune disease, or nerve injury.

​

A randomized controlled trial at the University of Colorado Boulder validated Pain Reprocessing Therapy as the most effective current treatment for chronic pain. In the study, there were 150 chronic back pain patients. 50 patients received PRT twice a week for four weeks, 50 patients received treatment as usual, and 50 patients received an open-label placebo injection. In the PRT group, 98% of

patients improved and 66% of patients were pain-free or nearly pain-free at the end of treatment. These outcomes were largely maintained one year later. Read the study in JAMA Psychiatry here.
