A recent report from Bond University in Varsity Lakes, Australia, discusses the feasibility of an Early Subacute Pain Intervention Program for patients with subacute pain and exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). The program involved individual case management, group-based education, psychological support sessions, and access to allied health services. The study found that participants experienced reduced pain severity and interference, decreased risk of future disability, improved psychological distress, and fewer unhealthy days after completing the program.
