Co-Design for Developing and Integrating a Model of Care for Pain Management Centers: Protocol for a Biphase Qualitative Study.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCurrent gold standard chronic pain management applies a biopsychosocial lens to clinical care, integrating medication, psychosocial support, and physical reconditioning to promote sustained treatment success, increase quality of life, and control symptoms. However, only 40% of patients with chronic pain report adequate pain management. Unfortunately, evidence describing implemented treatment pathways or models of care (MoCs) that consistently use this holistic approach is lacking.
objectiveThe aim of this study is to identify the barriers and facilitators to access and engagement in existing MoCs for chronic pain, explore aspects of the delivery of care that can be improved, and develop an improved MoC for pain clinics in New South Wales by directly liaising with people with chronic pain and their families.
methodsA 2-phase qualitative study will be conducted using semistructured focus groups. Both phases will follow the same structure, so patients, carers, and clinicians will independently provide input into the proposed MoC, which will then be summarized and integrated by the research team. Participants will be encouraged to interact and speak freely across three core domains: (1) experience of chronic pain management, (2) barriers and facilitators to delivering/accessing a gold standard MoC, and (3) key improvement points to existing models. Each focus group will last 90 minutes and be audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim for qualitative analysis. The focus groups in phase one will generate initial recommendations for primary changes to the existing MoC, and these will then be integrated and presented for evaluation, feasibility, and acceptability by stakeholder groups during phase two.
resultsData collection commenced in September 2023 and is expected to end by September 2025. As of February 2024, we have completed the focus group with clinicians (n=12) and patients (n=7) in phase one. Data have not been analyzed formally and will be reported in a future publication.
conclusionsThrough the exploration of key stakeholders' perspectives of the barriers preventing access and the delivery of care in the current MoC for chronic pain, we aim to co-design an appropriate, feasible, and acceptable pathway to be implemented in pain services in the future.
