Studies have reported that the problem of chronic pain is not optimally controlled. A structured nurse-led programme has been tested to facilitate healthy behaviours to help patients manage their chronic pain and to provide them with the necessary tools for their self-care. This nurse-led intervention improved their mental health and decreased their level of pain.
