Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine if a stepped-care intervention makes pain symptoms better and reduces activity limitations because of pain Our two primary hypotheses are that in OIFOEF veterans with chronic pain

1 Stepped care is more effective than usual care in reducing pain-related disability
2 Stepped care is more effective than usual care in reducing psychological distress
Detailed Description: Through the Evaluation of Stepped Care for Chronic Pain ESCAPE trial we aim to develop and test a stepped-care intervention to improve functional and work-related outcomes in Operation Iraqi FreedomOperation Enduring Freedom veterans with chronic musculoskeletal pain Stepped-care involves starting with lower intensity less costly treatments initially Step 1 and stepping up to more intensive costly or complex treatments in patients with inadequate response Step 2 The study design will be a randomized controlled trial The stepped care approach will involve 12 weeks of a pain self-management program in Step 1 followed by 12 weeks of brief cognitive behavioral therapy in participants with inadequate improvement in pain-related disability Step 2 Patients treated in usual care will be the control group Thus the primary objective of the ESCAPE trial is to conduct a randomized controlled trial to compare the effectiveness of a stepped care intervention vs usual care in OIFOEF veterans with chronic and disabling musculoskeletal pain and evaluate the impact of this intervention on pain-related disability work function psychological distress and secondary outcomes
