Pain is a leading cause of disability globally. The dramatic
increase in opioid prescriptions within the past decade in the
United States has contributed to the opioid epidemic the country
currently faces, magnifying the need for longer term solutions to
treat pain. The substantial burden of pain and the ongoing opioid
crisis have attracted increased attention in medical and public
policy communities, resulting in a revolution in thinking about how
pain is managed. This new thinking acknowledges the complexity and
biopsychosocial nature of the pain experience and the need for
multifaceted pain management approaches with both pharmacological
and nonpharmacological therapies. The magnitude and urgency of the
twin problems of chronic pain and opioid addiction, combined with
the changing landscape of pain management, prompted the National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a
workshop on December 4?5, 2018, in Washington, DC. The workshop
brought together a diverse group of stakeholders to discuss the
current status of nonpharmacological approaches to pain management,
gaps, and future directions. This publication summarizes the
presentations and discussions from the workshop. Table of Contents
