Study shows pain coping skills training greatly improves outcomes for dialysis patients.

A study by the NIDDK found that pain coping skills training (PCST) significantly reduced pain interference and improved other pain-related outcomes for people with end-stage kidney disease undergoing dialysis. The PCST group saw improvements in pain intensity, depression, anxiety, and quality of life.
