You may be eligible if
Romantic couples who are married or living with each other for 6 months or longer or have been in a romantic relationship 2+ years.
One individual in the couple must have chronic muscoskeletal pain, lasting 3 months or longer. Participants may have multiple pain sites.
The individual with chronic pain must report that their pain occurs nearly daily.
The individual with chronic pain must have an average pain intensity of 3 or greater on an 11-point scale (from 0: no pain to 10: worst pain imaginable)
The individual with chronic pain must have an average pain interference of 3 or greater on an 11-point scale (from 0: does not interfere to 10: completely interferes)
You may not be if
One or both individuals in the couple are unable to speak, read, or write in English.
Both individuals in the couple have chronic pain. Couples may consist of one individual with chronic pain and one individual with "minimal pain", which we define as having some aspects of chronic pain but not all (e.g., has had nearly daily pain for 4 months but rates their pain below 3 in regards to interference and intensity)
One or both individuals in the couple have widespread pain (e.g., fibromyalgia)
