Abstract
This thesis project focused on occupational therapy’s evolving role in the treatment of chronic pain through an examination of various interventions used. We conducted a survey of practicing occupational therapists that sought to investigate the trends in evidence-based practice by occupational therapists treating individuals with chronic pain. Through this survey, it was found that occupational therapists are using evidence-based practices in treating chronic pain. Specifically, the most common treatment interventions that our respondents reported they use to treat chronic pain are: energy conservation strategies, task adaptation, coping strategies, relaxation techniques, breathing techniques, and pacing. Occupational therapists are recommended to use evidence-based occupation specific interventions to maintain their unique contribution to treating individuals that have chronic pain.
