Description

Qiang Xie and co-authors charted in 2025 a path toward pain care fitted to each person rather than to a standard script. One-size opioid care for chronic pain can blunt gains and cause harm. Drug-free and noninvasive options, from exercise to mind-body work, can be tuned by person and over time within one person. The team defines what personal fit means here and sorts the tuning tricks on hand.

Trials so far show such tailoring can lift results. Yet hard gaps stay: no firm head-to-head trials against standard care, thin use of moment-by-moment tracking, and little patient hand in design. The team lays out the studies and digital tools needed to close those gaps.
