Matthew J. Bair studies how to manage chronic pain, especially long-lasting musculoskeletal and low back pain, using approaches that reduce reliance on opioid medications. His work centers on clinical trials of self-management programs, behavioral therapies, and non-drug treatments, often for specific patient groups such as military veterans and people living with HIV. He also contributes to developing methods and guidelines for running pragmatic (real-world) pain treatment trials.
