Oklahoma Study of Native American Pain Risk IV: Smoking Cessation and Pain
Sponsor: University of Oklahoma
Summary
The goal of this pilot study is to assess whether 4-weeks of verified smoking abstinence following financial incentive treatment for smoking cessation improves physiological markers of chronic pain risk in adult Native American smokers. The main aims to answer are: 1. Determine study feasibility. 2. Obtain effect sizes for changes in pain amplification and pain inhibition in abstinent vs non-abstinent Native Americans. 3. Obtain effect sizes for variables in the conceptual model of the Native American smoking-pain relationship.

Smoking Cessation
Investigators will provide financial incentives for biochemically verified abstinence at 4 weeks following treatment. This incentive is consistent with recent research using macro-level financial incentives and incorporates both short-term and long-term incentives to shape behavior.
