Web-based Mind-body Program to Improve Resilience Among Risky Substance Users With Persistent Upper Extremity Pain

The investigator aims to conduct a feasibility randomized controlled trial (RCT) (N=50) to test the feasibility, acceptability, and credibility of an asynchronous web-based mind-body intervention (Toolkit for Resilient Life beyond Pain and Substance Use; Web-TIRELESS) versus web-based minimally enhanced usual care (Web-MEUC) among adult patients with a painful non-traumatic upper-extremity condition(s) (PNUC) and commorbid risky substance use. Deliverables: \[1\] Adapt and refine open pilot protocol, patient recruitment, and other study materials. \[2\] Assess the feasibility, acceptability, and credibility of Web-TIRELESS and Web-MEUC in preparation for future research.

A Randomized Controlled Trial of Oral CBD for the Treatment of Upper Extremity Musculoskeletal Pain

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the use of cannabidiol (CBD) capsules as a treatment for musculoskeletal pain. CBD is commonly being used as an over-the-counter treatment for musculoskeletal pain. Clinical trials have demonstrated a pain-relief benefit for hand and wrist osteoarthritis with topical CBD, however patients prefer oral CBD and no clinical trial has been performed to establish efficacy of oral CBD in humans for upper extremity musculoskeletal pain. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is CBD more effective than placebo at relieving pain for upper extremity musculoskeletal pain ? Is CBD safe for participants with upper extremity musculoskeletal pain? Participants will: take 4 weeks of daily CBD capsules take 4 weeks of daily placebo capsules answer surveys about how they are feeling and functioning. Participants will \[describe the main tasks participants will be asked to do, interventions they'll be given and use bullets if it is more than 2 items\].
