PAINGUIDE™ — THE RECOVERY PROGRAM

PainGuide™ is an evidence-based pain recovery program designed for adults living with chronic pain. The program includes biweekly telehealth sessions and daily pain tracking to help identify patterns and build your individualized Pain Profile. Participants also receive asynchronous support from a registered nurse, along with continuous clinical monitoring starting from Day 1. 

Clinical monitoring begins on Day 1 and includes daily check-ins with clinical review, along with targeted assessments. Participants also receive an updated Pain Profile and a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) after Week 12 to support communication with their healthcare provider. 

From the day you enroll, you’ll complete a brief daily check-in—tracking pain level, flare status, potential triggers, mood, and sleep. Your nurse reviews this data weekly to identify patterns, flag any concerns, and reinforce what you’re learning in real time.

This means your progress is being supported between sessions—not just during them. This ongoing clinical monitoring is what makes PainGuide™ a true clinical program.

Your Pain Profile is a clinical document built from both your initial screening and your ongoing monitoring data. It includes your 8-domain scores, flare patterns, changes in beliefs over time, RN clinical notes, and your documented recovery trajectory.

When you see your next provider—PT, therapist, PCP, or pain specialist—they don’t have to start from zero. They start with your data. You don’t have to retell your story. Your Pain Profile communicates it clearly.

Your PCS™ screening determines your acuity level — the level of nursing care you need right now:

Focused Recovery: Your pain has specific contributing factors. We focus on those. Standard monitoring, targeted intervention.

Comprehensive Recovery: Your pain has several contributing factors. We address all of them. Enhanced monitoring, broader clinical scope.

Collaborative Recovery: Your pain needs a team. We coordinate your care across providers. Weekly monitoring, interdisciplinary coordination.

Education and monitoring from Day 1 — always both. Nobody gets better from entering data points into an app, and nobody recovers from education alone with no one watching between sessions. We educate AND monitor from Day 1. The first 8 weeks build the data. The data builds your individualized Pain Recovery Plan. Then continued education and monitoring drive the plan forward — until recovery or stabilization. That's not a program that ends. That's a recovery pathway. 

Other things no other program provides: acuity-matched groups so you're with people at a similar place in their recovery, a Pain Profile that serves as a clinical handoff document for every future provider, and measured outcomes showing domain-level change — not just "do you feel better?" but which domains improved and which didn't, with data. 

Please notify your nurse at least 24 hours in advance. Session summaries are available. If you miss more than 2 consecutive sessions without communication, your nurse will reach out to discuss whether continuing in the current cohort or joining a future cohort is the better option for recovery. 

No. PainGuide™ is a nursing-led pain recovery education and monitoring program. It is not psychotherapy, counseling, or medical treatment. It teaches pain neuroscience across 11 evidence-based research frameworks within RN scope of practice. If your Pain Profile indicates a need for mental health support, we will recommend appropriate referrals. 

If your Pain Profile shows Collaborative Recovery acuity, your program includes additional care coordination, referral facilitation, and clinical infrastructure. In some cases, your nurse may recommend individual stabilization support before group entry, or co-management with a mental health professional alongside the group program.
