This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing Brief Pain Exposure Therapy (BPET), a new psychological approach to help people with long-term pain conditions feel better. The therapy teaches you strategies to gradually face and manage your pain in a supportive way. Researchers want to see if this treatment can reduce pain and improve quality of life for people with fibromyalgia, lupus, chronic pelvic pain, or chronic low back pain.
Many people with chronic pain don't get enough relief from medication alone, and some feel trapped by their pain. This trial exists to test whether teaching people practical skills to cope with and gradually confront their pain—rather than avoiding it—can help them feel better and function more fully in their daily lives.

You will participate in Brief Pain Exposure Therapy sessions, likely delivered over video calls from home, where a therapist will guide you through techniques to gradually confront and manage your pain. The program is designed to be brief, meaning it involves fewer sessions than traditional therapy. You'll learn practical skills you can use in your daily life to help reduce your pain and improve how you function.
