Abstract

Education is considered a foundational component of chronic pain treatment. In response to challenges relating to accessibility and scalability, health services have increasingly adopted online formats for delivering pain education programmes. However, little is known about how patients experience these digital interventions, particularly in relation to engagement, meaning‐making, and perceived impact. This study aimed to explore participant experiences of completing an online education programme for chronic pain.
