The evidence base includes three systematic reviews and meta-analyses, supported by additional literature and real-world observations from practitioners and patients. The guideline development panel comprised health professionals across psychology and related fields, together with community members living with this condition. The work evaluates the efficacy of noninvasive, nonpharmacological and complementary/integrative approaches, and compares their effectiveness across treatment combinations and selected nonopioid pharmacologic options.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/healthcare/","Healthcare",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/apa-clinical-practice-guideline-for-psychological-and-other-nonpharmacological-treatment-of-chronic-musculoskeletal-pain-in-adults-guideline-development-panel/296771/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/apa-clinical-practice-guideline-for-psychological-and-other-nonpharmacological-treatment-of-chronic-musculoskeletal-pain-in-adults-guideline-development-panel/296771.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Clementine","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-22","2026-09-18",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",14,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What
