NCCIH's Role in Addressing the Opioid Crisis  The National Institutes of Health has launched a major initiative, called HEAL (Helping to End Addiction Long-termSM) to accelerate scientific solutions to the national opioid crisis. This initiative involves research in two areas: (1) improved treatments for opioid misuse and addiction and (2) enhanced pain management.   NCCIH is an active participant in both components of the HEAL Initiative. We're leading or co-leading several programs, including: Studies to evaluate interventions for pain management in real-world health care delivery systems Studies of behavioral interventions, such as mindfulness meditation or cognitive behavioral therapy, to see if they can enhance medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder Research to better understand low-back pain and develop improved, individualized ways to treat it Basic research to explore and discover new pain treatment options.   Find out more
