Motivational interviewing (MI) has become a popular approach for increasing adherence. This study investigates whether MI is effective in improving adherence, pain and physical function for patients with chronic pain. A literature search of randomized controlled trials identified 7 eligible studies with 962 participants with chronic pain. There was a small to moderate overall effect of MI on increased adherence to treatment from baseline to post intervention, but not from baseline to follow-up. Although significant short-term effects of MI were also observed for pain intensity, analyses revealed that this finding may be due to publication bias.
