Brief summary (from the registry)

This project examines the efficacy and feasibility of contingency management (CM), delivered using a novel, fully automated CM app (DynamiCare Rewards), to promote daily self-monitoring of pain symptom severity and related variables (e.g., mood, sleep), as well as Rx opioid, alcohol, marijuana, cannabidiol (CBD), and Rx benzodiazepine use in a sample of chronic pain patients. The project will conduct a 2-arm randomized clinical trial (RCT) comparing those receiving reinforcement escalating with continuous performance of the target behavior (CM group) vs those asked to complete the survey but will not be incentivized (C group).
