Brief summary (from the registry)
Chronic pain is one of the pathological processes with the greatest impact on the demand of health services. The cost of this process in Spain according to the results is 2.5% of Gross Domestic Product (Breivik, Collett, Ventafridda et al. 2006).Mainly affects women and in it psychological, behavioral and psychological factors converge (Cöster, Kendall, Gerdle et al. 2008). The role of gender as a social determinant of health is known (Stansfeld, 2006). Multidisciplinary and not only pharmacological intervention stands as a desirable paradigm for addressing this type of health problem, and it is considered necessary to standardize treatment in this regard. Thus, psychological constructs such as the concept of "catastrophization" have demonstrated the relationship between suffering and the displacing experience (Wade, Riddle, Price, Dumenci, 2011) and the psychological framework of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy has also revealed its positive effect. . The rise of new technologies makes it necessary to give added value to the use of digital mobile devices for its potential contribution to the health care of the population, given its immediacy, widespread use, possibility of interaction and increase of the margin of accessibility to health services. The present project aims to demonstrate that multidisciplinary and combined intervention of pharmacological therapies with specific psychological therapies along with the use of mobile digital devices can improve the management and evolution of chronic pain.
