Brief summary (from the registry)
We are investigating the effects of a mind-body based mobile application on the experience of chronic pain. Participants meeting our criteria for chronic pain (confirmed via self-report) will complete an online baseline questionnaire. Eligible participants will be enrolled in the study and randomized into control (usual care, waitlisted) or intervention group (6-week mind-body based mobile application intervention). Randomization will be stratified by pain intensity and gender using computer-generated block randomization to create varying block sizes of 4 and 8. We will run the trial in multiple cohorts in series to obtain desired sample size. All participants will complete online questionnaires at baseline and post-intervention at 6 weeks that measure pain intensity, interference with daily living, pain perceptions, mental health outcomes, and medication use. Participants will also complete weekly questionnaires on weeks 2 to 6 to gauge frequency of application usage (intervention) or other pain treatments (control). Participants in the intervention group will be asked to repeat the follow-up questionnaire at 12-weeks.
