Real-time Treatment of Chronic Pain Using Digital Intelligence
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Chronic Pain, Multidisciplinary Biopsychosocial Program, Quality of Life
In brief
This randomized controlled study will evaluate the effectiveness of real-time digital intelligence in the treatment of chronic pain. A total of 80 adult patients enrolled in a four-week multidisciplinary chronic pain programme will be randomly assigned to either standard treatment alone or standard treatment supported by a smartwatch and a mobile application for real-time monitoring of pain intensity, analgesic use, physical activity, and heart rate. Both groups will complete validated questionnaires assessing pain intensity, disability, quality of life, sleep, anxiety, depression, and treatment satisfaction at baseline, two weeks, and four weeks. The intervention group will additionally record daily pain scores and medication use via a mobile application and wear a smartwatch for continuous activity and heart rate monitoring. The study aims to determine whether real-time digital monitoring and physician availability improve clinical outcomes compared with standard multidisciplinary care alone.
