Could a smartphone app ease the agony of waiting for chronic pain treatment?

This study tests a self-guided digital psychology app, called Manage My Pain, along with weekly email reminders, for people with fibromyalgia or chronic pelvic pain who are on a waitlist for specialized pain care. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and acceptable, and whether it helps improve pain self-management and reduce distress. Sixty adults referred to a pain clinic will use the app and provide feedback through surveys and interviews.
