Summary
This study tested a device that uses muscle sensors and a phone app to teach people how to relax tense muscles. It included 330 adults with chronic low back pain, recent breast surgery pain, or migraines. Half used the device plus usual care; the other half had only usual care. The goal was to see if the device lowers pain and improves sleep and mood.
