NCT ID NCT04607460

Summary

This study tested whether a biofeedback device could help people manage different types of chronic pain. 330 adults with chronic low back pain, recent breast surgery, or migraines were randomly assigned to either use the device with guidance or continue their usual care. The device uses sensors and a phone/tablet app to help users learn to relax their muscles, with the goal of reducing pain and improving sleep and mood.
