Can AI chatbots replace doctor questionnaires for chronic pain patients?
NCT ID NCT07336537
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether conversational AI software can effectively collect health information from people with chronic pain. Participants will chat with a digital tool that asks about their physical symptoms, emotions, and social life. The goal is to see if patients find this approach acceptable, easy to use, and practical for real-world settings.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Digital Biopsychosocial Conversational Data Collection Software (AI-powered chatbot)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that conversational AI is a practical way to gather detailed health information from chronic pain patients, potentially improving how their condition is understood and managed.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage feasibility study (100 participants) with no control group. It only measures how acceptable and usable the software is, not whether it improves health outcomes. Technical glitches or patient discomfort with AI conversations could limit its usefulness.
