First seen Jul 22, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing a digital program called iGET Living for adolescents aged 10–18 with chronic musculoskeletal pain. The program uses graded exposure therapy, a behavioral approach that helps patients gradually face feared and avoided activities. The study will first test the program's acceptability in a small group, then evaluate its feasibility and preliminary effectiveness in a larger group using a single-case experimental design.
