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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a digitally delivered graded exposure treatment called iGET Living
What this could lead to
If effective, this digital program could offer a scalable, accessible way to help teens with chronic pain get back to normal activities.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage feasibility trial with a small sample and no control group, so results may not generalize or prove effectiveness.
