Can a phone app teach ear taps to ease chronic pain?

NCT ID NCT07179016

Summary

This study is testing a smartphone app that teaches people to use ear acupressure to manage their own chronic pain. It will involve 693 adults from rural areas who have long-term pain in areas like their back, neck, or knees. Researchers will compare learning the technique through the app, learning it in person, or just receiving educational materials to see which best helps reduce pain and improve daily life over six months.
