NCT ID NCT06651190
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests a smartphone app called PainCaRe, designed to help parents of young children (ages 2-11) with cancer manage their child's pain at home. The app asks parents to report their child's pain daily and gives personalized, evidence-based pain relief tips. The study will enroll 40 parents to see if the app is easy to use and worth testing in a larger trial.
