App and brain zaps offer new hope for teen cancer survivors in pain
NCT ID NCT05746429
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a mobile cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program, combined with a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS, could help teens who survived bone cancer manage chronic pain. Researchers first adapted the program for Black and Hispanic teens, then tested it in about 30 survivors. The goal was to see if the approach was feasible and could reduce pain intensity, interference, and related symptoms like anxiety and depression.
