First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 43 times
Summary
This study tests whether a mobile app that teaches cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can reduce chronic pain and improve daily functioning in adolescent survivors of childhood cancer. Researchers will compare the app to standard pain education in 228 participants (teens and their caregivers) across four U.S. hospitals. The goal is to find a more accessible, culturally sensitive way to help these teens manage pain and get back to normal activities.
