Summary

This study tested whether giving adults with chronic pain a user guide and weekly prompts helps them use an online pain-management resource more effectively. 99 participants were split into two groups: one got the guide and prompts, the other just the online resource. Researchers tracked changes in activity and sleep using a Fitbit.
