Summary

It planned to include focus groups and a small trial with a reward system. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no data or conclusions are available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Prescription Opioid Management App (smartphone application)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this app could help people use opioid painkillers more safely and reduce the risk of misuse.
- What could go wrong
- The study was withdrawn before it started, so no results are available. It was only a small feasibility study, so even if completed, it would not prove the app works on a large scale.
