This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing

Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved

Summary

This study is testing whether conversational AI software can effectively collect health information from people with chronic pain. Participants will chat with a digital tool that asks about their physical symptoms, emotions, and social life. The goal is to see if patients find this approach acceptable, easy to use, and practical for real-world settings.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Digital Biopsychosocial Conversational Data Collection Software (AI-powered chatbot)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that conversational AI is a practical way to gather detailed health information from chronic pain patients, potentially improving how their condition is understood and managed.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage feasibility study (100 participants) with no control group. It only measures how acceptable and usable the software is, not whether it improves health outcomes. Technical glitches or patient discomfort with AI conversations could limit its usefulness.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
