Summary

This study is testing a smartphone app called Digital SPA, designed with input from teens, to help adolescents aged 12–17 manage chronic pain. The app uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to reduce pain interference and emergency room visits. About 195 teens and their parents will try the app and report their experiences through questionnaires and interviews.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Digital SPA smartphone app based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this app could give teens a practical, accessible way to manage chronic pain at home and reduce long-term disability.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 195 participants, and the app content is still being developed. Results may not apply to all types of chronic pain or settings.

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