Can a text message help older cancer survivors move more and hurt less?
NCT ID NCT07227077
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study looks at the best times to send messages that encourage physical activity to older cancer survivors (65+) who have chronic pain. About 50 participants will wear an activity tracker and rate their pain four times a day using a smartphone app. The goal is to see if certain message timings lead to more activity and fewer pain episodes in the following 24 hours.
