Summary

This study tested a mobile app called STAMP+CBT for advanced cancer patients with chronic pain. The app helps patients track their pain, mood, and opioid use while providing tailored education and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) exercises. Fifty-two patients used the app for 4 weeks, with follow-up surveys to see if it was easy to use and helpful. The goal was to see if this approach could improve pain management and quality of life.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy delivered via a mobile app
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a practical, app-based way to help advanced cancer patients better manage chronic pain and reduce reliance on opioids.
What could go wrong
This was a small pilot study with only 52 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The app's benefits depend on patient engagement and may not work for all types of pain.
