Smartphone-based exercise intervention for chronic pain: PainReApp randomized clinical trial protocol

DISCUSSION: Physical exercise is becoming one of the leading evidence-based interventions to treat chronic pain. It needs to be adapted to the necessities of each pain condition. One of the major problems is the low adherence to the proposed program. New strategies that empower the patients, such as the m-Health, are reliable and useful tools to ease this end.IMPACT: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first long-term randomized controlled trial researching the impact of an m-health system on chronic pain from different origin. The intervention is based on international physical exercise recommendations and can be performed without specific material, allowing the home-based practice.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12621000783820).PMID:34825739 | DOI:10.1111/jan.15095
