Mobile Health mHealth App to Help Cancer Survivors Manage Pain and Symptoms A One-Week Behavioral Support Intervention Using PsyMINT App

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating a mobile health mHealth app-based behavioral intervention designed to help cancer survivors manage pain and symptoms after treatment. This pilot test aims to check the feasibility of using the PsyMINT app to deliver messages that support self-efficacy and pain self-management before expanding to a larger randomized controlled trial. The study focuses on survivors who have completed treatment and experience related pain. Participants will use the PsyMINT app for one week, receiving a series of 60 evidence-based intervention messages. The app will also prompt users to complete ecological momentary assessments twice daily and electronic diaries once daily. Message topics include pain management education, positive psychology, opioid literacy, skills for patient-provider communication and trust, and quality of life improvements. During the study, participants will be assessed at the start and end of the one-week intervention for feasibility and acceptability of the app. Researchers will also measure changes in pain management self-efficacy and quality of life using two standardized questionnaires. The study involves active user engagement and monitoring over one week to evaluate the apps potential for broader use.
