What this Trial Is About
Chronic pain significantly affects individuals, their families, and society, yet most patients receive care in primary care settings where resources are limited. This research aims to evaluate the implementation of Paindrainer4, a CE-marked Class I digital tool designed to support self-management and improve chronic pain care in primary settings. The study explores whether integrating this tool can enhance pain management and improve patients' quality of life. Paindrainer4 consists of a mobile app for patients to self-monitor activity levels and symptoms, combined with a CARE portal for healthcare providers to remotely monitor patients. Using advanced neural networks, the tool provides personalized feedback to help users plan and balance daily activities affecting their pain. Participants will use Paindrainer4 alongside standard primary care treatment during the study. Participants will engage with the app to track their activities and symptoms, while healthcare providers use the CARE portal for remote monitoring. The study will measure outcomes over 12 weeks, including evaluation of the digital tool's support for managing persistent pain, changes in health-related quality of life, pain acceptance, and pain catastrophizing. The study aims to assess feasibility and potential benefits of this remote monitoring tool in routine primary care.
