About this study

Chronic pain imposes a large burden on individuals and society. A patient-centric digital chronic pain management application, Managing My Pain Program (MMP) that incorporates validated questionnaires can be used to enhance communication between providers and patients and promote self-management to evaluate the extent of patient engagement with the app when used in clinical settings.

The main objectives for this project is to evaluate the engagement in patients using MMP, and to assess improvements in clinical outcomes directly relevant for pain management, as measured by clinically-validated tools.

Treatment and study plan

Manage My Pain (MMP) digital pain app group

Other

To evaluate the extent of patient engagement with the Manage My Pain (MMP) digital application when used in a clinical setting

Primary outcomes

  1. Evaluating engagement based on adoption and retention rates

    Time frame: 24 months

    Evaluating the number of patients who elected to use the Manage My Pain (MMP) application, and determining how long they used the app in the short-term (4.5 months) and long-term (4.5-7 months) follow-ups

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in depression as measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item (PHQ-9)

    Time frame: Short-term (4.5 months) and long-term (4.5-7 months)

    Minimum score of 0, maximum score of 27. The higher the score, the higher the severity of depression.

  2. Change in anxiety as measured by the General Anxiety Disorder 7-item Questionnaire (GAD-7)

    Time frame: Short-term (4.5 months) and long-term (4.5-7 months)

    Minimum score of 0, maximum score of 21. The higher the score, the higher the severity of anxiety.

  3. Change in pain disability as measured by the Pain Disability Index (PDI)

    Time frame: Short-term (4.5 months) and long-term (4.5-7 months)

    Minimum score of 0, maximum score of 70. The higher the score, the higher the severity of pain disability.

  4. Change in pain catastrophizing and measured by the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS)

    Time frame: Short-term (4.5 months) and long-term (4.5-7 months)

    Minimum score of 0, maximum score of 52. The higher the score, the higher the severity of pain catastrophizing.

  5. Change in opioid consumption as measured by Oral Morphine Equivalents (OME)

    Time frame: Short-term (4.5 months) and long-term (4.5-7 months)

    Minimum amount of 0, no maximum amount. The higher the amount the more opioid they are taking

  6. Change in patient satisfaction as measured by the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) scale

    Time frame: Short-term (4.5 months) and long-term (4.5-7 months)

    Minimum score of 1, maximum score of 7. The higher the score, the higher the level of patient satisfaction.
