Official title: Mobile Based Attention Bias Modification Training for Chronic Pain
This study aims to examine the effects of smartphone-based Attention-Bias Modification Training (ABMT) in chronic pain participants.
- Conditions
- Chronic Pain
- Being tested
- Attention Modification Training, No Attention Modification Training

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Attention Modification TrainingBehavioural
Subjects are taught to disengage attention from a certain stimuli
No Attention Modification TrainingBehavioural
Subjects are exposed to two stimuli, but attention is not manipulated in any way
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Attention Modification Training | Experimental | ABMT is a newly emerging intervention that trains patients to override their tendency to focus on threatening aspects of an event and to interpret events as more neutral and therefore less stressful Receives: Behavioral: Attention Modification Training |
| No Attention Modification Training | Placebo comparator | There is no disengagement of attention from a target stimulus. Attention is divided equally between two stimuli on the screen. Receives: Behavioral: No Attention Modification Training |
