About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial of an E-health Resilience Program For Chronic Spine Pain

This study will examine a e-health resilience based program, JOOL, for chronic spine pain patients through the following aims:

Aim 1: To test the effectiveness of a resilience based program known as JOOL Aim 2: To evaluate the characteristics of the participants most likely to benefit from this treatment

Read the detailed description

This is a pilot RCT in which 150 patients with chronic spine pain will be randomized to one of two arms: (1) a group that downloads the JOOL mobile application resilience program; and (2) a control group.The primary outcome will be a change in physical function.

Conditions
Back Pain, Neck Pain
Being tested
JOOL app

Control GroupNo intervention75 participants will take part in three visits (baseline, 30days and 60days)
InterventionActive comparator75 participants will take complete a baseline visit and then participate in the intervention. They will use the application, the JOOL app for 30 days. Then complete surveys at 30days and 60days after the interventions

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. PROMIS (Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) Physical Function Scale- Short form 10

    10 item survey measuring physical function. Each question is measured on a scale of 1-5. The lowest score being 10 and highest score is 50. A higher score correlates with poor physical functioning.

    Measured: 2 month
