Conditions

Summary

The pAIn-sense study aims to revolutionize the monitoring and treatment of chronic pain, a major health concern that significantly impacts psychological well-being and quality of life. Traditional approaches to pain management face challenges like unspecific drug use and high healthcare costs, and they often leave patients dissatisfied. PAIn-sense aims at comprehensively understanding pain from both physical and emotional perspectives. To accomplish this, the study will employ advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques and wearable sensing technology. The study aims to monitor patients continuously, during both day and night activities, to gather a multidimensional set of data on their physiological, psychosocial, and pain conditions.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is exploring new ways to monitor and understand chronic pain — both its physical and emotional dimensions — using wearable sensors and artificial intelligence. Researchers will use technology to continuously track biological signals like heart rate, skin conductance, and sleep quality in people with ongoing pain, rather than relying only on patients' self-reports. Adults with ongoing nociceptive pain after an injury or neuropathic pain (acute or chronic) who are comfortable using electronic devices may be eligible. Participation involves wearing biosensor devices during daily activities and reporting your pain and emotional state through an app. This summary was prepared to help patients understand the study in plain language.
