eHealth Study for Chronic Pain in Black and LGBTQ+ Adults

This study is testing an app called EPIO, which is a program designed to help you manage chronic pain using cognitive-behavioral techniques. The goal is to see how well this app can be shared and used by Black and/or LGBTQ+ adults in the USA who have had chronic pain for at least three months, and whose pain makes daily activities difficult. You would need daily access to a smartphone or tablet and be willing to use the EPIO app. Researchers will measure changes in your pain experience using a score called the West Haven Yale Multiphasic Pain Inventory (WHYMPI) at the beginning and after 6 weeks. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 300 people.
