Observational Study: Wearable Technology for Chronic Pain in Youth

This study is looking at how wearable digital health technology can help us understand chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain in young people. Researchers want to see if these devices, which continuously monitor things like sleep and physical activity, can give us a better picture of pain. The goal is to improve how we diagnose, prevent, and treat chronic pain. You might be able to join if you are between 14 and 24 years old, have had musculoskeletal pain for over 3 months, and your pain significantly affects your life. This is an observational study, meaning there are no specific interventions being tested, and it is currently unclear if they are actively recruiting participants.

Study design
This is an observational study planning to enroll 500 participants aged 14 to 24 years old.
What's involved
You would be monitored daily from baseline to discharge, for a duration of 12 weeks, using wearable digital health technology.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be monitored daily for 12 weeks, from baseline to discharge.

What this trial measures

  • Pain, Enjoyment of Life, and General Activity (PEG) ScaleDaily from baseline to discharge, for a duration of 12 weeks

    The PEG scale, a subset of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), evaluates pain intensity and its impact on enjoyment of life and general activity using a ranked scale (score 0 = "no interference" to 10 = "highest level of interference") with a higher score reflecting greater disruption in daily functioning.
