This study is exploring if "Laterality Training" can help adults with chronic shoulder or knee pain that has lasted over six months. Laterality Training is a brain-based therapy where you identify left or right body parts using a tablet app. Researchers want to see if this training reduces your self-reported pain and the area you mark as painful on a pain drawing. You would be compared to a group doing a crossword puzzle. To join, you must be 18 or older, have chronic shoulder or knee pain, read English, and have no visual impairments that would affect the training.

Study design

This study plans to enroll 60 participants and compares Laterality Training to a sham (no treatment) group doing a crossword puzzle.

What's involved

Participants will complete a structured laterality training session or a crossword puzzle for 10 minutes. Pain drawing area will be measured at the beginning and approximately 15 minutes after the intervention.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants are assessed post-intervention, approximately 15 minutes after the initial assessment.
