- Behavioral: Mobile intervention on values and goals in patients with chronic pain.
- Registration Number
- NCT05205889
- Lead Sponsor
- Philipps University Marburg Medical Center
- Brief Summary
The study aims to test a mobile intervention on values and goals in chronic pain patients. The cognitive behavioral intervention is a 10-day course in which participants complete a brief intervention each day (about 10-20 minutes a day). The content of the intervention includes the definition of values; development of individualized values and personal value-oriented goals; and implementation of personal goals in every day life. To assess the effectiveness of the intervention, we use a multiple baseline single case design. Baseline measurements will be assessed daily between 10 and 17 days (the exact number will be randomized). Daily measurements will continue during the intervention. After the intervention, another post measurement will be collected.
