Participants are needed for a study to assess the effectiveness of a mind-body app for the treatment of chronic pain. 

Researchers from the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of the Fraser Valley (British Columbia) are looking for those with chronic pain to participate in this study. 

Who can participate?

They are looking for those who: 

  • have had chronic pain (bodily or head/migraine, includes fibromyalgia) for at least 6 months.   
  • have felt pain on at least half of the days in the last 6 months. 
  • have no significant cognitive impairments or psychiatric disorder and report no problematic substance use.   
  • have not previously used a mind-body application for their pain treatment/management (please reach out if you aren’t sure if an app you have used is considered a mind-body app) and are not enrolled in another pain study. 
  • are 19-75 years old

Please note: anxiety, depression, PTSD are not exclusions for our study as they are experienced by many patients chronic pain.
