In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of two communication interventions, compared to standard app notifications, in increasing adherence to a mobile health app among individuals with chronic low back pain. The main question it aims to answer is: Do phone calls or text messages increase adherence compared to app notifications in patients receiving a digital health intervention for chronic back pain? Participants will: A) Receive pain education and clinical hypnosis via a mobile app for managing chronic LBP; B) Will be contacted up to twice via phone call or text message, or they will only receive standard notifications from the app.
