PAIN Reports April 2, 2021 Jennifer S. Mascaro, Vinita Singh, Kathryn Wehrmeyer et al.
An app-delivered mindfulness program improved social functioning and reduced pain catastrophizing in patients with chronic pain. Patient characteristics predicted how much they engaged with the app, which matters for clinical use. The findings suggest that tailored approaches may be needed to support engagement among different patients.
