What this trial studies

This study tests an internet-delivered, therapist-assisted cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program specifically designed for adults suffering from chronic cancer-related pain. The intervention is based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on enhancing psychological flexibility to manage pain. The trial aims to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of this tailored approach, addressing the gap in access to traditional pain management therapies for cancer patients. Participants will engage with the program through a smartphone application, allowing for daily diary recordings and support.
