A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The pAIn-sense study aims to transform chronic pain management by utilizing an advanced telemonitoring system that combines Artificial Intelligence and wearable technology. This observational study will continuously gather multidimensional data on patients' physiological and psychosocial conditions, providing a comprehensive understanding of their pain experiences. By addressing the limitations of traditional pain management approaches, the study seeks to identify biomarkers and reliable endpoints for pain assessment, ultimately leading to more personalized treatment strategies. The focus is on both nociceptive and neuropathic pain, with the goal of improving patient outcomes and satisfaction.
