What this trial studies

This study aims to develop and evaluate the Diet4painrelief app, which integrates nutrition care into a specialist pain rehabilitation program for patients suffering from chronic pain and poor nutritional status. It will involve 20 patients who will undergo a bio-psycho-social assessment and complete dietary recordings to assess their nutritional intake. Following this, participants will receive a personalized behavior change program designed to improve their dietary habits and overall health outcomes. The study will measure feasibility, usability, and patient satisfaction with the app and the integrated care approach.
