Summary

This project aims to test the effectiveness of an ICT-based delivery of an evidencebased psychological intervention for Chronic Pain (CP) - iACTwithPain. CP is a prevalent health problem worldwide, including in Portugal (around 30% of population) placing a significant economic burden on healthcare systems. Although CP is associated with psychological symptoms (i.e. depression and anxiety) and poor social functioning and quality of life, there is a lack of nationwide provision of evidence-based psychological services in healthcare units for CP. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) offer attractive tools through which self-management programmes can be delivered. The dissemination and commercialization of iACTwithPain will provide a much-needed pain self-management service and its ICT-based delivery form will increase the accessibility in large cohorts of the population with limited access to standard treatment.
