Summary

Cognitive-behavioral treatments have proven effective in helping people with chronic pain. However, due to the limited availability of trained clinicians, many young people with chronic pain problems do not benefit from them. In order to overcome the shortage of clinicians researchers have begun to develop treatment programs that could be self-administered by smartphones. Although this is a step in the right direction, it is equally true that it also encloses a problematic issue. Namely, a large number of experienced clinicians would still be needed to oversee the functioning of these programs, and it does not seem likely that they will be available within a short time, at least in certain countries.

The objectives of this project are (1) to develop a web platform (iPAINs) to assist the clinician in the process of (a) creating and (b) administering cognitive-behavioral treatments for the management of chronic pain in adolescents and young adults, and (2) study the efficacy of a self-administered cognitive-behavioral treatment for young people with fibromyalgia or chronic widespread pain, developed and administered through iPAINs.
