Summary

This study evaluates the effectiveness of wearable biofeedback devices in improving pain, mobility, and rehabilitation outcomes in elderly patients with arthritis and fibromyalgia in Karachi, Pakistan. In a randomized controlled trial involving 120 participants, one group will use biofeedback-integrated devices with guided exercises and virtual consultations, while the control group receives standard physiotherapy. The results will inform the potential of digital health solutions to improve accessibility and outcomes in remote rehabilitation for chronic pain management.
