Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Pain education and clinical hypnosis delivered via a mobile app

Pain education and clinical hypnosis will be delivered via a mobile app. The 8-week intervention includes daily sessions on pain education and clinical hypnosis for managing back pain (5 minutes of education, 15 minutes of listening to hypnotherapy audio and engaging in physical/social activities for 5 minutes). The first six weeks will be semi-standardised, with participants following a set program with the option to repeat sessions. The last two weeks will be flexible, allowing participants to choose a specific program or self-paced continuation of the intervention. Adherence will be monitored by tracking the number of days participants complete sessions, as recorded by the mobile app.

BEHAVIORAL

Guideline-informed factsheet

A single guideline-informed factsheet for back pain delivered via a webpage. Participants will be informed that the factsheet intends to provide reassurance for their back pain and encourage reflections on treatments and self-management options.
