SERENITY Study of Chronic Pain Interference in Adults

Sponsor: University of Minnesota

Summary

SERENITY is a remote observational study designed to characterize inter-individual differences in chronic pain among adults with chronic low back pain and adults with spinal cord injury-related neuropathic pain. Participants will complete baseline assessments and intensive longitudinal data collection using ecological momentary assessment surveys, brief cognitive tests, and passive Fitbit data collection. Ecological momentary assessment surveys will be completed 4 times per day for at least 3 weeks and will assess pain interference, pain intensity, stress, affect, sleep, body and mind awareness, agency, medication use, manual therapy frequency, and related factors. The study will use Bayesian hierarchical modeling, clustering analyses, and causal discovery approaches to identify person-specific and group-level factors associated with pain interference.
