Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This randomized controlled trial evaluates a digital health application based on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for patients with axial spondyloarthritis experiencing persistent pain despite stable pharmacological treatment. The study compares an intervention group using the ACT app against a standard of care group, measuring outcomes such as pain-related life interference and affective distress over 12 weeks. Results indicate that the intervention group experienced greater reductions in these measures compared to the control group, suggesting potential utility for digital behavioral therapy in this population.
