ACTsmart: Guided Smartphone-Delivered Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Chronic Pain—A Pilot Trial
Overview
This paper presents a pilot trial evaluating ACTsmart, a guided smartphone-delivered Acceptance and Commitment Therapy intervention designed to improve accessibility for adults with chronic pain. The study reports on an open-label trial involving 34 participants, assessing outcomes such as pain interference, psychological flexibility, and depressive symptoms over an eight-week treatment period and twelve-month follow-up. The authors describe preliminary findings indicating significant improvements in primary and secondary outcomes, suggesting the need for further randomized controlled trials.
