Effectiveness of the Multicomponent Therapy in Chronic Pain Through The Use of Smartphones

For the elaboration of the contents of the multi-component treatment of the mobile device application (APP), a set of guidelines has been developed for the care of one's own health, based on scientific evidence and adapted to the language of citizens, applying participatory methodology (Loewenson et al. 2014) and consensus, both by professionals (physicians,, nurses, psychologists, pharmacists, social educators and health professionals), and expert patients, who guarantee their validity, allowing the analysis and selection of the interventions that respond to the health problem. This intervention consists in the implementation of a protocol of standard activities of the interactive psychosocial therapy type.

Face-to-face health education sessions led by nurses and physicians, with the possibility to have access to a non-interactive website with pain management materials from a self-help approach.
