A Pilot Study on App-based Treatment Combining Physical Exercise, Graded Activity, and Pain Journaling for Patients with Spinal Complaints

"The app-based treatment consists of a combination of physical exercise, graded activity, and pain journaling. The app will be installed on the participant's mobile device. The app will be used anonymously, and patients use their unique study code to activate the app.~The content and user-interface of the app-based treatment were developed in collaboration with healthcare professionals for relevant medical specialties, including orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, neurology, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation. The content is based on expert opinion from these fields. Additionally, there is scientific evidence indicating that the treatments used within the app are safe and effective. The app has been tested for usability and functionality by both professionals and laypersons, including individuals with back pain."
