Trial Summary

Do I need to stop my current medications for this trial?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.

What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Cell Phone Based Cognitive Based Therapy (Pacifica App) for hip pain?

Research shows that digital interventions, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), can improve outcomes for chronic hip pain, with significant improvements in pain and function. Additionally, smartphone apps using CBT principles have been identified as promising for pain management, suggesting potential benefits for hip pain when using the Pacifica App.12345

Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy delivered via smartphone apps safe for humans?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) delivered through smartphone apps is generally considered safe for humans, as it is based on well-established psychological principles. However, the quality and effectiveness of these apps can vary, and they are often developed without input from healthcare professionals.46789

How does the Pacifica App treatment for hip pain differ from other treatments?

The Pacifica App offers a unique approach to managing hip pain by providing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) through a smartphone app, making it more accessible and convenient compared to traditional in-person therapy sessions. This app-based treatment allows users to engage in self-management of their pain, potentially increasing adherence and engagement with the therapy.14101112

What is the purpose of this trial?

Psychosocial conditions are common in young adults with hip pain including depression, anxiety, pain catastrophizing, and narcotic use. The incidence of these conditions is not well defined. Interventions to optimize psychosocial conditions with non-surgical or surgical treatments has not been investigated. The goal of this project is to determine the incidence of psychosocial conditions in the young adult population with hip pain and determine if cognitive based therapy can improve clinical outcomes in these individuals.

Findings from Research

Standalone smartphone-based ecological momentary interventions (EMIs) based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles have been shown to significantly improve well-being and reduce mental health symptoms among users, according to a review of 26 studies.
Users rated these EMIs as helpful and satisfying, indicating their potential as scalable and accessible mental health support, especially important during global crises like the COVID-19 pandemic.

A 4-week smartphone intervention that included daily diary entries and therapist feedback significantly reduced catastrophizing in women with chronic widespread pain, showing a large effect size (Cohen's d=0.87) immediately after the intervention.
At a 5-month follow-up, the intervention continued to show moderate effects on reducing catastrophizing, improving pain acceptance, and maintaining functioning levels, indicating its long-term efficacy in supporting self-management after inpatient rehabilitation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is effective in addressing various factors that influence chronic low back pain (CLBP), but the term itself is too broad for future research, necessitating specific definitions based on the problems being addressed.
Despite its proven effectiveness, CBT is not widely implemented in clinical practice for CLBP, highlighting the need for early adoption and a public health approach to operationalize these treatments.
