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.
