Study Summary

This trial tests a new program to help adults with chronic pain & spinal cord injury. Treatments are compared for adherence, satisfaction & pain interference.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with chronic pain due to spinal cord injury who can use the internet and speak English. They should have had an average pain level of at least 4 out of 10 over the past three months but not be in intensive therapy or have significant cognitive impairment.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests an eHealth program called My SCI Toolkit, offered both with a coach's support and without guidance, against usual treatment. It aims to see if having a coach improves adherence, satisfaction, and reduces pain interference more than unguided use or waiting for treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-medical interventions (eHealth programs), traditional side effects like those from medication are not expected. However, participants may experience discomfort or frustration using the technology or emotional distress engaging with their chronic pain.
