SERENITY is a remote observational study designed to characterize inter-individual differences in chronic pain among adults with chronic low back pain and adults with spinal cord injury-related neuropathic pain. Participants will complete baseline assessments and intensive longitudinal data collection using ecological momentary assessment surveys, brief cognitive tests, and passive Fitbit data collection. Ecological momentary assessment surveys will be completed 4 times per day for at least 3 weeks and will assess pain interference, pain intensity, stress, affect, sleep, body and mind awareness, agency, medication use, manual therapy frequency, and related factors. The study will use Bayesian hierarchical modeling, clustering analyses, and causal discovery approaches to identify person-specific and group-level factors associated with pain interference.
Chronic pain is heterogeneous, and individuals with similar pain diagnoses may experience different levels of pain interference and may have different factors contributing to pain-related disability. SERENITY is a remote observational study designed to characterize between-subject heterogeneity in adults with chronic low back pain and adults with spinal cord injury-related neuropathic pain. The study will enroll 200 adults with chronic low back pain and 200 adults with spinal cord injury-related neuropathic pain. Participants will complete baseline demographic, clinical, pain, emotional funct…
