Validity, Reliability, Feasibility, and Usefulness of Pain Monitor: A Multidimensional Smartphone App for Daily Monitoring of Adults With Heterogenous Chronic Pain
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVES: Ecological momentary assessment has been recommended in the management of chronic pain. Smartphone apps might be a useful tool for that purpose. This goal of this study was to develop and test a multidimensional smartphone app for adults with chronic pain. A multidisciplinary team developed the app content after a series of meetings, considering clinical guidelines for pain measurement. The content included pain intensity and interference, fatigue, mood, perceived health status, activity level, side effects of the medication, use of rescue medication, and pain-related sychological constructs (catastrophizing, acceptance, fear, and coping). METHODS: Thirty-eight participants (21 to 59 y) used the app, called Pain Monitor, twice a day during 30 consecutive days. Patients completed a set of well-established measures at the beginning and end of the study via paper-and-pencil. Weekly phone assessments were also made for pain intensity, pain interference, fatigue, and mood. RESULTS: Construct validity was revealed by moderate-to-strong correlations between app content and traditional measures. Feasibility was supported by high compliance (between 70% and 82%) and high acceptability and ease of use. Both side effects of the medication and use of rescue medication were found to be useful tools to guide treatment. DISCUSSION: The new assessment protocol in the app allows for an easy and rapid multidimensional assessment of chronic pain patients.

The clinical utility of experiential sampling for improving the assessment of clinical change and evolution has been demonstrated with patients with major depression or psychotic disorders, or with chronic pain conditions.
“The clinical utility of ES for improving the assessment of clinical change and evolution has been demonstrated with patients with major depression or psychotic disorders (van Os et al., 2017), or with chronic pain conditions (Suso-Ribera et al., 2018).”

The comparability of the paper-and-pencil and app assessments was not conducted in this study because the validity of the assessment protocol across measurement modalities was already performed in past research.
“The comparability of the paper-and-pencil and app assessments was not conducted here because the validity of the current assessment protocol across measurement modalities was already performed in past research [42].”
Single items for each construct were validated against well-established measures of pain severity, pain interference, fatigue, and mood, and the correlations were significant and moderate in strength.
“In past research, single items for each of these constructs were validated to be used in the Pain Monitor app [42].”
The Pain Monitor app was found to have valid content comparable to well-established paper-and-pencil measures and high patient acceptability, with response rates greater than 70% for daily responses over one month.
“was found to have valid content (i.e., comparable to well-established paper-and-pencil measures) and high patient acceptability (i.e., response rates greater than 70% for daily responses over a period of one month) [42].”
The assessment protocol used in the app was validated in a previous study.
“The assessment protocol used in the app was validated in a previous study which allowed a reduction of items which can be more effectively used in ecological momentary assessments [42].”
Overall, the response to the prompted daily questions in the app was good, with patients responding to 77.0% of daily evaluations on average, comparable to past research.
“Overall, the response to the prompted daily questions in app was good (on average, patients responded to 77.0% of daily evaluations) and comparable to past research [42].”
Ecological momentary assessment with the app is feasible in terms of patient response rates.
“these alarms could be generated because of the ecological momentary assessment with the app, which current and past research has revealed to be feasible in terms of patient response rates [42].”
The patient's ability to use the technology was not evaluated in the present investigation because excellent usability findings had already been reported in the original validation study.
“the patient’s ability to use the technology was not evaluated in the present investigation because excellent usability findings had already been reported in the original validation study [42].”
Ecological momentary assessment could help obtain a more accurate picture of treatment response, which may help guide interventions more effectively.
“ecological momentary assessment could help us obtain a more accurate picture of treatment response which may help guide interventions in a more effective manner [42].”
The Monitor del Dolor (Pain Monitor) app has been recently validated in an empirical study that assessed a number of biopsychosocial constructs twice a day during 4 weeks.
“In the present study, we will use the Monitor del Dolor (Pain Monitor) app, which has been recently validated in an empirical study68 that assessed a number of biopsychosocial constructs twice a day during 4 weeks.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
