Translating e-pain research into patient care
Open accessAbstract
Recently, a call was made to expand the availability of pain self-management for the public, but several obstacles limit access to pain services such as distance, cost, and availability. Technology-based interventions can help with access to pain management, and consideration of these opportunities is timely given service pressures, changing consumer preferences, and the burgeoning ownership of personal computers and smartphones. In that context, we have described the features of e-pain technologies, the challenges in developing e-pain technologies, the existing evidence in relation to technology-based pain management, the debate regarding regulation of e-pain treatments, and the likely steps for future development of these interventions.

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.
