Description
Zheng and seven co-authors test a mobile app to track pain after spine injections, in work from twenty twenty-five. Tracking outcomes after epidural joint injections is costly and time consuming, which hinders research. Mobile health apps could cut the staff time needed for recruitment and follow up.
Evidence for phone based pain tracking in spine care is limited and mixed. The feasibility study focused on how recruitment methods influence who joins and who stays in the study. Retention is the weak point of most app studies. Understanding it is essential before apps can replace phone follow up in trials.
