Intervention group
Self-management support
Self-management support
The 12-week intervention consists of an iPad application for patients that is connected to a web application for nurses. Every morning and evening patients register pain and related symptoms by use of a pain diary. Patients are also requested to register medication intake. Graphical feedback is provided based on registered pain scores and medication intakes. Patients receive education on causes and treatment of pain, symptoms that require action, and methods to better control pain. Patients communicate with nurses via text message functionality within the application. Specialized nurses remotely monitor and analyze the patients' situation once every workday. Nurses have the opportunity to collaborate with the treating physician, pain specialist or multidisciplinary team.
