Tracking back pain patterns with your smartphone
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study uses your smartphone's motion sensors to track how your back pain changes over time. It might help you understand your pain patterns — and helps researchers learn more about low back pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older.
- You have low back pain — any pain level above zero.
- You can communicate in German, French, or English.
- You own a smartphone (Android or iPhone) that can run apps and has built-in motion sensors.
- Your back pain is general, not caused by a specific problem like a fracture, tumor, or nerve issue, and you haven't had spinal fusion surgery.
- You don't have other medical conditions that could make moving your spine unsafe or affect your movement.
