Digital Care for Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain: A 10,000 User Longitudinal Observational Study These results support the efficacy and scalability of a DCP for chronic low back and knee pain in a large, diverse, real-world population. Participants demonstrated high completion and engagement rates, and a significant positive relationship between engagement and pain reduction was identified, a finding which has not been previously demonstrated in a DCP. Furthermore, the large sample size allowed for identification of distinct pain response subgroups which may prove beneficial in predicting recovery and tailoring future interventions. This is the first longitudinal digital health study to analyze pain outcomes in a sample of this magnitude, and it supports the prospect for DCPs to serve the overwhelming number of musculoskeletal pain sufferers worldwide.
