Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Digital interventions like MyRelief show promise for low back pain (LBP) self-management. While recruitment was feasible, retention was low, and usability requires optimization for better accessibility and navigation in future studies.

Area of Science:

  • Digital Health Interventions
  • Chronic Pain Management
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Low back pain (LBP) is a significant global cause of work absence.
  • Digital interventions offer potential for increased access to self-management support for persistent LBP.
  • The MyRelief program is a digital educational tool designed for LBP self-management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility, usability, and acceptability of the MyRelief digital educational program.
  • To assess the program's potential for supporting self-management strategies in individuals with persistent LBP.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective, uncontrolled feasibility study conducted across four countries (Italy, Portugal, Sweden, UK) from 2020-2021.
  • Participants with persistent LBP (>3 months) accessed the 8-unit MyRelief program.
  • Feasibility assessed by recruitment and retention rates; outcomes measured by Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), EuroQol 5-level questionnaire, Patient Enablement Instrument, and System Usability Scale.

Main Results:

  • Recruitment met feasibility thresholds (80% enrollment).
  • Retention rate was 42.5%, with a 57.5% dropout rate, not meeting the <35% target.
  • Health-related quality of life improved significantly; usability and enablement scores were good, but qualitative feedback highlighted navigation/access issues.

Conclusions:

  • The MyRelief program demonstrated recruitment feasibility but not retention feasibility.
  • Participant baseline disability levels may not represent the broader persistent LBP population.
  • Future research should enhance recruitment strategies and optimize digital platform navigation and accessibility based on user feedback.
