Physiological Monitoring of Participants with Chronic Pain Feasibility Study
Recruiting
We are asking people to participate in this study to help us learn more about how physiology (heart rate, sweating, temperature, etc.) of people with pain conditions changes based on perceived pain level. The goal is to use this information to help develop a new medical device designed to help better manage chronic pain, although we are only collecting information at this time, and there will be no treatment provided as part of this study. We expect that people will be in this research study for a maximum of 2 weeks.
