Phase N/A

This study is about testing if an online program can help cancer survivors manage pain better. The program teaches ways to cope with pain and is compared to usual care. "Usual care" means the regular treatment people already get. The study looks at how the program affects pain severity and how pain affects daily life. It also checks if it changes medicine use, quality of life, and other factors like sleep and mood. A total of 250 cancer survivors will join, split into two groups: one using the internet program and one with only usual care. Participants will be in the study for 9 months.

  • Participation lasts for 9 months with online activities.
  • Participants must have internet access or join the Tablet Lending Program.
  • Eligible if diagnosed with cancer and experiencing significant pain.

To join, you need to have had cancer treatment and have pain that scores 4 or higher on a scale. You must be able to use the internet and have a stable pain medication routine if you are on pain meds. You cannot join if you have certain disabilities, unrelated pain issues, or substance abuse problems. The study provides support for those without internet access.
