A chronic pain study app is an interesting find @cantab, thank you for sharing the link. Good for Brown University! I'm all for more scientific research behind why some people end up with chronic pain after an experience like surgery, or perhaps a major life event, and some do not. For some, acute problems get resolved and on with life they go. I have central sensitization syndrome, and had tried to figure it out for years. It wasn't until I went to Mayo's rehab program that I learned about the science behind it. Behavioral and emotional responses point to a lot in my mind, as mentioned in the article. That is just one piece of the puzzle though. Now that you downloaded the app do you plan on participating and using it? If you do and feel comfortable sharing your experience, I'd like to learn about it more. Will you share your thoughts?

I can’t open the Boston Globe article. Would you mind specifically giving the app info. I’d like to download it.
