  abstract     = {{We describe the design and clinical utility of a digital tool aimed to increase the quality of life for chronic pain patients. PainDrainer™ is a drug-free, self-management tool, powered by artificial intelligence that adapts to the self-reported activities of each individual patient, resulting in a truly patient-centric support. The tool was tested in an open label, one-arm pilot study performed in two phases, encompassing in total 15 patients. The change in quality of life, pre-and post-treatment by using PainDrainer™, was measured using a PROMIS® Pain Interference 6a validated questionnaire. The outcome showed a statistically significant improvement in pain interference, surpassed the minimal important difference between T-scores, and showed a reduction in pain intensity after six weeks’ treatment. In conclusions the study showed both patient acceptance and improvement in quality of life for chronic pain patients.}},
