TW04 - Digital Health and Pain Management During the COVID-19 Pandemic: What Have We Learned and How Will Things Change?

The COVID-19 pandemic has been profoundly felt by those seeking or receiving chronic pain treatment. Patients are at risk of severe and debilitating sequelae, without needed services for recovery (i.e., developing new behaviors designed to enhance coping and quality of life) due to halting in-person care and a slow pivot to virtual care. While virtual care models (e.g., telehealth) and web and smartphone pain applications show efficacy, their implementation has been sporadic. This workshop will present a discussion on what was learned in caring for persons with chronic pain during the global pandemic. We will (1) review early evidence and describe the facilitators and barriers encountered in remotely caring for and enhancing patient engagement to influence behavior change; (2) describe what technological solutions were found to be most useful to provide virtual clinic assessments and treatment across the life span (children, young adults, adults, elderly); (3) discuss specific virtual interventions including physical activity monitoring, symptom tracking, medication use, and synchronous and asynchronous pain management using videoconferencing, smartphone apps, and wearable sensors; and (4) present recommendations of how pain management services using virtual care technology can be implemented and how these will become standard practice in pain management.
