Feasibility of a mobile application to track longitudinal pain outcomes after epidural joint injections
Tracking post-injection pain using mHealth applications is feasible, though success depends heavily on recruitment strategy. In-person physician-led enrollment resulted in the highest recruitment and retention rates though the drop-out rates were still significant. Future studies should focus on refining recruitment approaches to optimize patient participation.
