Trialist

The Trialist App allows people suffering from chronic pain to track levels of pain, daily functioning, quality of life, and helps them to perform their own personalized experiments comparing two different pain treatments. This will help pain sufferers to identify effective treatments quickly.

People choose two different treatments to test. The Trialist App will randomize when they take their treatments and provides reminders when to take each treatment. At the end of the personalized experiment the App will display what graphs showing which treatment were more effective.
People perform their own clinical trial with personalized results tailored to their symptoms.

Features include:
*Daily tracking of pain, sleep disturbance, fatigue, drowsiness, constipation, and cognitive functioning
*Optional daily tracking of neuropathic pain for patients with neuropathic pain (e.g., pain accompanied by burning, pins and needles, itching, or a sensitive or unpleasant sensation on the skin)
*Graphs that display pain levels and related symptoms over time
*Daily reminders to take medication/s
Reminders to switch between treatments throughout the personalized experiment

When visiting their doctor, patients discuss their results and use them to determine what treatments work best for them.

This App was developed by researchers from the University of California, Davis and University of California, San Francisco.
