This is an observational study where you'll use a smartphone app called SOMA to track your pain, mood, and daily activities over time. Researchers want to understand how pain fluctuates day to day, how emotions affect pain, and what warning signs might predict when acute pain could become long-term chronic pain. By analyzing patterns across many people, they hope to identify early indicators that could help prevent acute pain from developing into chronic pain.
Pain and emotions are deeply connected—what you're feeling emotionally can significantly influence how much pain you experience. Some people recover from acute pain quickly, while others transition into chronic pain, but doctors don't yet have clear ways to predict or prevent this transition. This study aims to identify the patterns and warning signs that might help catch this shift early.

You'll download and use the SOMA app on your own smartphone to record your pain intensity, how pain affects your daily life, your mood, and what activities you're doing—typically taking just a few minutes each day. The study lasts about four months, and you'll do this tracking from home at your own pace. Some participants may also be invited to come in for an additional brain imaging test (EEG) if they have specific pain conditions like fibromyalgia or chronic low back pain.
