This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers at Hong Kong Polytechnic University are developing a web-based pain management program called GAP that combines gaming elements with non-medication pain relief strategies like education, gentle exercise, and relaxation techniques. The goal is to make pain management more engaging and motivating for older adults who live in the community and have chronic pain. You would help shape the program by providing feedback on the materials, exercises, and game-like features as they are being built.
Many older adults with chronic pain avoid taking medication because of concerns about side effects, and they often think pain is just a normal part of aging. This trial exists to create an engaging, non-drug alternative that encourages people to participate in proven pain relief methods like stretching, education, and relaxation.
You would join the research team in developing this pain management program from the ground up. Over the course of the study, you would attend biweekly meetings with the researchers to review and give feedback on pain education materials, exercise videos, and the game-like features being added to the program. Your input would directly shape how the final program works and feels, making sure it meets the real needs of older adults like you.
