The award funds a project to culturally tailor a mobile cognitive behavioral therapy program combined with transcranial direct current stimulation to treat chronic pain in adolescent survivors of pediatric bone sarcoma, focusing on racial/ethnic disparities and social determinants of health.
Description
This study will evaluate the impact of culturally adapted mobile cognitive behavioral therapy and transcranial direct current stimulation on pain intensity and functional disability in a racially/ethnically and geographically diverse sample of adolescent survivors of bone sarcoma with chronic pain. Results will inform standard of care for survivors of childhood cancer, as few efficacious, non-pharmacologic interventions are available and accessible, particularly for underserved survivors.
