Study Details

Chronic pain is a prevalent and debilitating condition among Veterans, often accompanied by depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and social isolation. Despite the availability of behavioral interventions many Veterans-particularly those with high in-person healthcare utilization-face barriers to accessing non-pharmacological pain management strategies. These barriers include limited clinician availability, geographic constraints, and digital exclusion among older or underserved populations. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of My AI Companion, an automated, text/telephone-delivered chatbot designed to support chronic pain self-management among high-utilizing Veterans. The intervention offers a low-barrier approach to promoting symptom tracking, patient activation, and engagement in coping strategies-without requiring Internet access or clinician time.
