Mehling, Wolf's dataset from a single-arm feasibility study assesses a smartphone-based interoceptive attention training for chronic low back pain patients. The study collected data from May 21, 2021 to May 21, 2023, using mixed methods including questionnaires, ecological momentary assessment, and exit interviews. It enrolled English-speaking adults aged 18-65 from the San Francisco Bay area with chronic low back pain and low interoceptive awareness.
Use Cases
- Analyze feasibility and acceptability of a digital mindfulness intervention based on mixed-methods data collection.
- Study changes in pain, function, and psychological parameters over an 8-week period based on pre/post assessments.
- Investigate the relationship between interoceptive awareness and pain coping styles based on MAIA-2 scale criteria.
- Evaluate patient engagement with a smartphone app based on ecological momentary assessment entries.
Strengths
- Mixed-methods data collection includes standard questionnaires, ecological momentary assessment, and qualitative exit interviews.
- Study population is clearly defined with specific inclusion criteria: chronic low back pain for at least half the days in the past 6 months, average pain ≥3/10, and low MAIA scores.
- Data collection spanned a defined period from May 21, 2021 to May 21, 2023.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- The study is a single-arm feasibility study, which likely lacks a control group for comparison.
