数字疗法在慢性疼痛诊疗中的应用进展

Recent Advances of Digital Therapeutics in Treatment of Chronic Pain

慢性疼痛具有发病率高、迁延难愈的特点,不仅严重困扰着患者,其临床治疗亦面临巨大挑战。数字疗法(digital therapeutics, DTx)是一种由软件程序驱动,以循证医学证据为基础的新兴治疗方法,可基于数字化网络为患者提供个体化疾病管理策略,在提高治疗依从性的同时,为临床收集相关数据提供了诸多便利,为慢性疼痛的治疗提供了新思路和发展方向。本文围绕DTx在慢性疼痛诊疗中的应用进展作一综述,以期为临床进行慢性疼痛管理提供借鉴。

Chronic pain is characterized by a high incidence and persistent, challenging recovery. It not only significantly troubles patients but also poses substantial challenges for clinical treatment. Digital therapeutics(DTx), an emerging evidence-based therapeutic approach by software programs, provides individualized disease management strategies for patients through digital networks. DTx enhances treatment adherence and facilitates data collection, which can be used as a monotherapy or in combination with other therapies. This review aims to summarize the progress of DTx application in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic pain, with the goal of providing valuable insights for the clinical management of chronic pain.
