The study aims to test a mobile intervention on values and goals in chronic pain patients. The cognitive behavioral intervention is a 10-day course in which participants complete a brief intervention each day (about 10-20 minutes a day). The content of the intervention includes the definition of values; development of individualized values and personal value-oriented goals; and implementation of personal goals in every day life. To assess the effectiveness of the intervention, we use a multiple baseline single case design. Baseline measurements will be assessed daily between 10 and 17 days (the exact number will be randomized). Daily measurements will continue during the intervention. After the intervention, another post measurement will be collected.

| Mobile intervention on values and goals in patients with chronic pain. | Behavioral | The protocol consists of 10 daily sessions, 10-20 Minutes each. After each session participants will complete daily measures. Participants will learn about values and a values based life. Further they will identify their own values and are encouraged to set a goal to pursue those values. Based on this, barriers to achieving goals are explained and a corresponding commitment will be made. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Pain intensity | Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) Minimum value: 0; Maximum value: 10 (higher scores indicate higher pain intensity) | Pain intensity is assessed daily from baseline to the end of treatment (resulting in 20-27 measuring time points) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in psychological well-being | The five-item WHO Well-Being Index (WHO-5) Minimum value: 0; Maximum value 10 (range is adapted for the study; higher scores indicate higher psychological well-being) | Psychological well-being is assessed daily from baseline to the end of treatment (resulting in 20-27 measuring time points) |
