Our goal is to offer a scientifically validated, gamified, and multimodal pain therapy based on proven effectiveness. The therapeutic components are based on interventions whose effectiveness has been scientifically proven and are recommended in treatment guidelines for nonspecific back pain. Initial studies demonstrate both the feasibility of the approach and a significant reduction in pain (see paper).<\/p>
