Background: Daily diaries are a useful way of measuring fluctuations in pain-related
symptoms. Although this approach entails a repeated assessment, traditional diaries do
not assure the gathering of data in real-time, and therefore do not solve the problem of
retrospective assessment. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and, more
concretely, real-time data capture (RTDC) by means of electronic diaries can help to
improve repeated assessment in chronic pain.
Method: The present work contributes to this line of research by comparing the
accuracy and acceptability of an RTDC method running on a smartphone using a
crossover design for a sample with a low level of education and low familiarity with
technology. Forty-seven women diagnosed with fibromyalgia were randomly assigned
to one of two conditions: 1) paper diary – smartphone diary, and 2) smartphone diary –
paper diary, using each assessment method for one week.
Results: The findings of this study showed that the smartphone diary made it possible
to gather more accurate and complete ratings of relevant variables. Besides, this method
was well accepted by a sample of fibromyalgia patients referred by a public hospital
with a large proportion of participants with low level of education and low familiarity
with technology.
Conclusion: The findings of this study support the use of smartphones for ecological
momentary assessment in the field of chronic pain. These methods could help clinicians
and researchers to gather more accurate ratings of relevant pain-related variables even in
populations with low educational levels and low familiarity with technology. [-]
