To determine whether participation in a cognitive training program over a training period of
five weeks improves cognitive flexibility in patients with chronic hip, knee, and back pain.
five weeks improves cognitive flexibility in patients with chronic hip, knee, and back pain.
This project is a single-center prospective, randomized study to assess whether cognitive
flexibility can be improved through training on a Lumosity®-based training module over the
course a five week timeframe in patients with chronic hip, knee, and back pain; and whether
changes in cognitive flexibility will correlate with perceived pain scores.
