Individuals living with chronic pain and physical disabilities often face significant challenges to their well-being. This study investigates the potential of a tailored positive psychology intervention to improve pain management and overall quality of life for individuals with chronic pain and physical disabilities. The researchers conducted a feasibility trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a computer-based intervention focused on positive psychology exercises.

This positive impact underscores the importance of addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of chronic pain and disability.
