Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out if using an app is a feasible and acceptable treatment for chronic pain in persons with spinal cord injury. Participants will have a 50% chance of being asked to listen to 10 minutes of audio-guided meditations using an app each day for six weeks, and a 50% chance of being asked to listen to 10 minutes of engaging and distracting presentations about topics of interest to the individual (TED Talks) for six weeks. All participants will be asked to complete three online surveys about their emotional and physical health lasting 20-30 minutes (one when the participant first enters the study, one six weeks later, and another six weeks later). Additionally, participants will be asked to complete brief (\<5 minute) online surveys once a week during the first six weeks of their participation. Participation in this study is very low risk, and participants may not experience any personal benefit from their participation. Participation in this study is entirely voluntary.
