ABM is a theory-driven intervention which uses computer-based paradigms, typically the visual-probe task, to implicitly manipulate attention away from sources of threat relevant to the individual's fears or concerns. To date, three published studies using ABM with chronic pain patients exist, the combined results of which support the therapeutic benefits of ABM on pain, pain-related distress and disability. Considering these encouraging results, it is important to expand this field of research and explore ABM in chronic pain in greater depth. In particular, all former studies assessed the clinical effectiveness of ABM in laboratory environments. The purpose of this double-blind RCT study is to determine whether internet-delivered ABM has therapeutic benefits for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain on pain and pain-related distress, thereby assessing training effects in real-world settings.
