Summary
This trial tests a mobile app called SupportGroove designed for people with spinal cord injuries and their romantic partners. The app provides activities to help improve their emotional and mental well-being. Participants will be evaluated periodically to measure the program's effectiveness.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for couples where one partner has a spinal cord injury that happened at least 3 months ago. Both partners must live together, be able to read English, and have access to a smartphone or computer with internet.
What is being tested?
The study is testing SupportGroove, an 8-week mobile app program designed to help couples manage the challenges of living with a spinal cord injury.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves using an mHealth app rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected; however, participants may experience emotional or psychological responses.

Other Research
Common treatments for Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) include pharmacologic therapies, physical rehabilitation, and psychosocial support. Pharmacologic treatments often target neuroreceptors and ion channels to manage pain and spasticity, while physical rehabilitation focuses on improving motor function and mobility through exercises and neuromodulation techniques.
Psychosocial support, such as the SupportGroove Mobile Application, provides resources and coping strategies for patients and their partners, addressing the emotional and social challenges of living with SCI. These treatments are crucial as they collectively aim to enhance the quality of life, functional independence, and emotional well-being of SCI patients.
