Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the efficacy of cognitive bias modification for interpretation (CBM-I) in people with Type 2 Diabetes and persistent pain. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer is whether interpretation bias training away from pain improves pain outcomes. Participants in the CBM-I group will complete 4 online training sessions approximately half an hour each. Each session will present participants with ambiguous scenarios which may be pain-related, however the final word of the sentence will resolve the scenario as benign (thus training participants to make benign interpretations). A measure of interpretation bias will be administered following the fourth training session, and pain severity and interference will be measured at baseline, post-training, two week follow up, and three month follow up. The study hypothesises that participants in the CBM-I group will demonstrate a greater reduction in the co-primary outcomes of pain severity and pain interference over time compared to those in the placebo control.
