Arthritis Pain Reduction in Older Adults

The goal of this clinical trial is to test using a pain and anxiety reduction phone application in older adults with knee osteoarthritis and chronic pain. The main questions it seeks to answer are:

1. How acceptable is using a phone app in older adults with knee osteoarthritis and chronic pain to lower pain, pain stress and reduce fear of movement? 2. What are the effects of combining biofeedback with a virtual reality nature scene and paced breath training to increase heart rate variability on pain and anxiety among older adults with knee osteoarthritis? 3. What is the role of self-regulation and body awareness in predicting or strengthening the effect of combining virtual reality, heart rate variability biofeedback in older adults with knee osteoarthritis?.

Participants will be asked to:

1. use a phone application for 7-10 minute sessions twice daily 5 days a week for 8 weeks. 2. receive relaxation reminders weeks 9 through 12 to see if use continues past the intervention phase. 3. complete surveys describing pain, physical activity, fear of movement, body awareness and self-regulation, pain stress pre/post the app use. 4. complete a survey and interview after 8 weeks of phone app use to describe the experience of its use.
