Abstrakt: The article discusses the feasibility of using daily text messages to measure pain in individuals with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) in clinical trials. The study, called THESEUS, sent daily text messages asking participants to rate their pain on a scale of 0-10. Out of 150 participants, 110 received at least one text message, and 18 participants requested to discontinue the messages. Response rates decreased over time, with 70% responding after 2 weeks and 20% responding after 12 weeks. Some participants found the text messages helpful, while others had concerns or stopped responding for various reasons. The study suggests that daily pain scoring may be feasible for short durations but should be avoided for long-term collection. [Extracted from the article]
