To determine whether participation in a cognitive training program over a training period of five weeks improves cognitive flexibility in patients with chronic hip, knee, and back pain.
This project is a single-center prospective, randomized study to assess whether cognitive flexibility can be improved through training on a Lumosity®-based training module over the course a five week timeframe in patients with chronic hip, knee, and back pain; and whether changes in cognitive flexibility will correlate with perceived pain scores.

Does cognitive training over five weeks improve cognitive flexibility performance scores in chronic hip, knee, and back pain patients?
The primary outcome, i.e. NCPT score, will be assessed before and after five weeks of cognitive training. T-test will be used to compare the change in NCPT score between the training and the control group.
