New real-world data from Swing Care, a comprehensive virtual clinic for fibromyalgia treatment, was presented this week at the U.S. Association for the Study of Pain (USASP) meeting. In the latest evaluation of Swing Care’s clinical model, the study demonstrated that patients experienced clinically meaningful relief that continues for a full year.
Following up on earlier 3- and 6-month data, the new outcomes examined the progress of 275 patients over 12 months who received a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan through Swing Care. This approach combines non-opioid medication management with behavioral therapy including Stanza, an FDA-cleared digital program delivering Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Key Outcomes:
- Overall Well-Being: At the one-year mark, 88.0% of patients reported improvement in overall wellbeing (PGIC), with over half (50.2%) stating they felt “much improved” or better.
- Pain Relief: Patients saw sustained improvements in pain intensity and pain interference.
- Mental Health Improvements: The percentage of patients experiencing moderate to severe symptoms of depression decreased by month 12.
“While short-term improvements are encouraging, the chronic nature of fibromyalgia requires management strategies that work over the long haul,” said Dr. Andrea Chadwick, Swing Care Medical Director and Director of the Fibromyalgia and Centralized Pain Exploration Lab at the University of Kansas Medical Center. “By integrating medical expertise with accessible digital tools, Swing Care is proving that long-term relief is possible.”
