Self-Guided Online Cognitive Behavioral Strategies for Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (SONICS)

October 10, 2017 updated by: Robert Knoerl, University of Michigan
The purpose of this pilot randomized wait-list controlled trial is to test the efficacy of an online cognitive behavioral pain management website called Proactive Self-Management Program for Effects of Cancer Treatment (PROPSECT) to reduce worst pain intensity for individuals with chronic painful chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) and to explore the mediating effect of PROSPECT-induced changes in anxiety, fatigue, depression, and sleep disturbance on worst pain intensity. Another aim of this study is to determine whether PROSPECT will decrease CIPN symptom severity (e.g. non-painful numbness and tingling), average pain severity, and physical impairment. Lastly, since this intervention has never been tested in individuals with painful CIPN, the investigators will assess patients' perceptions of acceptability and satisfaction with the intervention.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure

Time Frame
Change in 0 - 10 Numerical Rating Scale of Worst Pain Intensity Scores at 8 Weeks
Time Frame: Baseline to 8 weeks
Pain is measured on the numerical rating scale of 0 - 10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is worst imaginable pain.
Baseline to 8 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
