Accelerometer Based Objective Clinical Outcomes of Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) and Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)

April 20, 2017 updated by: Holy Cross Hospital, Florida
This study is a single site, prospective, observational trial utilizing a wrist-worn accelerometer to evaluate clinical outcomes of SCS and PNS in the treatment of chronic pain.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

Up to 150 evaluable subjects will be recruited at this site on an ongoing basis. Evaluable subjects are defined as subjects that complete the End of Study visit. Each subject will be assigned an accelerometer and have data recorded for a seven-day period pre-implant trial to collect baseline data. The accelerometer will also be worn during the trial for a period of up to seven (7) days. If the trial is successful and the subject is implanted, the subject will wear the accelerometer for a seven-day period at least six (6) weeks post-permanent implant. The following assessments will be administered to subjects at the baseline (pre-implant trial) visit, the end of implant trial visit and the end of study visit (8 weeks post-permanent implant): the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) 11-point scale for pain; the SF-36 Health Survey; the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Subjects treated for neck pain will also complete the Neck Disability Index (NDI). Additionally, the subjects will be asked to complete a subject diary to record average daily NRS scores for days the accelerometer is worn.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The subjects recruited for this study will be representative of the population of subjects with chronic pain and a candidate for SCS or PNS trial. Subjects recruited for this study must be 18 years of age or older. It is anticipated that approximately equal numbers of males and females will be recruited. No subjects will be excluded based upon his/her race or ethnicity.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Subjects enrolled in this study must meet the following criteria:

  1. Subject is 18 years of age or older
  2. Subject is a candidate for on label use of a SCS or PNS device
  3. Subject is ambulatory
  4. Subject is able to understand and willing to comply with study procedures and requirements
  5. Subject is able to provide informed consent to participate in the study

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects will be excluded from participation in this study if they meet any one of the following criteria:

  1. Subject has comorbidities that, in the judgment of the investigator, may confound the reliability of the information acquired in this study
  2. In the judgment of the investigator, the subject is not seeking an improvement in physical function as a treatment goal of SCS or PNS

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Assess whether there is an increase in objective measurements of physical function in subjects after treatment with an FDA-approved spinal cord stimulation device (SCS) or FDA-approved peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) device compared with pre-implant.
Time Frame: Pre-implant to 8 weeks post permanent implant
A subject is considered to have met the primary objective if there is a statistically significant (p value < .05) increase in physical function.
Pre-implant to 8 weeks post permanent implant

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.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Determine if an increase in physical function obtained from objective assessments of data recorded by the wrist-worn accelerometer in subjects correlate with an improvement in subjective assessments as measured by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS).
Time Frame: Pre-implant to 8 weeks post permanent implant
Pre-implant to 8 weeks post permanent implant
Determine if an increase in physical function obtained from objective assessments of data recorded by the wrist-worn accelerometer in subjects correlate with an improvement in subjective assessments as measured by the Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36).
Time Frame: Pre-implant to 8 weeks post permanent implant
Pre-implant to 8 weeks post permanent implant
Determine if an increase in physical function obtained from objective assessments of data recorded by the wrist-worn accelerometer in subjects correlate with an improvement in subjective assessments as measured by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).
Time Frame: Pre-implant to 8 weeks post permanent implant
Pre-implant to 8 weeks post permanent implant
Determine if an increase in physical function obtained from objective assessments of data recorded by the wrist-worn accelerometer in subjects correlate with an improvement in subjective assessments as measured by the Neck Disability Index (NDI).
Time Frame: Pre-implant to 8 weeks post permanent implant
Pre-implant to 8 weeks post permanent implant

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Evaluate the relationship between physical function and/or pain in subjects stratified into subgroups based on descriptive variables.
Time Frame: Pre-implant to 8 weeks post permanent implant
Pre-implant to 8 weeks post permanent implant
