Treatment of Shoulder Osteoarthritis

February 24, 2023 updated by: Gramercy Pain Center

A Post Market Observational Case Series Study of Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) for the Treatment of Chronic Shoulder Pain

The purpose of this study is to learn if pain can be relieved by delivering small amounts of electricity ("electrical stimulation") to the nerves relaying sensory information to the shoulder. This study will use a device called Sprint PNS system. PNS stands for Peripheral Nerve Stimulation. This device is cleared by the FDA for up to 60 days of use for relief of chronic or acute pain.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

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.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

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

21 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Description

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosed with degenerative changes within the shoulder complex

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pain exclusively in the anterior aspect of the shoulder
  • Opioids for any condition other than shoulder pain
  • Other implanted electronic device

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
PNS Group
All subjects will receive the PNS device. The Sprint system delivers mild electrical stimulation to the shoulder. The Sprint system includes up to two leads (small wires) that are placed through your skin in your shoulder. The leads attach to devices worn on your body that delivers stimulation (stimulators).
Device: SPRINT PNS
Each subject will have 2 leads placed for 60 days. The Sprint system delivers mild electrical stimulation to the shoulder. The Sprint system includes up to two leads (small wires) that are placed through your skin in your shoulder. The leads attach to devices worn on your body that delivers stimulation (stimulators).

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
Reduction in average pain and/or reduction in pain interference
Time Frame: 15 days, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post Start of Treatment
Average pain intensity is measured using the PROMIS-29 v2.0 profile. The measure assesses pain intensity using a single 0-10 numeric rating scale. Average pain interference is measured using Brief Pain Inventory--Short Form Question #9 (BPI-9). BPI-9 uses a 0-10 numeric rating scale across seven health domains (physical function, fatigue, pain interference, depressive symptoms, anxiety, ability to participate in social roles and activities, and sleep disturbance.)
15 days, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post Start of Treatment

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Changes in pain intensity
Time Frame: baseline, start of treatment (lead placement); 15 days, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post Start of Treatment
Changes in pain intensity will be assessed using the PROMIS-29 v2.0 profile. The measure assesses pain intensity using a single 0-10 numeric rating scale.
baseline, start of treatment (lead placement); 15 days, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post Start of Treatment
Changes in pain interference
Time Frame: baseline, start of treatment (lead placement); 15 days, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post Start of Treatment
Changes in average pain interference are measured using Brief Pain Inventory--Short Form Question #9. The measure assesses pain interference using a 0-10 numeric rating scale across seven health domains (physical function, fatigue, pain interference, depressive symptoms, anxiety, ability to participate in social roles and activities, and sleep disturbance.)
baseline, start of treatment (lead placement); 15 days, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post Start of Treatment
Range of motion of the shoulder
Time Frame: baseline, start of treatment (lead placement); 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post Start of Treatment
Shoulder range of motion is measured as degrees of active range of motion based on physical examination.
baseline, start of treatment (lead placement); 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post Start of Treatment
Changes in Shoulder Function
Time Frame: baseline, start of treatment (lead placement); 15 days, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post Start of Treatment
Shoulder function is measured using the Western Ontario Arthritis of the Shoulder (WOOS) index. The WOOS index is a patient-reported, disease-specific questionnaire for the measurement of the quality-of-life in patients with osteoarthritis.
baseline, start of treatment (lead placement); 15 days, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post Start of Treatment

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date.
