Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Patients with neuromodulation systems implanted for either movement disorders or chronic pain and who require programming of their systems will be approached to enter the study. Those who consent will be consecutively assigned to either the normal standard of care (i.e. programming of their systems with an experienced clinician) or programming of their systems with an inexperienced programmer (nurse) who will be directed by the experienced programmer via the remote presence robot. Both the nurses and the patients will complete questionnaires rating their satisfaction of the programming experience.
They will each only receive one questionnaire at the end of the programming session. There is no other test point.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: programming with non-experienced nurse
Programming done by an experienced neuromodulation clinician will be compared to the patient satisfaction of a programming session with an inexperienced nurse via remote presence robotics, which will be directed by the experienced clinician

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Patient Satisfaction
Time Frame: Patients will complete the questionnaire once following the neuromodulation therapy. Day 1
|
The questionnaire will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
There are no other follow-ups required.
This is the only study time commitment for the patients above the usual standard of care.
|
Patients will complete the questionnaire once following the neuromodulation therapy. Day 1

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Nursing satisfaction questionnaire
Time Frame: Immediately following the neuromodulation session, the nurse will complete one questionnnaire. Day 1.
|
The questionnaire will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
The time commitment from the nurse programmer will be approximately 45 minutes.
There are no other test points nor follow up visits.
|
Immediately following the neuromodulation session, the nurse will complete one questionnnaire. Day 1.
