A Novel Electronic Method of Collecting Pain Scores in the Emergency Department (PIMPERNEL)

29 gennaio 2020 aggiornato da: University of Leicester

Patient Input Monitoring of Pain in the Emergency Room: Novel Electronic Log (PIMPERNEL). A Randomised Controlled Trial of an Electronic Pain Score Display in Adults in the Emergency Department

Can a novel electronic display of pain be successfully used in the emergency department and does it (1) change analgesic prescription and (2) change amount of pain experienced? Pain is a common symptom in emergency care. As patients are seldom reassessed, staff may not be aware of pain. Currently, members of nursing or medical staff need to ask patients about their pain and record it manually using a visual analogue scale from 0-10.

The new electronic display uses buttons to represent a pain scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). Patients will select the number that best corresponds to their pain every 15 minutes. In the experimental group, the score will be displayed on a screen. In the control group, the score will not be displayed. The investigators will compare the overall amount of pain in both groups, and will look at their pain management (painkillers prescribed). The investigators will also ask patients and staff for their opinions on the display.

The study will include adult patients in the emergency department at Leicester Royal Infirmary with an initial pain score of 5 or more who are able to make a decision about whether to participate. Participants will also need to be likely to stay in the hospital for more than 2 hours to allow the investigators to gather enough useful data. The study will recruit 200 participants. If the study can demonstrate that the monitor is acceptable to patients and staff and results in improved pain management, it is a low cost intervention which could be widely implemented within the NHS. It also has the potential for being used in other areas such as surgical wards. The investigators have previously found that 300-400 patients per week in the department have moderate to severe pain and might therefore benefit from this monitor.

Armi e interventi

Gruppo di partecipanti / Arm
Intervento / Trattamento
Sperimentale: PIMPERNEL Novel Electronic Log - intervention

The display is an electronic version of the 11 point NRS. An audible 'beep' every 15 minutes prompts the patient to record their pain level.

The display measures 122mm x 30mm x 15mm. Through a wireless connection, the data from the display are transmitted to a display unit (a Nexus tablet).
Altro: PIMPERNEL Novel Electronic Log: Pain display can be seen
Pain scores are displayed on the screen when the participant presses the corresponding button
Altro: PIMPERNEL Novel Electronic Log - control

Altro: PIMPERNEL Novel Electronic Log: Pain display is hidden
Participants press the buttons to record their pain score but the score is not on display (the screen is turned backwards).

Cosa sta misurando lo studio?

Misure di risultato primarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Pain reported by the patient:11 point numerical pain scale
Lasso di tempo: Up to 6 hours
Data collected from the display using the 11 point numerical pain scale. The area under the curve will be compared between the intervention and control groups. The Numerical Rating Scale is a scale from 0-10 (whole numbers only, where 0 represents 'no pain' and 10 represents 'worst pain ever').
Up to 6 hours

Misure di risultato secondarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Proportion of possible scores recorded by patients
Lasso di tempo: Up to 6 hours
Up to 6 hours
Comparison of pain recorded on the display (closest minute) with verbal pain assessment at 2 and 4 hours
Lasso di tempo: Up to 6 hours
The scores recorded by the participants at 2 and 4 hours into their hospital stay will be compared with the scores recorded by nursing staff in the electronic record. The 11 point numerical rating scale is used for both measurements. The Numerical Rating Scale is a scale from 0-10 (whole numbers only, where 0 represents 'no pain' and 10 represents 'worst pain ever').
Up to 6 hours
Understanding the pattern of pain (shape of the curve of pain scores) over the time of the ED stay
Lasso di tempo: Up to 6 hours
Up to 6 hours
Recording time to second dose of analgesia and whether there is a pattern to this
Lasso di tempo: Up to 6 hours
Up to 6 hours
Use of analgesia in intervention and control groups (dose, time prescribed, time administered and name)
Lasso di tempo: Up to 6 hours
The dose, time prescribed, time administered and name of analgesia given pre-hospital and whilst in hospital will be recorded and a comparison made between the groups. This is a feasibility study only so exact outcome depends upon what data can be collected.
Up to 6 hours
Opinion of patients
Lasso di tempo: Up to 6 hours

Uses a short (4 question) questionnaire designed for this study. Questions on ease of use, whether the monitor is a good idea, whether participants would use it again in the future and whether it improved their experience as a patient, plus a comments box.

Questions: 1) How easy was it to use the pain monitor? (very easy, easy, no opinion, difficult, very difficult) 2) I think that the pain monitor is a good idea (strongly agree, agree, no opinion, disagree, strongly disagree) 3) I would use the monitor again in the future (strongly agree, agree, no opinion, disagree, strongly disagree) 4) The pain monitor improved my experience as a patient (strongly agree, agree, no opinion, disagree, strongly disagree)
Up to 6 hours
Opinion of staff (including their opinion of whether patients press the button for reasons other than pain)
Lasso di tempo: Up to 6 hours

Short (4 question) questionnaire designed for the study. Questions on whether the display is practical to use in the Emergency Department, whether they think it is a good idea, whether it is likely to improve the patient experience and whether a patient used the display to get their attention for a reason other than pain. Also has a comments box.
