An observational study in Referred Pain, Somatic Pain and Neuropathic Pain, sponsored by Aalborg University. Completed at 2 sites in Denmark. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 85 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-08-21.
Sponsored by Aalborg University · Observational
This feasibility study primarily aimed to assess the technology acceptance and usability of a pain tracking software in patients with spinally referred chronic pain. The secondary aim was to assess the fluctuations in pain intensity and distribution, using the pain tracking software during a 3-month period. Additionally, the study aimed to explore the patients' behavior when self-reporting pain when given the opportunity to use a variety of pain quality descriptors, such as tingling, burning and stabbing.
Patients with spinally referred chronic pain will be recruited to participate. Participants will be asked to use a pain tracking software to create weekly pain reports for a 3-month period. These pain reports consist of pain drawings and intensity scales. Additionally, patients will complete baseline disability and pain catastrophizing online questionnaires. The project does not affect treatment or does not offer any intervention.
1,287 studies on the registry are indexed under Neuralgia; 256 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 90 is close to the median of 100 across 260 observational studies indexed under Neuralgia.
