Study population: Patients who had unsatisfactory treatment with previous medication (severe pain: NRS = 7) and no experience with fentanyl matrix will be eligible

Who may be able to join

  • Patients who complain of spinal disorder-related chronic pain persisting for 3 months or longer
  • Patients who can fully observe the overall clinical study requirements including K-ODI completion at the investigator's discretion

About this study

Official title: Impact of Fentanyl Matrix on Improvement of Pain and Functioning in Spinal Disorder-related Pain: Multicenter, Open Label, Prospective, Observational Study

The purpose of this observational study is to investigate the impact of fentanyl matrix on improvement of pain and functioning in spinal disorder-related chronic pain.

Read the detailed description

This study is a prospective, open-label, non-interventional study. The objective of the study is to investigate the impact of fentanyl matrix on improvement of pain and functioning after 8-week treatment of fentanyl matrix in the patients who complained of spinal disorder-related chronic pain in clinical practice according to the investigator's discretion. The primary endpoint is a percent of pain intensity difference between baseline and week 8 of the study. Each patients will evaluate their pain intensity every 28 days during the 8 weeks. The secondary objectives are to observe the change in the following variables after administrating fentanyl matrix; K-ODI (Korean version - Oswestry Disability Index) score, sleep disturbance, disturbance of activities of daily living and disturbance of social activities. In addition, Investigator and patient global assessment, patient preference, CGI-I (Clinical Global Impression - Improvement) and Adverse Events will be investigated. LDK: Lumbar degenerative kyphosis, CRPS: Complex Regional Pain SYndrome, FBSS: Failed Back Surgery Syndrome Observational Study - No investigational drug administered

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Low Back Pain, run by Janssen Korea, Ltd., Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pain intensity with Numeric Rating Scale (time frame: baseline, week 4 and week 8). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Apr 2014.
