About this study

This is a prospective descriptive correlational design looking to characterize postoperative pain variables across various procedures that historically have significant levels of persistent post-surgical pain

Read the detailed description

This is a two institution (Naval Medical Center San Diego and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center) prospective descriptive correlational design looking to characterize postoperative pain variables across various procedures that historically have significant levels of persistent post-surgical pain.

A total goal of 1500 subjects (750 subjects at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and 750 subjects at Naval Medical Center San Diego) will be queried regarding their postoperative pain experience following mastectomy, thoracic surgery, total knee arthroplasty, total hip arthroplasty, spinal fusion, and major abdominal surgery. Descriptive multidimensional tools (the Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale (DVPRS) and the electronic Pain Assessment Screening Tool and Outcomes Registry (PASTOR) will be used preoperatively, as an inpatient, and up to 6 months postoperatively.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. DVPRS

    To determine how predictive PASTOR/PROMIS measures are for moderate to severe acute postoperative pain as measured by the DVPRS within the first 48 hours postoperatively for all surgical groups and between surgical groups.

    Measured: perioperatively to 6 months

  2. PASTOR/PROMIS

    To assess any predictive/correlative capability of early postoperative PASTOR/PROMIS measures (7 days,14 days, and 1 month postoperatively) in the prediction of persistent pain at 3 and 6 months for all surgical groups and between surgical groups

    Measured: perioperatively to 6 months

  3. Pain phenotypes

    To describe various pain phenotypes via multidimensional pain measures throughout the subacute (7 days to 6 months) perioperative period. This description will focus on certain time points but also how such measures change over time (ie pain trajectories)

    Measured: perioperatively to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pain, Postoperative, run by Defense and Veterans Center for Integrative Pain Management at 1 site in United States.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 25 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

DVPRS (time frame: perioperatively to 6 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03081299, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Mar 2021.
