About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Spinal Cord Stimulation As Therapy for Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy: a Pilot Trial

This is an observational based pilot study evaluating the use of spinal cord stimulators for the treatment of chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy will lead to an increase in quality of life and decrease in pain.

Read the detailed description

Cancer treatment, for many patients, results in painful side effects. As evidence mounts demonstrating the risks associated with long term opioid therapy, non-opioid modalities need to be developed. Spinal cord stimulators are implanted devices that modulate the pain signaling system in the spinal cord. This research hopes to determine if the use of a spinal cord stimulator in patients with chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy will lead to an increase in quality of life and decrease in pain.The primary endpoints will be the number of patients who undergo permanent implantation. The endpoints will measure pain with the Brief Pain Inventory Short Form visual analog scale. The sleep quality will be measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Assessment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Permanent Spinal Cord Stimulator Implantation

    To determine the total number of patients who undergo permanent spinal cord stimulator implantation.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Subjective Pain Assessment: Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form

    Measure Pain with the Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form. The scale measures the severity of pain and the impact of pain on daily functions. The scale range includes 0-10 scales, with 0=no interference and 10=interferes completely. There is not a scoring algorithm, but "worst pain" or the average of the four severity items can be used as measures of pain severity; the average of the seven interference items can be used as a measure of pain interference.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Subjective Quality of Life Assessment: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Assessment

    Measure quality of life through the use of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Assessment. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index is a 19-item, self-rated questionnaire designed to measure sleep quality and disturbance over the past month in clinical populations.The 19 items are grouped into 7 components, including (1) sleep duration, (2) sleep disturbance, (3) sleep latency, (4) daytime dysfunction due to sleepiness, (5) sleep efficiency, (6) overall sleep quality, and (7) sleep medication use. Each of the sleep components yields a score ranging from 0 to 3, with 3 indicating the greatest dysfunction. The sleep component scores are summed to yield a total score ranging from 0 to 21 with the higher total score (global score) indicating worse sleep quality.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy, run by Prisma Health-Upstate 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 1 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 24 Sep 2024. 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?

Permanent Spinal Cord Stimulator Implantation (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT03764514, 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 24 Sep 2024.
