Chronic Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
Exploring Non-pharmacological Approaches to Pain Management After Lumbar Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This study will compare the effectiveness of two pain management pathways (standard vs. enriched) for patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery in the Military Health System (MHS). Effectiveness will be based on post-surgery patient-centered outcomes and extent of opioid use. The study design is a 2-arm, parallel group, individual-randomized trial.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Other | Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-29 version 2.0 | The PROMIS-29 measures 7 domains of health-related quality of life (pain interference, physical function, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, fatigue, and ability to participate in social roles) using 4 items and includes a single 0-10 numeric pain intensity rating scale. Scores are provided as T-scores for all domains and can be used to compute a mental and physical health summary score | 6 months | |
Primary | Pain, Enjoyment, and General Activity Scale (PEG-3) | The PEG-3 measure includes 3 items evaluating 1) pain severity, and interference of pain with 2) enjoyment and 3) general activity. Response options for each item range from 0-10 with higher scores indicating higher pain intensity. The PEG-3 score is expressed as the mean of all item scores. | 6 Months | |
Secondary | Time to Discontinuation of Opioids After Surgery | The length of time (recorded in days) until a patient discontinues pain medications after surgery. | 6 Months |
