Qualitative Study for Pain Measurement Using Innovative Health Technology

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The present study is a multicenter, explorative, qualitative study. The primary endpoint of this study is to evaluate to which extent the collection of data with regard to pain caused by illness or treatment can be optimized using health technology solutions. For this evaluation semi-structured qualitative interviews with 8-10 patients will be conducted.

Secondary variables are the evaluation of the patients' pain experience and the general patients' willingness to collect data with regard to pain by using technological devices themselves or with support of healthcare professionals.

Clinical Trial Description

The present multicenter study is an explorative, qualitative study. It shall be evaluated from the patients' point of view if and how the collection of data with regard to pain, caused by illness or treatment, can be optimized using health technology solutions. A health technology solution could for example be an app for registering the intensity and localization of pain. The aim of this study is to examine, if such a solution would be accepted by patients with acute or chronic pain and how a fitting solution should be designed to meet the patients' requirements. Existing methods for pain measurement as well as possibilities for the development of new methods will be examined and evaluated during the interviews.

To arguable this issue the interviews comprise different topics like:

- the patients pain experience in everyday life, e.g. how the patients cope with pain in everyday life and how and if this is documented;

- experiences with and the thought of regular pain recording;

- an evaluation if patients tend to be willing to record their pain using technological devices by themselves or rather with support of healthcare professionals.

It is the aim to use the results of this study for the development of a new and improved version of pain registration. The results of the study will be summarized in a report and handed over to a startup company. Thereupon the startup company has the possibility to develop a technological solution that represents the patients' need at its best. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
