An Exploration of the Relationship Between Chronic Pain & Suicide Attempt

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between attempted and/or completed suicide and reported experience of chronic pain among an adult veteran population. Specific aims include a) examining the experience of chronic pain between patients who have either attempted and/or completed suicide, non-suicide attempt mental health patients, and non-mental health chronic pain patients and b) determining possible differences in reported experiences of chronic pain based on mental and physical diagnoses, age, gender, ethnicity, occupation, and patient's recorded perceptions of depression and/or quality of life. As articulated in the Amendment approved on June 13, 2008, additional areas of interest include histories of neurological disease (e.g. traumatic brain injury) and/or mental health diagnoses. History of both neurologic disease and mental health diagnoses will also be identified by chart review (per approval obtained June 13, 2008). As such this study will also compare differences (e.g., mental health, neurological disease) between veterans who have history of a suicide attempt, completion, or a lifetime history of suicidality and matched control veterans without a history of suicide attempts, completions, or lifetime history of suicide. The relationship between suicidal behavior, attempted/completed suicide, and reported Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms among an adult veteran population is also of interest. Additionally, this data set will be used to complete a validation study regarding the Self-Directed Violence Classification System (SDVCS). Specifically, relevant information in subject chart notes regarding self-directed violence (SDV) will be used to categorize thoughts and behaviors according to the SDVCS.

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.
