Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluate St Jude Medical Prodigy Neuromodulation for FBSS or Chronic Pain of the Trunk and/or Limbs (NCT NCT02143791)

NCT ID: NCT02143791

Last Updated: 2024-07-08

Results Overview

Percentage change in pain relief at the 3- month follow-up visit compared to baseline visit, as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS scale with a 10 cm (or 100 mm) line to indicate pain intensity progression with no pain (0) on the left end and worst pain (100) on the right end. Percent change is calculated as "\[(post baseline baseline)/baseline\] \*100%" with positive numbers to represent increases and negative numbers to represent decreases.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 months

Population: 92 patients completed 3 months, but 86 patients had Burst programs only and had available data for Baseline and the 3-month follow-up visit.

Percentage change in pain relief at the 3- month follow-up visit compared to baseline visit, as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS scale with a 10 cm (or 100 mm) line to indicate pain intensity progression with no pain (0) on the left end and worst pain (100) on the right end. Percent change is calculated as "\[(post baseline baseline)/baseline\] \*100%" with positive numbers to represent increases and negative numbers to represent decreases.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 Months

Population: 84 patients had available data at baseline and 12 months for pain catastrophizing

The pain catastrophizing scale (PCS) is a validated scale containing 13 items to assess thoughts and feelings about pain while a person is experiencing pain. The total of all 13 items results in a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 54; scores above 30 indicate clinically significant pain catastrophizing. The mean change was calculated based on the value at 12 months minus the value at baseline.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 Months

Population: 19 patients had data available for analgesic usage at baseline and 12 Months.

Patient reported analgesic usage during the 4 weeks preceding the 12-month follow-up visit, compared to the baseline visit. The amount of patients who decreased the dose are reported.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 12 Months

Population: 125 subjects had available data for the EQ-5D questionnaire at baseline and 85 at the 12 Months follow-up visit.

Subjects were provided with the Euroqol-5 dimensions (EQ-5D) questionnaire at baseline and 12 Months follow-up visit. In that questionnaire, subjects were asked to indicate a score for their health on a scale where 100 would mean 'the best state he/she can imagine' and 0 would be the 'worst state he/she can imagine).
