Mobile Educations Effect on Pain Outcomes

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Total Joint Arthroplasty; Pain, Postoperative

• Registration Number: NCT03301610
• Lead Sponsor: Mayo Clinic

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the clinical impact of pain management education using a mobile web-based education delivery system compared to standard education delivery. This study seeks to understand the difference between two different education delivery methodologies and the effect on the postoperative pain experience, including participation in treatment plan, knowledge, pain outcomes, and opioid requirements in patients undergoing major hip (THA) and knee (TKA) arthroplasty. It is hypothesized that a real-time, interactive, mobile education system will demonstrate improved pain associated outcomes and higher patient participation when compared to the current standard education delivery method.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Difference in self-reported pain scores	Post-intervention, at the time of discharge from the hospital (between 1 and 5 days post-surgery)	Scores are measured using a 10 point (Lickert) pain rating scale. The scale ranges from 0 to 10 with the lower score indicating less pain and the higher score indicating greater pain.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Difference in self-reported participation in pain management	Post-intervention, at the time of discharge from the hospital (between 1 and 5 days post-surgery)	Scores are measured using a 10 point Lickert scale measuring patients perception of participation in pain management/treatment decisions. The scale ranges from 0 to 10 with the lower score indicating less perceived participation and the higher score indicating greater perceived participation.
Difference in post-operative opioid requirements	Post-intervention, at the time of discharge from the hospital (between 1 and 5 days post-surgery)	Total opioid requirements, converted to morphine milligram equivalents
Difference in usefulness of education	Post-intervention, at the time of discharge from the hospital (between 1 and 5 days post-surgery)	Scores are measured using a 10 point Lickert rating scale. The scale ranges from 0 to 10 with the lower score indicating lower perceived usefulness and the higher score indicating greater perceived usefulness.
Change in pain management knowledge	Pre-intervention (between 1 and 5 days before surgical procedure) and post-intervention, at the time of discharge from the hospital (between 1 and 5 days post-surgery)	Scores are measured using a modified Patient Pain Questionnaire; 9 knowledge based questions use a ten-point (0-10) ordinal scale to assess patients' agreement or disagreement with specific statements. All items have been formatted so that zero indicates the most positive outcome and a ten indicates the most negative outcome.
Difference in use of non-pharmacologic pain modalities	Post-intervention, at the time of discharge from the hospital (between 1 and 5 days post-surgery)	Results are tabulated for a descriptive selection list for patients to report what interventions were used.
