Effectiveness and Safety of Implantable Neurostimulation Systems for Chronic Pain: A Spanish Multicenter Study (STIM-RENASED)

Recruiting
Conditions
Chronic Pain
Registration Number
NCT05770700
Lead Sponsor
Sociedad Espanola del Dolor
Brief Summary

Chronic pain is a prevalent condition that negatively affects patients' quality of life. Implantable neurostimulation therapies have been proposed as a treatment option for chronic pain. However, real-world data on the effectiveness and safety of these therapies in Spain are scarce. This study aims to obtain real-world data on the effectiveness and safety of implantable stimulation systems for chronic pain treatment in Spain.

Detailed Description

All Spanish hospitals that implant neurostimulation systems for pain treatment will be invited to participate in the study. Patients will be recruited before the procedure, and before providing data to the registry, the study will be explained to them, and they will sign an informed consent form. Demographic data related to the pathology and procedure will be collected. Follow-up will be conducted at six and twelve months after the procedure.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of patients with at least 50 % pain relief in the area of their predominant pain at one year.Twelve months

Percentage of patients who experience a reduction of at least 50% in the intensity of their predominant pain compared to the initial value, assessed twelve months after the implantation of the neurostimulation system. Pain intensity will be measured using an 11-point Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), with a range from 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximum pain possible)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient SatisfactionSix and twelve months

Percentage of implanted subjects satisfied with the treatment at six and twelve months after the implantation of the neurostimulation system. defined as indicating: "since the start of the therapy has the pain improved? yes/no", "Are you satisfied with the treatment?" yes/no or "would you agree to the treatment again?" yes/no

Compared change from baseline on health-related quality of life scores (EQ Index)Six and twelve months

The impact of the treatment on the patient's health-related quality of life will be evaluated using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire at six and twelve months after implantation. The EQ-5D-5L assesses quality of life across five domains: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each domain is scored on a scale of 1 (no problems) to 5 (extreme problems), generating a 5-digit code that corresponds to the patient's health status.

Patient Global Impression of ImprovementSix and twelve months

Assessment of clinical global impression of improvement using the PGI-I scale at six and twelve months after implantation of the neurostimulation system. The PGI-I score ranges from 1 (Very much better) through to 7 (Very much worse). The lower the score, the better the improvement.

Percentage of patients with at least 50 % pain relief in the area of their predominant pain at six months.Six months

Percentage of patients who experience a reduction of at least 50% in the intensity of their predominant pain compared to the initial value, assessed six months after the implantation of the neurostimulation system. Pain intensity will be measured using an 11-point Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), with a range from 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximum pain possible)

Percentage of patients with at least 50 % pain relief in the area of their non-predominant pain at one year.Six and twelve months

Percentage of patients who experience a reduction of at least 50% in the intensity of their non-predominant pain compared to the initial value, assessed six and twelve months after the implantation of the neurostimulation system. Pain intensity will be measured using an 11-point Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), with a range from 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximum pain possible)

Number of Adverse Events as a Measure of SafetySix and twelve months

Number and percentage of patients with adverse effects related to therapy at six and twelve months after implantation of the neurostimulation system.
