Registration Number

Lead Sponsor
Defense and Veterans Center for Integrative Pain Management
Brief Summary

This study utilizes the Medication DNA Insight™ tests for pain and mental health medications. We are testing the pain and mental health medications commonly used in pain treatment. Subjects will give a sample of saliva that will be tested for the metabolism of the different medications. Consented providers will be given the results of the test and can determine whether to change the subject's medication regimen. Providers and subjects will be ask to complete surveys both pre and post visits. The purpose is to examine provider and patient satisfaction, confidence and certainty of using the test results.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, interventional pilot study analyzing both providers' and patients' perceptions and responses to the DNA Insight test. Twelve military health system primary care providers and 4 of each provider's patients will be enrolled in the study. (12 providers and 48 patients total) Each provider's patients will be randomized into delayed treatment (Group A) or immediate treatment (Group B) at a 1:1 ratio. All patients receive the Pain Medication and Mental Health DNA InsightTM test (intervention). Results for patients in Group A will be given to the provider with a 3 month delay. Those in the 3 month delay will serve as a comparison group for the period prior to receiving intervention. Results for patients in Group B will be given to the provider without delay, 2-3 weeks after saliva sample collection. The provider will use the results of the Pain Medication and Mental Health DNA InsightTM test to evaluate whether changes of medications are indicated based on the individual patient's genetic profile. A measure of the provider's certainty, confidence, satisfaction, perception of care and global impression of change will be assessed at baseline, prior to obtaining the test results, and after obtaining the test results, as outlined in the data collection section. Patients' pain related self-reported outcomes, certainty, confidence and satisfaction will be assessed at baseline, prior to obtaining the DNA InsightTM test results, and after receipt and implementation of the test results, as described in the data collection section of the protocol.

At the baseline visit (Visit 0) each enrolled patient will provide a saliva sample for the Pain Medication DNA InsightTM test that identifies genetic variation in CYP metabolism. The providers and patients will be recruited from any of the Womack Army Medical Center's Primary Care Medical Homes and family practice clinics.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Provider Satisfaction, Certainty and Confidence survey6 months

Examine trends in provider decisions in prescribing analgesics and modifying analgesic treatment plans and provider outcomes for satisfaction, certainty and confidence in dosing of analgesics with and without access to Pain Medication and Mental Health DNA Insight ™ genetic testing results. A certainty, confidence, satisfaction survey, provider perception of care and provider global impression of change surveys will be administered to the provider after each visit from each study subject.

Provider perception of care survey6 months

Examine trends in provider decisions in prescribing analgesics and modifying analgesic treatment plans and provider outcomes in perception of care

Provider global impression of change survey6 months

Examine trends in provider decisions in prescribing analgesics and modifying analgesic treatment plans and provider outcomes for global impression of change

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient certainty, confidence and satisfaction survey6 months

Examine trends in patients' satisfaction, certainty and confidence in dosing of analgesics between patient groups whose providers had access to Pain Medication and Mental Health DNA Insight ™ genetic testing results and those whose providers did not have access to the genetic information.

Patient Outcomes pain as assessed by BPI perception of pain relief item6 months

Compare patient-reported pain between patient groups whose providers had early access to Pain Medication and Mental Health DNA Insight ™ genetic testing results to those who had delayed access in the control period and subsequently following later access to the results. Subjects will be ask to complete the BPI perception of pain relief item prior to each provider visit.

Patient Outcomes of depression as assessed by the PROMIS depression short form6 months

Compare patient-reported depression between patient groups whose providers had early access to Pain Medication and Mental Health DNA Insight ™ genetic testing results to those who had delayed access in the control period and subsequently following later access to the results. Subjects will be ask to complete the PROMIS depression short form prior to each provider visit.

Patient perception of care survey6 months

Examine trends in patient perception of care in dosing of analgesics between patient groups whose providers had access to Pain Medication and Mental Health DNA Insight ™ genetic testing results and those whose providers did not have access to the genetic information.

Patient Outcomes pain as assessed by the PROMIS Pain short form6 months

Compare patient-reported pain between patient groups whose providers had early access to Pain Medication and Mental Health DNA Insight ™ genetic testing results to those who had delayed access in the control period and subsequently following later access to the results. Subjects will be ask to complete the PROMIS pain interference short forms prior to each provider visit.

Patient Outcomes of demographics6 months

Compare patient-reported demographics for equality in sampling

Patient global impression of change survey6 months

Examine trends in patients' global impression of change in dosing of analgesics between patient groups whose providers had access to Pain Medication and Mental Health DNA Insight ™ genetic testing results and those whose providers did not have access to the genetic information.

Patient Outcomes pain as assessed by the DVPRS6 months

Compare patient-reported pain between patient groups whose providers had early access to Pain Medication and Mental Health DNA Insight ™ genetic testing results to those who had delayed access in the control period and subsequently following later access to the results. Subjects will be ask to complete the DVPRS pain scale, a visual analog scale.

Patient Outcomes of anxiety as assessed by the PROMIS anxiety short form6 months

Compare patient-reported anxiety between patient groups whose providers had early access to Pain Medication and Mental Health DNA Insight ™ genetic testing results to those who had delayed access in the control period and subsequently following later access to the results. Subjects will be ask to complete the PROMIS anxiety short form prior to each provider visit.
