Evaluation of the Clinical and Economic Impact of painPRIMER in the Treatment of Low Back Pain in a Primary Care Setting

Terminated
Conditions
Low Back Pain
Interventions
Device: painPREMIER cohort
Other: Control cohort
Registration Number
NCT01838057
Lead Sponsor
Pfizer
Brief Summary

To evaluate the impact of painPRIMER in a prospective six-month clinical investigation looking at clinical outcomes, health care professional and patient satisfaction, healthcare resource use, productivity and direct and indirect costs. The hypothesis is that early identification of the presence of neuropathic pain and back pain related comorbidities, to direct appropriate pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment, painPRIMER would improve patient outcomes and reduce patient cycling, inappropriate use of imaging and surgery, thereby reducing costs and productivity loss associated with these inefficiencies.
