简要总结
The investigators are assessing the validity of fitness devices as surrogate measures of chronic pain survey outcomes.
详细描述
The investigators are attempting to validate the usage of personal fitness trackers against the classical survey tools used. These devices are known to be of use in measuring activity and sleep in healthy patients but their use in chronic pain patients has not been assessed. This study will follow participants with chronic back pain undergoing treatment to see if changes in clinical course can be captured with these fitness devices.

结局指标
主要结局
Association of percent improvement in pain and number of steps.
时间窗: Follow-up assessment approximately 2-4 weeks following epidural procedure.
Linear regression will be used to determine the association of change in percent improvement of pain (assessed at baseline and follow-up) and number of steps taken on average the week of the assessment. Increased beta-coefficient from linear regression demonstrates that increased improvement in pain is related to an increased number of steps indicating improved mobility. If the beta coefficient from the linear regression is negative, this indicates that percent improvement in pain is associated with decreased number of steps and reduced mobility.
次要结局
- Change in survey measures of pain(Follow-up assessment approximately 2-4 weeks following the procedure.)
- Change in pain severity following procedure(Follow-up timepoint approximately 2-4 weeks following procedure)
- Association in minutes slept as measured by fitness device and percent improvement in pain(Follow-up assessment approximately 2-4 week following procedure)
