简要总结
This is a prospective, non-randomized, double blind, single center, single arm, validation study, to evaluate the performance of PGS 1.0 algorithm in analyzing pain specific symptoms and medical history data of pain patients referred to a pain expert consultation.
详细描述
Background and Rationale:
Chronic pain is a global epidemic. On average, 20% of the Western population suffers from chronic pain, and in some countries, such as the U.S., the number reaches up to 30%. When chronic pain is not properly diagnosed and treated, it leads not only to patient suffering but also to serious comorbidities, increased use of healthcare services, and, in growing numbers, addiction and misuse of prescription drugs.
Pain medicine, a relatively young medical field, offers evidence-based diagnosis and treatment tailored to the patient's pain mechanisms. However, there is a major gap between the large number of patients and the very limited number of pain specialists (around 4,000 in the U.S. and about 80 in Israel). This shortage leads to extremely long waiting times (5-6 months) while patients continue to suffer.
To help close this gap, PG Medical Systems, together with Dr. Simon Wolfson (Head of the Pain Institute at Rambam Health Care Campus), developed an algorithm that analyzes patient symptoms and provides recommendations for pain diagnosis and treatment pathways.

结局指标
主要结局
Agreement by percent agreement
时间窗: At the completion of patients' enrollment, agreement will be assessed between PGS 1.0 diagnosis and the expert diagnosis per patient (diagnosis of expert at the intake to the pain clinic and PGS 1.0 diagnosis as per the data the patient filled in).
Interrater reliability defined as the agreement between the PGS 1.0 algorithm and Pain Expert in rating pain patients' pain diagnosis as measured by percent agreement.
次要结局
- Agreement by Cohen's Kappa coefficient.(At the completion of patients' enrollment, agreement will be assessed between PGS 1.0 diagnosis and the expert diagnosis per patient (diagnosis of expert at the intake to the pain clinic and PGS 1.0 diagnosis as per the data the patient filled in).)
