简要总结
The study will be described the development and implementation of the Clinical pathway (CPW) for acupuncture treatment in the management of patients with some chronic pain conditions. The effectiveness of this CPW will be explored in this study through retrospective analysis of clinical outcomes after administration of acupuncture treatment summarised in the guidelines.
详细描述
This longitudinal, observational, retrospective study included adults (>18 years) with common chronic pain condition treated at the Son Llàtzer University Hospital Pain Clinic, in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, from January 2015 to December 2018. All patients received treatment according to the Acupuncture Clinical Pathway developed. The primary outcome measures will be a change in pain intensity measured by VAS for pain at the completion of treatment. Number of responder patients, reduction of pain medication intake, improve of quality of live scale, sleep quality index and scale of anxiety and depression after treatment are also to be included in the study.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of integrated a clinical pathway approach for chronic pain treatment with acupuncture in a Pain Clinic.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in pain intensity measured by VAS for pain at the completion of treatment
时间窗: Baseline and after the completion of treatment at 4 months
Overall average pain intensity over the last month will be assessed by a continuous scale comprised of a horizontal line, anchored by 'no pain' (score of 0) and 'worst imaginable pain' (score of 100 (100 mm scale)

- Reduction of pain medication intake after treatment(Baseline, 1 month and after the completion of treatment at 4 months)
- Improve of quality of live scale after treatment(Baseline, 1 month and after the completion of treatment at 4 months)
- Improve sleep quality index after treatment(Baseline, 1 month and after the completion of treatment at 4 months)
- Improve of scale of anxiety and depression after treatment(Baseline, 1 month and after the completion of treatment at 4 months)
