Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 April 2022
Abstract
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The present work aims to use baseline data to identify demographic, clinical, and psychosocial factors associated with patients who receive analgesic benefit from temporary neurostimulation. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This study presents baseline data from our descriptive, prospective, longitudinal study. Consecutive patients who present to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Interventional Pain Management Clinic for implantation of a neurostimulation device, have met clinical criteria for implantation of a neuromodulation device, and are able to speak and understand English are invited to participate. Prior to the placement of the temporary stimulator, each patient completes demographic and symptom-related questionnaires. Clinical characteristics are obtained through medical record review. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We anticipate enrolling 50 participants in order to have 30 patients that report analgesic benefit from temporary neurostimulation. Variability in demographics, clinical characteristics, and psychosocial factors will be reported between patients who receive and those who do not receive analgesia following temporary neurostimulation. Gender differences will also be reported. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Despite the use of varying outcome measures, studies to date have not incorporated validated patient reported outcomes or controlled for key demographic and clinical characteristics. Our analysis evaluates clinical and psychosocial variables associated with successful temporary neurostimulation.
