Summary

The study would consist of teaching pain management and physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians how to program and refill a baclofen pump with two different methods. A baclofen pump is a device that delivers a medication called baclofen to the spinal canal. The baclofen pump is surgically implanted near the abdomen, with a thin, flexible tube running to the spinal canal to deliver the medication. The study aims to measure the effectiveness of procedural video compared to traditional lectures in transferring skills for refilling and programming a baclofen pump. This will be a controlled study consisting of two randomly assigned groups of physicians with inexperience with refilling and programming baclofen pumps. Before randomization, all participants will be tested on baclofen pump refilling and programming on the baclofen pump simulator. The control group will then receive a traditional 60-minute lecture on teaching baclofen pump management, while the intervention group will watch a 10-minute video on baclofen pump management. The traditional lecture will consist of a PowerPoint lecture for 30 minutes, a demonstration of the refilling and programming technique for 10 minutes, and participant hands-on practice refilling and programming a baclofen pump for 20 minutes. The intervention group will have 30 minutes to view the video and practice hands-on baclofen pump refilling and programming. The video may be viewed as many times as needed over the 30 minutes. The participants will then be re-tested on baclofen pump refilling and programming on the simulator. Six to eight weeks later, the participants will have repeat testing on baclofen pump refilling and programming on the simulator to see if knowledge was retained over time. Once repeat testing is complete, the control group will review the 10-minute video, and the intervention group will receive the 60-minute traditional lecture. The study will conclude with an approximately 30-minute focus group discussing the two education methods.
