Pain in Neurorehabilitation Through Wearable Devices: an Exploratory Study

NCT05747040 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This exploratory interventional study aims at exploring the feasibility of using physiological signals recorded through wearable devices, together with artificial intelligence techniques, to assess pain automatically and objectively. Automatic methods to assess presence/absence of pain, discern nociceptive from neuropathic pain, and estimate the intensity of pain will be trained an tested on a population of multiple sclerosis patients undergoing neurorehabilitation.

monitoring

The intervention consists of 48-h monitoring by using two types of monitoring: an objective monitoring, through a class IIa wearable medical device recording four physiological signals, and a subjective monitoring through a questionnaire developed with Microsoft Forms that can be compiled with a smartphone. The monitoring will be conducted during a motor neurorehabilitation treatment, 24 hours before and 24 hours after the treatment at the participant's home. Besides this monitoring, stratification questionnaires will be administered to each participant to be stratified in one of the three categories (absence of pain, nociceptive pain, or neuropathic pain) based on the following timeline: t0: baseline t1: pre-treatment t2: post-treatment t3: follow-up
