Brief summary
PROMPT aims at improving management of acute and chronic pain by identifying a core set of PROMs (patient reported outcome measures) that are predictive indicators of treatment success in clinical practice and controlled trials. These will not only address pain intensities as well as the functional consequences of pain for individuals but also identify patients at risk of experiencing chronification of acute post-operative pain. Results will help health care professionals to individualize pain management, and thus improve the quality of life of pain patients.
Detailed description
In order to reach this objective, a non-interventional prospective data collection aiming at reaching a consensus on a core set of PROMs which reliably predict and/or measure success in acute and chronic pain treatments in real life conditions and identifying predictors for chronification of postoperative pain will be conducted (PROMPT NIT-1). Aim of the data collection is to evaluate the abilities of certain PROMs in assessing acute post-surgical pain outcomes in daily routine care of patients after four different surgical procedures: (total knee replacement, breast surgery, sternotomy and surgery related to endometriosis), and to validate selected risk factors for chronification prospectively.
Interventions
No intervention. It's a prospective data collection.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| WP 2 - Acute pain: Sensitivity to change | 2019 - 2022 | For WP2, the primary endpoint will be pain intensity at day 3 (NRS Scale from 0 to 10, 0 being no pain, 10 being worst pain imaginable). This primary endpoint (PROMs) will be used to assess sensitivity to change from POD3 to POD1. |
| WP 3 - Chronification of pain: Incidence of chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) | 2019 - 2022 | For WP3, the primary end point will be the incidence of moderate to severe CPSP (Numeric rating scale ≥ 3/10) at 6 months using the average pain on the Brief Pain Inventory Questionnaire. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Association between peri-operative processes and activity/sleep | 01/2020 to 12/2021 | Association between peri-operative processes and activity/sleep |
| Is decreased activity a predictor for chronic postsurgical pain? | 01/2020 to 12/2021 | Is decreased activity a predictor for chronic postsurgical pain on POM6? |
| Objective physical activity and sleep, measured with Actigraph devices | 01/2020 to 12/2021 | Correlation of physical activity data (average no. of steps of days 5 to 7) with PRO physical function on day 7; |
| Correlation of activity difference between POD5-7 and preop with POD7 oucomes | 01/2020 to 12/2021 | Correlation of activity difference between POD5-7 and preop with POD7 oucomes |
| Association between ambient light intensity and outcomes on POD7 | 01/2020 to 12/2021 | Association between ambient light intensity and outcomes on POD7 |
| Do activity trajectories since surgery parallel trajectories of other outcomes? | 01/2020 to 12/2021 | Do activity trajectories since surgery parallel trajectories of other outcomes? |
| Association between other POD7 PROMs and activity/sleep | 01/2020 to 12/2021 | Association between other POD7 PROMs and activity/sleep |
