Clinician Satisfaction With the VERABAND™
Start Date

Completion Date

Summary
The VERABAND™ is a newly-developed, disposable, wearable activity monitor. The researchers will assess clinician satisfaction with the usability and likelihood of clinical adoption of the newly-developed, disposable, wearable activity monitor, across multiple clinical sites in the chronic low back pain (cLBP) population.
Detailed Description
A total of 340 cLBP patients (estimating n=300 completers) will be recruited and evaluated under an approved institutional review board (IRB) protocol by a total of 20 clinician participants distributed across multiple tertiary pain clinics. Consented patient participants will be given a VERABAND™ activity monitor during an initial clinic visit (baseline) and will then be tracked longitudinally after beginning a new pain treatment regime as part of their normal ongoing care. VERABAND™ activity data reports (including a summary broken down by week) will subsequently be provided to treating clinicians prior to each patient's follow-up clinic visit. The primary outcome will be clinician satisfaction with usability of the VERABAND™ system to support clinical cLBP management, regardless of the specific treatment(s) implemented or their analgesic effectiveness. Each clinician will complete a usability satisfaction survey at the end of each patient's episode of care, which allows for exploratory analyses to identify whether the VERABAND™ system is perceived to be more useful for specific patient phenotypes (e.g., those with higher levels of pain and/or disability or specific psychological characteristics).
