A vizsgálatról
Mit akar kideríteni a vizsgálat
The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to test the feasibility of running a full scale randomized controlled trial that compares the effect of the PQ-ResPOND intervention versus usual care to improve recurrent pain in children, adolescents, and young adults with severe neurologic impairment. The main questions it aims to answer are:
A teljes eredeti leírásKevesebb
* Is the study feasible and acceptable for participants? * Does PQ-ResPOND have a potential to be effective?
Participants will:
* answer surveys (their parents will) telling us about the child's pain, symptoms, and use of complementary therapies, and about their own psychological distress and satisfaction with care. * a group will receive the PQ-ResPOND intervention which consists of:
* activating parents and providers by using the PediQUEST system, a web platform that administers surveys and generates feedback reports alerting parents and providers about the child's experience, AND * responding to child pain or discomfort by incorporating the Response team (members of the hospital's palliative care team) into the child's care to privde a standardized approach to managing recurrent pain.
Researchers will use a comparison (control) group consisting of participants who will answer surveys and receive usual care (no feedback reports or consult with palliative care in this group) to see if a randomized design is feasible.

- PQ-ResPOND (Intervention)A vizsgált kezelés
Participants in the intervention arm will (i) answer weekly PQ-ResPOND Surveys over 12 weeks, (ii) receive feedback reports (generated by the PediQUEST system to summarize parents answers), and (iii) engage with the pediatric palliative care (PPC) team. The interprofessional PPC team will focus on child's recurrent pain and related symptoms using a standardized approach and work on family activation strategies.
Kezelés: PediQUEST ResPOND
- Usual care (Control)Nincs vizsgálati kezelés, összehasonlításként
Participants randomized to the control arm will be assigned weekly PQ-ResPOND Surveys up to week 12. Participants in this arm will not have access to the full PediQUEST system, i.e. no reports will be generated. They will not meet the PPC team but can receive regular palliative care consultations following the site's usual referral procedures. Children in the usual care arm will receive standard care, which at Boston Children's Hospital usually involves several primary clinicians (primarily neurologists or Complex Care Service attending physicians) and access to psychosocial clinician care throughout the illness course. PPC referrals are typically made at the discretion of the primary clinician, often for decision making reasons and/or closer to end-of-life. If a child presents persistent distress, they will be cared through the usual mechanisms. The rationale for collecting weekly surveys is to minimize reporting bias and may increase adherence and retention.
