DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Chronic pain is a costly syndrome that influences every aspect of a person's functioning. It accounts for 21 percent of emergency room visits and 25 percent of annual missed work days and, when considering direct and indirect costs, imposes a greater economic burden than any other disease, with estimates of annual costs adding up to $100 billion. Pain is the primary symptom that prompts individuals to seek medical attention, but despite its prevalence, it remains a stubborn condition to treat and a difficult concept to capture by objective measurement techniques. The objective of this application is to finalize and evaluate a customizable electronic pain software program for physicians and their patients to monitor key aspects of chronic pain including pain intensity, mood, activity level, and medication use. Significant innovative features of this proposed research are: 1) the development of associated graphs to chart pain intensity and other factors; 2) a comprehensive Pain Body Map to chart pain location over time; and 3) In-clinic wireless transmission of data for real-time access. Charts reflecting results of the data entered will be accessible via an associated website. The site will also include information on pain management. The overall aim of this Phase II SBIR is to finalize and rigorously test a chronic pain software program and develop an associated website for doctors and patients to view charted pain data and patient education information. To achieve our overall objective, we propose the following: 1) to complete complex programming and rigorously beta test the electronic diary; 2) to complete development of a website where participants and physicians can review diary data and download information on chronic pain management; and 3) to evaluate the final software in a clinic setting. The focus of the evaluation will be to determine whether this software improves patient satisfaction with treatment and assists physicians and patients to manage chronic pain more effectively over time.

描述（由申请人提供）：慢性疼痛是一种昂贵的综合症，会影响一个人功能的各个方面。它占急诊室就诊的21％和25％的年度失踪日期，并且在考虑直接和间接成本时，其经济负担比任何其他疾病都更大，估计年度费用高达1000亿美元。疼痛是促使个人寻求医疗护理的主要症状，但是尽管患病率很高，但它仍然是一种顽固的治疗状况，并且是通过客观测量技术捕获的困难概念。 该应用的目的是针对医生及其患者完成和评估可自定义的电子疼痛软件程序，以监控慢性疼痛的关键方面，包括疼痛强度，情绪，活动水平和使用药物。这项拟议的研究的重要创新特征是：1）与图表疼痛强度和其他因素的相关图的发展； 2）随着时间的推移，全面的疼痛身体图表疼痛位置； 3）无线无线传输数据以实时访问。反映输入数据结果的图表将可以通过关联的网站访问。该网站还将包括有关疼痛管理的信息。 该第二阶段SBIR的总体目的是最终确定并严格测试慢性疼痛软件程序，并为医生和患者开发相关网站，以查看图表的疼痛数据和患者教育信息。为了实现我们的整体目标，我们建议以下内容：1）完成复杂的编程并严格测试电子日记； 2）完成一个网站的开发，参与者和医生可以查看日记数据并下载有关慢性疼痛管理的信息； 3）在诊所环境中评估最终软件。评估的重点是确定该软件是否可以提高患者对治疗的满意，并帮助医生和患者随着时间的推移更有效地管理慢性疼痛。
