VERABAND for Clinician Satisfaction
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new wearable device called the VERABAND™ to assess doctor satisfaction with its use for patients with chronic low back pain. The device tracks activity and sends reports to doctors to aid in managing patient care. The trial seeks individuals experiencing low back pain that affects movement and who are beginning a new non-surgical treatment. Participants must be able to walk, willing to wear the device until their next clinic visit, and return it by mail. As an unphased trial, this study offers participants the chance to contribute to innovative research that could enhance future patient care.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial does not specify that you need to stop taking your current medications. It mentions that you can start new treatments, including medications, as part of your normal care.
What prior data suggests that the VERABAND is safe for use in clinical settings?
Research shows that the VERABAND is a wearable device used to track activity during the day and while sleeping. Early results suggest it is safe because it only collects and stores data. No reports of serious side effects have emerged from wearing these types of monitors.
This trial focuses on healthcare providers' satisfaction with the device, not its safety for users. Testing in a clinical setting suggests that any major safety issues have likely been addressed. The trial is labeled "Not Applicable," indicating it examines the device's usefulness in a healthcare setting rather than side effects.
Overall, the VERABAND appears well-tolerated, similar to other common activity monitors, which are generally considered safe.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the VERABAND trial because it aims to enhance clinician satisfaction and potentially improve patient care through advanced data tracking. Unlike traditional pain management approaches that rely heavily on subjective patient feedback, VERABAND provides clinicians with objective, detailed weekly reports on patient activity levels. This innovative approach can offer a clearer picture of how patients respond to their pain treatments over time, allowing for more tailored and effective care strategies. By integrating technology into routine clinical practice, VERABAND could transform how clinicians monitor treatment effectiveness and adjust pain management plans.
What evidence suggests that the VERABAND activity monitor is effective for clinician satisfaction in chronic low back pain?
The VERABAND™ is a new wearable device designed to help manage chronic low back pain (cLBP). In this trial, clinicians will receive activity data from the VERABAND™ device, enabling them to track and adjust treatments more effectively. The device provides detailed weekly reports, which may assist doctors in making more informed treatment decisions. Although direct evidence on its pain management effectiveness is not yet available, the device aims to enhance doctor satisfaction and treatment efficacy in managing cLBP.26789

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for clinicians treating patients with chronic low back pain (cLBP) at tertiary pain clinics. Participants must diagnose cLBP as per NIH standards, have patients whose mobility is affected by cLBP, and be starting new non-surgical treatments. Clinicians should be willing to wear the VERABAND™ until the next clinic visit.Inclusion Criteria

Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
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 arm is all of the clinicians of the participants.
