Providing Standardized Consented PROMs (Patient Reported Outcome Measures) for Improving Pain Treatment

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.
