New websites help with clinical pain trials

Researchers at the University of Tennessee Health Science center created a website to enhance recruitment during a multi-center trial to study women who suffer from vulvar pain. The website contained prescreening questions as well as informational videos targeted to the audience. The website was connected to a secure database and contained links to the main, web-based data coordinating center for the trial, allowing researchers direct access to patient registries and accrued applicant information. The researchers described the advantages of their method at the 29^th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Pain Medicine in April and said the technology could be easily applied and implemented to other research trials.
