PULSE AMPLITUDE TESTING (PAT) IN ADOLESCENTS ENDOPAT: A NOVEL TECHNOLOGY

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 主要目的 证明Endo-PAT在13-19岁健康青少年中的重现性。 假设：在青少年中，同一患者两天内Endo-PAT指数读数的平均差异< 0.3 结果：配对Endo-PAT指数之间的平均差异 次要目的 1.证明Endo-PAT在13-19岁健康青少年中的可行性。 假设：Endo-PAT在青少年中是一种可行的测试 结果：已完成研究与尝试研究的比例以及 可分析研究与已完成研究的比例。 2. 收集有关不适、压力等的数据。 假设：Endo-PAT在青少年中导致最小的暂时不适。 结果：根据疼痛量表测量的平均不适程度。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Primary aim To demonstrate reproducibility of Endo-PAT in healthy adolescents 13-19 years of age. Hypothesis: The mean difference in Endo-PAT index readings on two separate days on the same patient is < 0.3 in adolescents Outcome: Mean difference between the paired Endo-PAT indices Secondary aims 1. To demonstrate feasibility of Endo-PAT in healthy adolescents age 13-19 years of age. Hypothesis: Endo-PAT is a feasible test in adolescents Outcomes: The proportion of completed studies to attempted studies and the proportion of analyzable studies to completed studies. 2. To gather data with regard to discomfort, stress, etc. Hypothesis: Endo-PAT results in minimal temporary discomfort in adolescents. Outcome: The average reported level of discomfort as a measured on a pain scale.
