Advancing Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) for Pain: Improving Validity in Patient Data
9:00 am

Traditional pain measures often fail to capture the complexity of patient experiences and can lack standardisation across trials leading to issues with data accuracy, and regulatory alignment. This workshop explores evolving methods for PROs, balancing real-world patient realities with scientific rigor, and leveraging technology that’s developed significantly in the last two decades, to improve data quality.

Workshop Highlights:

  • Discover latest strategies to learn methods to improve accuracy in pain reporting through technology that can reduce subjectivity and recall bias
  • Focus on aligning PROs and trial endpoints with regulatory expectations
  • Evaluate different strategies towards PRO’s with your peers and hear directly from Vertex on their approved framework
  • Learn to assess pain in context, and the benefits, rather than average pain scores
