NCT03246282

Brief Summary

This study uses a prospective non-randomized, non-controlled design. One Hundred Fifty (150) subjects presenting with pain will be enrolled into a single treatment group The purpose of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of PLEDS for PIV catheter light delivery for pain reduction, through change between baseline average pain and final average VAS score. The absence of a control group is based on the following reason: The purpose of this investigation is to further the understanding of the feasibility of PLEDS for PIV catheter light delivery for pain management. Further, the results of this investigation will be used (internally only) to determine if subject-perceived reductions in pain warrant proceeding with more controlled, targeted and possibly randomized studies.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The use of polychromatic light therapy delivered through an intravascular catheter to assess the change in self-reported VAS pain score.

    To evaluate the feasibility of PLEDS for PIV catheter light delivery for the purposes of pain reduction, through assessing the change between baseline average pain (via "Brief Pain Inventory - Short Form") and final average VAS score (via the "Per Treatment VAS Score Form") following treatment administration.

Study Arms (1)

Treatment Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Polychromatic light emitting diode system is a non-significant risk device that administers low-dose light generated by light emitting diode(s). A small adapter attaches directly to a standard 20-guage catheter that threads a small fiber optic through the distal end of the catheter. The optic terminates at the proximal end of the catheter. Polychromatic light is emitted to illuminate the catheter near the site of catheter entrance. Concurrently, normal saline flows through the optic adapter, into and through the 20-gauge catheter. Device: UVL1000 Treatment Station Drug: Normal Saline 0.9% Infusion Solution Bag Device: Peripheral Catheterization

Device: UVL1000 Treatment StationDrug: Normal Saline 0.9% Infusion Solution BagDevice: Peripheral Catheterization
