Participant preferences for pharmacologic chronic pain treatment trial characteristics: an ACTTION adaptive choice-based conjoint study

Barriers to clinical trial recruitment can delay study completion, potentially resulting in increased costs and an unrepresentative sample. In the current study of 150 participants with chronic pain, we used a computerized adaptive choice-based conjoint (ACBC) survey that included 8 characteristics that may affect enrollment in pharmacologic pain treatment trials (i.e., treatment allocation; frequency of pain ratings; treatment administration method; current medications; number of study visits; availability of evening and weekend visits; invasiveness of laboratory procedures; payment).
