Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Stated-Preferences Observational Group

A discrete choice experiment will be conducted with participants with peripheral neuropathic pain in the stated-preferences observational group. The instrument will measure patient preferences for topical versus systemic pain treatment.

Other: Discrete Choice Experiment
An online-based Discrete-Choice Experiment (DCE) using a survey for stated treatment preferences and socio-demographics. Furthermore, the neuropathic pain component will be assessed in all patients with the Numeric Pain Rating Scale instrument.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Patient preferences for topical and systemic pain treatment attributes [20 minutes after survey start]

    Utility values obtained via multinominal logit estimates from discrete choice experiment

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Relevance of attributes attributed with topical and systemic pain treatment [5 minutes after survey start]

    Derived from Likert scale

  2. Marginal rate of substitution against pain reduction [20 minutes after survey start]

    Derived from discrete choice experiment
