Active clinical trials for "Chronic Pain"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether participation in the study intervention, which involves collaboration between the study interventionist and the participant's primary care physician, will reduce symptoms of pain and depression in HIV+ patients.

Individuals will be recruited by posted advertisements in the waiting rooms of the PCP offices and by physician referral. After an initial phone screen, research staff will meet with interested individuals in their PCP offices for informed consent, baseline interview and randomization. Participants will be randomized into a Health Education study arm, and receive 7 individual sessions on general health education, or an Intervention study arm, and receive 7 individual sessions of the Treating Opioid Patients' Pain and Sadness (TOPPS) intervention.

Chronic pain may be a long-term problem after inguinal Lichtenstein hernioplasty. The aim of this study was to compare long-term results of hernioplasty using three different meshes (partly absorbable, lightweight polypropylene and thick polypropylene mesh).

To determine the best parameters with various leads to cover back and leg pain and provide best pain relief

The aim of the present study was to investigate if guided Internet-delivered Cognitive-behavioral Therapy (CBT) would help chronic pain patients who had previously undergone a multidisciplinary treatment but still have residual problems.

The main objective of this protocol is to measure the improvement of the overall situation of patients with diffuse chronic pain or fibromyalgia to 12 weeks by non-drug treatment relaxation. Secondarily,is to evaluate the evolution of physical variables, psychological and social improvement of the quality of life. To evaluate the evolution of drug consumption

The primary objective of this study is to investigate patient satisfaction with treatment using a new implantable neurostimulation system for chronic pain of the trunk and/or limbs.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether pain control for patients with chronic pain is improved by the availability of structured telephone consultations between the patients' family physicians and pain physicians, compared to pain control for patients receiving usual care.

Paracetamol is one of the most widely used analgesics in the world especially for chronic pain in the elderly. The metabolism of paracetamol occurs in the liver and involves the use of glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine (Glutathione (GSH)). Medications such as paracetamol, may reduce the reserves of GSH because it is used for detoxification and elimination. It is well known that the concentration of GSH decrease after administration of paracetamol in humans and animals. Aging is associated with decreased concentration of GSH in cells and tissues. In the elderly, a decrease of GSH concentration in plasma or red blood cells is associated with decreased physical and mental health. We wish here to determine, in subjects aged over 70 years, the blood concentration of glutathione (GSH) and urinary loss of cysteine in the detoxification of paracetamol, when taking paracetamol treatment repeated.

The purpose of this study is to determine if buprenorphine or methadone is better for the treatment of chronic pain among patients who have become addicted to prescription narcotics.
