Active clinical trials for "Chronic Pain"

This study will focus on the feasibility of a modified cognitive behavioral program for pain management among children and youth with cerebral palsy (CP) on developing pain coping skills and reducing pain interference levels The study design is a randomized control feasibility trial. Participants will be placed randomly into one of two groups based on chance (50/50). The 2 groups are: (1) immediate treatment group and (2) delayed wait-list treatment group. Both groups will receive the same intervention protocol.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of osteopathic manipulative treatment on pain intensity, disability level and psychosocial factors in patients with chronic non-specific neck pain. We hypothesed that osteopathic manipulative treatment is better than conventional physiotherapy in management of pain, disability and depression.

The aim of this study is to investigate the use of Interoceptive Exposure (IE) in treatment of disabling fear of pain using a single-case series design.

This study aims to gather preliminary data regarding acupuncture and mindfulness in the treatment of chronic pain.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Soovu Labs pain Relief System in a group of users that represent people most likely to purchase and use the units. This study is called an In Home Users Trial (IHUT). The device is called Soovu and was determined by the FDA to be Class II 510(k) except (C190061 November 2019). Relevant endpoints include ease of use, pain relief, quality of life, and long-term effectiveness.

Since the original publication on the erector spinae plane (ESP) block in 2016, the technique of the ESP block has evolved significantly in the last few years. Current reports suggest that the ESP block provides adequate analgesia in thoracic and abdominal sites in a post-surgical and chronic pain patient. However, there were still inconsistencies and unclear spread of local anesthetics in ultrasound guide ESP block. This study focusing on the spread of local anesthetic in ESP block under ultrasound and fluoroscopy and possible mechanisms of action.

Psychological impairments have a significant role in management and coping of pain in patients with orofacial pain disorders. The response of this kind of pathologies to topical or systemic medications is not predictable and mindfulness breathing and relaxation techniques could present good results since it help patients to accept their problem and to cope it. In consequence, the present study is aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a mindfulness therapy program in management of chronic orofacial pain.

Ultrasound-guided blockage of the erector plane of the spine (known as ESP BLOCK) is a recently described block and a very useful strategy in the perioperative period as it provides effective analgesia in thoracic surgery. Ultrasound-guided type II pectoral nerve block (internationally known by the acronym Pecs II block) is a very useful strategy in the perioperative period because it provides effective analgesia in breast surgeries and can optimize results. The aim of this study is to assess perioperative pain in mastectomies. This is a prospective, randomized, single-blinded study that will compare the effects of spinal erector plane block versus pectoral nerve block in patients scheduled for mastectomy. The ESP group will receive balanced general anesthesia associated with ESP BLOCK with 0.5% ropivacaine guided by ultrasound. The Pecs II group will receive balanced general anesthesia associated with Pecs II block with 0.5% ropivacaine guided by USG.

Distal radius fracture is the most common upper extremity fracture with peak incidence among older women after the fifth decade of life. Proprioception is one constituent of a complex Sensory motor control process. Proprioception requires the reception and central integration of incoming afferent signals. Although various sensory and motor deficits have been correlated with significant functional impairment after wrist trauma, limited research exists on the effects of proprioception and multi sensory training after distal radius fracture.

The Swedish version of ASI-SR has shown good feasibility in assessment of addiction patients functioning compare to long and time-consuming ASI, which is upp to date golden standard in Sweden. This study investigate if ASI-SR is suitable instrument for the assessment of the chronic pain patient addicted to opioids. The validation process is designed according to the COSMIN guidelines. Preliminary results are expected by December 2022.
