Active clinical trials for "Chronic Pain"

It is described in the literature a higher prevalence of pain in patients with an addiction but there are few studies describing the pain profile of patients with use disorder. Pain has a very negative impact on the quality of life of opioid substituted patients. Improving knowledge on this point would make it possible to better guide specific care. The investigator proposes to conduct a single-center descriptive observational study using questionnaires, without changing the management of patients with chronic pain. The primary objective of the study is to determine the prevalence of chronic pain in patients with substance addiction hospitalized for addiction treatment.

The goal of this study is to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Functional Disability Inventory (FDI), which assesses functional disability in daily life, school, and home activities of children aged 8 to 18, as well as to ensure cultural adaptation of this measurement. Chronic pain is the most frequent type of pain in children and adolescents, affecting one-quarter of the population. Children and adolescents with chronic pain have difficulty completing activities such as walking, jogging, and participating in sports, as well as daily activities. There is no valid and reliable measurement that measures pain-related disability in everyday life, at home, or at school from the perspective of a child in the literature. This study hypothesizes that the Functional Disability Inventory is a valid and reliable measurement for measuring functional disability in the Turkish population of children with chronic pain.

To compile real-world, direct from patient clinical outcomes and objective metrics in patients who have received or plan to receive a commercially approved interventional medical device therapy/procedure for chronic pain in routine clinical practice.

To identify biological and phenotypic prognostic markers of recovery vs. persistence of pain and functional disability in adolescents with chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide according to International Agency for Research on Cancer. Unfortunately, cancer survivors often face long-term symptoms that occur or persist after completion of treatment. In addition to fatigue, pain is the most common persistent symptom after cancer and cancer treatment. The diagnosis and treatment of pain in cancer survivors is not clear for many physicians. A mechanism-based classification of pain in cancer survivors might be a critical step for clinical reasoning, especially for discrimination of different pain types. The primary aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of the predominant type of pain in Turkish breast cancer survivors using a recent published clinical algorithm.

The project investigates the situation of patients with chronic pelvic and chronic belly pain before and after our group therapy.

The main goal of the research is to evaluate the long-term results of open anterior alloplasty of inguinal hernia, mainly the occurrence of recurrences. The secondary aim of the study is to clarify the incidence of chronic pain and foreign body sensation 10 years after inguinal hernia surgery. Patients who meet the criteria for inclusion in the study are invited to an appointment, where a questionnaire is filled out, an clinical examination and an ultrasound examination are performed.

The primary endpoint of this study was to identify that Perfusion index (PI) has any predictive value for the treatment outcome of cervical radiculopathy

Thoracotomy and video-assisted thoracic surgery procedures are frequently performed in thoracic surgery. It is widely accepted that thoracotomy causes severe acute pain. This prolongs the discharge time of the patients, and increases the frequency of postoperative pulmonary complications and postoperative morbidity. Postoperative acute pain may cause chronic thoracotomy pain in the later period, and may adversely affect the quality of life of the patients. Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has become the standard procedure in minor and major lung surgeries. Postoperative pain is seen in patients undergoing VATS, although it is not as severe as after thoracotomy. As in thoracotomy, this affects the postoperative pulmonary complications and the discharge time of the patients. Likewise, this pain can cause chronic pain. In this study, it was aimed to analyze the symptoms of chronic pain in the 3rd and 6th months postoperatively in patients who had undergone thoracic surgery.

Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is frequently performed in thoracic surgery. It is widely accepted that VATS causes acute pain. Many factors such as postoperative analgesia treatment plan, operation time, number of chest tubes, and duration of chest tube stay can affect acute pain. This acute pain prolongs the discharge time of the patients and increases the frequency of postoperative pulmonary complications and postoperative morbidity. Postoperative acute pain may cause chronic pain in the later period, and may adversely affect the quality of life of the patients. This study, it was aimed to analyze the symptoms of chronic pain in the 1st and 3rd months postoperatively in patients who had undergone VATS.
