Active clinical trials for "Musculoskeletal Pain"

This study is comparing two different exercise programs, Qi Gong (gentle stretching, and breathing) with an aerobics program (boxing and dancing) to see if children with chronic pain or fibromyalgia are able to take part in the program. We would also like to know if it is easy to take part in an exercise program. We hypothesize that children with chronic musculoskeletal pain and FM, who engage in Qigong fitness training, will be more compliant, and have an equivalent or possibly superior improvement on measures of motor function (peak power, endurance, and metabolic efficiency) compared to children given an aerobic fitness exercise program.

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a stepped care approach in treating depression and reducing pain.

A randomized controlled trial comparing a new approach to musculoskeletal pain consisting of education and peer involvement to treatment as usual. All local government employees in 1-3 Norwegian municipalities will be invited to participate.

In this work the investigators will study the relationship between chronic musculoskeletal pain and abnormal blood flow (neovascularity) around the shoulder, hip and knee. Veterans with as history of chronic shoulder, hip or knee pain and mild/moderate joint degenerative changes will be potential study subjects. Blood flow around joints will be evaluated using perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Participants with demonstrably abnormal blood flow around their painful joint will be eligible for enrollment in a pilot study of joint embolization to treat their pain. Participants who choose to not undergo treatment will be re-assessed with MRI after one year to characterize the natural history of joint neovascularity and its relationship to pain.

The aim of this randomised controlled trial is to compare the effectiveness of two different telerehabilitation assessment methods in patients with chronic low back pain. The control group will receive a video exercise-based rehabilitation protocol with telerehabilitation. The intervention group will be followed up with the same protocol plus symptom monitoring software called PhysioAnalyst which provides visual feedback. The evaluation of outcome measures will be performed on the control group through the PhysioAnalist programme without visual feedback and on the intervention group through the PhysioAnalist programme with visual feedback.

This study will compare the efficacy of two different non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) ketorolac and ibuprofen for people with acute moderate or severe musculoskeletal pain. The investigators will also determine whether taking acetaminophen prior to the NSAID impacts efficacy

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of compound Nanxing pain relief cream in the treatment of chronic pain in the musculoskeletal system

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a new primary care intervention "Back on Track" as compared to usual primary care in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain in which disability levels are moderate and the role of psychosocial factors to this disability is at maximum low (classified as WPN2).

The study is a single-center, double blinded, randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate the effects of focused extracorporeal shockwave therapy (fESWT) on Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) of the non-dominant biceps brachialis muscle in healthy voluntary adults.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of Deep dry needling of active myofascial trigger points present in muscles of the neck and shoulder region in orchestral musicians.
