Active clinical trials for "Musculoskeletal Pain"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an association with one anti-inflammatory and one muscle relaxant agent compared to the one muscle relaxant agent isolated in the treatment of osteomuscular pain in adults.

Pelvic floor muscle physical therapy is recommended in clinical guidelines for women dyspareunia and pelvic pain. This study compare pelvic floor manual therapy and intratissue percutaneous electrolysis (EPI) technique in the treatment of pelvic pain in women with dyspareunia. Half of participants will receive pelvic floor manual therapy while the other half will receive intratissue percutaneous electrolysis technique.

This study compares the efficacy of five oral analgesics: 5 mg oxycodone + 325 mg acetaminophen, 5 mg hydrocodone + 300 mg acetaminophen, 30 mg codeine + 300 mg acetaminophen, 400 mg ibuprofen + 1000 mg acetaminophen, and 800 mg ibuprofen + 1000 mg acetaminophen for the treatment of patients with acute musculoskeletal pain who present to the Emergency Department (ED).

The purpose of this project is to determine the effect of a multimodal non-pharmacological Pain Relief Kit on the pain, functioning, patient satisfaction, and opioid consumption of individuals suffering from an acute pain episode of chronic neck and/or low back pain over a 3-week duration.

The observation of actions and motor imagery has demonstrated the activation of certain mechanisms similar to those that occur during active movement, which could induce immediate changes in the amplitudes of movement and sensorimotor variables in observed and imagined movements. The main aim of the study was test the immediate effect of a protocol of observed actions and motor imagery on cervical range of motion and pain intensity in patients with non-specific chronic neck pain (NSCNP). Randomized double-blind clinical trial in patients with DCCI at a primary health care center in the Community of Madrid. A random distribution of study subjects was made into two groups: a) cervical motion videos were presented at full range of motion and b) the videos presented showed a range of motion limited to 40%. In both groups, visualization tasks of actions were alternated with internal kinesthetic motor imagery, in periods of 1min in 2 consecutive series and with a total of 12 minutes of intervention. Cervical range of motion was assessed with a cervical goniometer and pain intensity immediately following the intervention with an Analog Visual Scale.

To determine the difference in efficacy of an all natural topical analgesic (MuscleCare) to a product containing the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac (Voltaren) on trapezius trigger point pain.

The purpose of this project is to determine the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of acupuncture in the Emergency Department (ED) for treating acute musculoskeletal pain. The overall goal is to reduce acute and subacute opioid use by improving acute pain, anxiety and disability with non-pharmacologic treatment options at a critical entry point for patients into the healthcare system. This full-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT) has been statistically powered to test the effectiveness of ED-based acupuncture for both one-hour (Stage 1) and one-month (Stage 2) pain reduction outcomes. The feasibility will be assessed based on patient recruitment and retention rates, while the acceptability will be assessed using patient reported outcomes and qualitative semi-structured interviews. Stage 1 is a 2-phase study design. Phase (1): Enrolled subjects will be randomized to auricular (ear) acupuncture, peripheral acupuncture, or the control group receiving no acupuncture. Subjects assigned to an acupuncture arm will receive information and access to acupuncture in an outpatient clinic for the 4 weeks following ED visit. Subjects may also have a blood draw for biomarker analysis during their ED visit. A planned interim analysis of the first 60 patients (2/3 of the Phase 1 arm completed) will be completed to select the more effective and/or acceptable arm for Phase 2. At interim analysis, it was determined by the DSMB that neither arm was superior, so the recommendation was to continue Stage 1 Phase 2 unchanged with 3 arms. Stage 1 is complete, and we will proceed with Stage 2 powered to the 4-week pain score outcome. Stage 2 will proceed with the same procedures as stage 1, only powered to a different outcome.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a workplace yoga intervention in reducing the frequency of pain involving the head and neck area.

This study investigates whether or not the stretching and strengthening exercises are effective both at home and under supervision for people suffering from neck pain from using equipment for online courses due to quarantine during COVID-19.

Acute Pain is one of the most frequent chief complaints and the main reason for visiting the Emergency Department (ED). The acute pain in the ED is largely prevalent across the country with recent literature demonstrating that 61-91% of patients are admitted to the ED due to a variety of acute painful syndromes. There is a lack of good options for pain control in such settings.
