Active clinical trials for "Musculoskeletal Pain"

The study is a randomized clinical trial examining the effectiveness of massage and intermittent pneumatic compression on recovery from a 161-km ultramarathon.

This is a three arm pilot randomized trial. Patients will be assigned to: Usual care Video education in the Emergency Department (ED) Video education in the ED plus phone follow-up at three days with geriatric pain management specialist for all patients with pain >=4/10

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

The purpose of this study is to assess whether a novel, enhanced form of biofeedback can help individuals regulate their chronic musculoskeletal pain more effectively.

Pain in the neck and shoulders is a musculoskeletal disorder that affects a significant number of individuals.The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of PBMT (with a device that combines low level laser therapy and light emitting diode therapy) in chronic pain relief of musculoskeletal origin in the neck and shoulders area.

This study is intended to test the influence of weight training on physical symptoms, physical activity and brain structure and function in Gulf War Veterans with chronic widespread muscle pain.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of ibuprofen and acetaminophen, is more effective than either single agent alone in treating pain from acute musculoskeletal injuries in the emergency department.

The broad aim of the study is to implement and evaluate the efficacy of Graded Exposure Treatment (GET Living) to target elevated pain-related fears in children with chronic pain. Pain-related fear is an important psychological factor associated with poor outcomes in children suffering with chronic pain. To examine the efficacy of GET Living in addressing pain-related fears the investigators propose to use a sequential replicated randomized single-case experimental phase design with multiple measures. The specific aims are to 1) evaluate the effectiveness and acceptability of individually tailored GET Living for children with high pain-related fear and functional disability and 2) define anatomical and resting state connectivity patterns in the brains of children and adolescents with complex chronic pain prior to and after participation in GET Living.

The long term goal is to improve the quality and equity of chronic pain treatment among VA patients. The primary objective of this study is to improve pain outcomes among black VA patients with chronic, musculoskeletal (MSK) pain, who experience poorer pain treatment and outcomes than their white counterparts. The work proposed is expected to result in a non-pharmacological intervention, delivered by telephone, designed to reduce pain and improve functioning among black patients with MSK pain, by promoting walking. This intervention is specifically designed to address factors that contribute to MSK pain among black Veterans; however, the investigators expect that it will also benefit non-black Veterans. The proposed research is innovative, in its use of proactive outreach and recent advances in self-regulation strategies (such as Action Planning) to help black Veterans overcome psychological, environmental, utilization-related, and provider-related barriers that contribute to pain.

The broad aim of this study is to implement and evaluate the efficacy of Graded Exposure Treatment (GET Living) to target elevated pain-related fears in children with chronic pain at the Stanford Pediatric Pain Management Clinic (PPMC). The investigators will evaluate the effectiveness and acceptability of this intervention for children with high levels of pain-related fear and functional disability. If proven efficacious, it will allow for the dissemination of this innovative treatment model to others working with children and adolescents with chronic pain.
