Active clinical trials for "Musculoskeletal Pain"

This study sought to evaluate the vasomotor response in the pain referral area of healthy individuals, performing the same procedure with and without the experience of delayed onset muscle soreness.

This study evaluates nervous system hypersensitivity in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and experiences of ongoing musculoskeletal (MSK) pain. Previous results and current literature suggest that MSK pain in IBD may be influenced by hypersensitivity of the central nervous system, termed central sensitization. However, specific mechanisms contributing to pain experiences are unknown. Therefore, primary aims are to explore aspects of central sensitization through sensory testing in this population, and to investigate association of psychological and IBD features to sensory profiles. This study hypothesizes that IBD patients with MSK pain will demonstrate altered sensory function, and IBD/psychosocial features will be associated with altered sensory functioning and worse pain experiences.

The woman's body undergoes many physiological changes during pregnancy, which can cause muscle weakness and postpartum joint instability. In addition, the intensive care of the baby sometimes involves extreme body postures and mechanical loading on the hands, which are considered as ergonomic risk factors. Therefore, postpartum women may be particularly vulnerable to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). As far as we know, there is no evidence-based intervention on this issue.

In professional musicians there are characteristic diseases. In this area there is no preventive culture and many musicians end their professional careers due to ailments and pathologies that cause the abandonment of the profession or they learn to live and play with pain. It is a very demanding profession that requires many hours of training without respecting the necessary rest, which undoubtedly produces fatigue and muscle overload, neurological disorders, etc. Also, the demands to achieve perfection lead to serious work problems. Given that it is a profession that suffers from pain and psychosomatic alterations and that is often accompanied by emotional alterations due to work demands, it is necessary to know this problem and to what extent it affects the musician to be able to act from different areas and improve his well-being. The objective is to know specifically the characteristics of professional musicians, their impact variables, both musculoskeletal and emotional, variables related to the workplace and to evaluate their quality of life.

This is an Individual Patient Expanded Access IND providing multiple administrations of HBadMSCs for the treatment of Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain. The study duration is approximately 32 weeks, during that time the study subject will complete 1 screening visit, 6 infusion visits, one follow-up visit without infusion and one end of study visit. Next day telephone follow-up visits will occur following each infusion. Efficacy and safety labs as well as quality of life and VAS scores will be obtained.

This study aims to compare the Connective Tissue Motion Measure (CTMM) in low back pain and no-low back pain subjects, evaluate the reliability of the CTMM, and examine the correlation of CTMM with low back pain symptoms, disability, and functional measures. The investigators hypothesize that CTMM will be reduced, on average, in low back pain subjects, that CTMM will be reliable with an intra-class correlation greater than 0.8, and CTMM will negatively correlate with low back pain symptoms, disability and functional measures.

Study hypothesis:- Benign joint hyper mobility syndrome which persists into adulthood is a special type of benign joint hyper mobility which is more likely to predispose to chronic musculoskeletal pain. Young Indian adults aged between 25 and 40 years who are blood donors or relatives of patients admitted as inpatient or presenting to the out patient department, in Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences will be enrolled, after excluding the exclusionary criteria. They will be assessed for the presence of chronic musculoskeletal pain using a validated self filled questionnaire. The primary investigator who will be blinded to their response will examine them for the presence of Benign Joint Hyper mobility Syndrome and for tender points suggestive of fibromyalgia. Primary Objective:- To determine whether chronic musculoskeletal pain is associated with Hypermobility among Indian adults. Study design:- Cross sectional survey

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of genetic testing on healthcare decisions and patient outcomes in interventional pain management clinical care. Results of genetic testing will also be compared with the clinical outcome measures collected to discover novel genetic factors that may influence patient care.

Chronic pain is a common health problem that causes enormous social costs. A common method for treating patients with chronic pain problems are multimodal rehabilitation (MMR), which consists of a combination of physical exercise, cognitive behavioural therapy and work training coordinated in an interdisciplinary team. Our research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of MMR on health, quality of life, physical activity, return to work and health economics, with the long-term goal of developing MMR. We aim also to evaluate predictive factors for good and bad treatment outcomes in order to better adapt the MMR to the patient. The project is based on patient-reported data from the Swedish Quality Registry for Pain Rehabilitation, which routinely collects data from 40 (2017) Swedish specialist MMR clinics from all parts of the country. We expect increased knowledge of treatment effects and how MMR can be effectively adapted according to the patient's limitations and resources. Our project group is interdisciplinary and is active in nationwide research networks that focus on chronic pain and rehabilitation.

The study will determinate influence of four selected physiotherapeutic procedures on the pain intensity and the range of mandibular mobility in patients with myofascial disorders in the SS.
