Tapentadol Versus Tramadol Analgesia Post Cardiac Surgery

Postoperative PainSurgery11 more

The aim of this randomized one-blinded study will be to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of two different oral doses of tapentadol and compare it to tramadol (an opioid commonly used to treat post-surgical pain) in cardiac surgery patients

rTMS for the Treatment of Neuropathic Pain in Diabetic Patients

Neuropathic PainDiabetic Neuropathies

Tis study aims to assess whether multiple sessions of sham-controlled HF-rTMS applied to the motor cortex significantly reduces treatment-resistant neuropathic pain in diabetic patients. This study will also investigate the effect of those rTMS sessions on functional connectivity of the M1 with brain areas involved in pain processing, underlying brain metabolism and brain plasticity using rs-fMRI, MRS and Paired-pulse stimulation respectively in those patients. Subjects will be randomized into two groups to receive real or sham rTMS protocol. A washout period of at least 8 weeks will be respected between protocols to minimize carry-over effects. Sham stimulation will be delivered using a sham coil, providing the same auditory and sensory stimuli. One daily rTMS session for 5 days of HF-rTMS, will be delivered through an H-coil applied to the primary motor area of the leg. Each session will last 20 minutes during which 30 consecutive trains of 50 stimuli will be delivered at 20 Hz at 100% of resting motor threshold (RMT), with an intertrain interval of 30s

Diode Laser as a Biomarker for Neuropathic Pain of Peripheral Origin.

Peripheral Neuropathy

The R61 will perform a four-part double-blind randomized crossover study transitioning from a pretreatment baseline phase, to randomized treatment with either lidocaine or an identical placebo patch, washout, and alternate arm. DLss measures will be obtained before and after each phase. Twice daily report of pain using a visual analogue scale will track severity of ongoing spontaneous pain in participants. The hybrid biomarker will distinguish between placebo and active treatment arms, will significantly correlate with extent of neuropathic pain reduction during lidocaine, but will not change during the placebo phase or no-treatment lead-in. If preset Go/No-Go criteria are met, the subsequent R33 validation will then compare lidocaine patch and placebo treatment in a blinded, randomized parallel arm study.

An Exercise Intervention to Reduce Neuropathic Pain and Brain Inflammation After Spinal Cord Injury...

Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) leads to alterations in brain structure and function by spinal nerve damage, secondary inflammatory responses, and by the consequences of living with paralysis and neuropathic pain. Physical inactivity due to lower body paralysis rapidly leads to loss of muscle, and risk of heart disease. The leading cause of death after a spinal cord injury is cardiovascular disease, and just a year after injury, those with SCI have a peak exercise capacity half that of the unfit general population. The good news is that aerobic exercise reduces the risk of chronic metabolic and cardiorespiratory diseases, reduces inflammation and pain, and increases mood and quality of life. Exercise can also reduce brain inflammation, enhance endogenous analgesia, and increases the size of the hippocampus. The issue is that muscle paralysis in SCI restricts the ability to achieve the levels of exercise that is necessary for broad analgesic, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective benefits. Arm exercise can have some effects on heart and lung capacity, but the small muscle mass is insufficient to produce more than modest aerobic work. With functional electrical stimulation (FES), leg muscles that are paralyzed can be made to contract, thereby allowing more of the body to be exercised. The full rowing stroke is produced by both the (stimulated) legs and arms, increasing the active muscle mass and resulting in an aerobic work-out that is intensive enough to improve heart, lung, and - maybe - brain function. In this clinical trial of sub-acute spinal cord injured subjects, the investigators will study how 12 weeks of FES-RT, in comparisons to 12 weeks of wait-list, changes pain, brain structure, endogenous opioid function and brain inflammation. The investigators will measure changes using positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The investigators hypothesize a decrease in pain interference, an increase in hippocampal volume, increased endogenous opioid transmission in the periaqueductal gray, and decreased hippocampus neuroinflammation.
