The Pain Intervention Via Video Optimization Trial
Acute Musculoskeletal PainChronic PainThis project tests a brief evidence-based video to help educate patients regarding effective and safe pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies for acute musculoskeletal pain (MSP). Subjects will be randomly placed into one of two study arms: intervention (educational video) and usual care. Patients will be contacted at baseline and at 1 and 3 months after the date of an emergency department (ED) or urgent care encounter for follow-up. The aim of this study is to evaluate the success of the intervention for improving pain recovery and preventing long-term opioid use among adults with musculoskeletal pain. The overarching hypothesis of this work is that complementing prescribing policies with patient education based on a shared decision-making approach to pain management can improve pain recovery and reduce progression to long-term opioid use. The proposed study is innovative because it will be the first clinical trial of a patient-centered intervention designed for the primary prevention of long-term opioid use.
The Power of Touch. Non-Invasive C-Tactile Stimulation for Chronic Osteoarthritis Pain
Chronic PainOsteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease with a prevalence of up to 30% among adults over 45 years old. Moreover, elderly people over 60 years are more prone to develop a chronification of pain symptomatology. Chronic pain in OA enormously restricts patients' ability to perform their daily activities, eliciting psychological distress and mood alterations, and producing massive socioeconomic consequences. For these reasons, any non-invasive drug-free treatment that decreases chronic pain in OA requires serious evaluation. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of noninvasive interoceptive stimulation (affective touch) in treating chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis (OA). This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of noninvasive interoceptive stimulation (affective touch) in treating chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis (OA).
Progressive Relaxation Training Effect On Pain, Activity And Social Participation In Women With...
PainChronic2 moreObjective: The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of PRT on pain characteristics, attack frequency, activity self-efficacy perception, and social participation in women with two different types of headaches, TTH and migraine. Methods: A total of 58 women within the age range of 20 to 45 were screened for eligibility in terms of suitability for participation in the study. Two separate progressive relaxation training sessions were administered to two distinct groups: one comprised of women with TTH and the other consisting of women with migraine. Pre- and post-training assessments were conducted for both groups as follows. Both intervention groups were instructed and trained by a physiotherapist 2times a week for 30 minutes each over 6 weeks,
Digital Therapeutic for Chronic Pain Feasibility Study
Chronic PainThe investigators will conduct a 2-arm randomized control feasibility study to evaluate: 1) the feasibility of using the mobile app and an optional activity tracker, 2) the feasibility of conducting a 2-arm trial, and 3) estimate the effect size for planning for a larger efficacy trial based on our primary outcomes. The intervention arm will test a mobile app that aims to help people reduce pain interference who have chronic pain, as well as mental health issues with depression and anxiety. Participants in the intervention arm will also have the option to sense health data with a tracker that integrates with the app, which will inform the feasibility of this feature.
Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) for Reduction of Chronic Pain and Drug Therapie
Chronic PainMindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) combines ideas of traditional cognitive therapies with meditative practices aimed at cultivating mindfulness. Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) is considered one of the original mindfulness-based interventions. It has been modified to be offered virtually,which has been useful throughout the COVID pandemic, and more importantly, has served to inform other mindfulness approaches, such as trauma-focused therapy. The investigators want to assess the efficacy of MBSR in patients with Chronic Pain undergoing drug treatment.
Effectiveness and Implementation of a Digital Intervention for Pediatric Chronic Pain Co-designed...
Chronic PainChildren and adolescents with chronic pain often lack a proper diagnosis and treatment. Research has shown that, if left untreated, it usually doesn't resolve and continues through adulthood. The goal of this multi-phase study is to co-develop (with patients), test, and implement a smartphone app called "Digital Solution for Pain in Adolescents" (Digital SPA) which can provide pain management resources to children with chronic pain and their parents, preventing future disability. Participants will: participate in individual and group interviews, respond to questionnaires online and try a smartphone app (adolescents) or a website (parents).
