Active clinical trials for "Chronic Pain"

The objective of this observational, prospective study is to evaluate the incidence of chronic pain at 3 months after ICU discharge in patients with a prolonged ICU stay (i.e. ≥3 days). Investigators will assess the proportion of patients with chronic pain (defined according to the Brief Pain Inventory questionnaire), by interview at 3 months after ICU discharge. All data potentially associated with chronic pain will be collected, including the type of surgery, the acute pain (intensity and duration) during the ICU stay, the type and dose of opioids received, patients comorbidity... Patients will be follow-up at 6 and 12 months to identify impact on quality of life.

The primary objective of this study is to explore the feasibility and acceptability of the delivery of educational content using a virtual reality headset in the setting of an outpatient physical therapy (PT) course of care for chronic low back pain. We aim to collect both qualitative and quantitative data regarding: 1) specifics of device use in the course of PT care 2) acceptability of both the content and delivery method from the therapist and subject perspective 3) subject attributes to characterize the study population and explore possible associations with content responses and 4) changes in pain knowledge from pre to post intervention. Information learned in this pilot study will assist us in 1) improving the content and delivery method of a chronic pain education program 2) implementing the program across the Spaulding rehabilitation network and 3) designing a more rigorous effectiveness trial.

The investigators aim to validate if a digital tool for increased self-management of chronic pain can improve the quality of life for patients with chronic pain. The validation is based on the change in pain interference (Quality of life), pain intensity, physical functioning, depression, and anxiety based on self-reported information from baseline to study end.

The main objective for investigators is to determine the prevalence of moderate to severe chronic pain in the adult population 6 months after consultation in the emergency department for acute pain (less than 7 days old) and severe pain assessed at admission and defined as greater than or equal to 6/10 by the numerical pain scale.

This is a pilot feasibility and usability study of a virtual reality device for patients with chronic pain.

In a context where yoga is more and more popularized in France and in Europe, and where Yogatherapy (as complementary medicine) begins to make its place in the care of patients in French hospitals, it seems interesting to study the impact of yoga in the chronic pain patient treated in a specific pain consultation by this non-pharmacological approach, and accessible.

It is well known that patients suffering from chronic pain report higher levels of pain, anxiety, and depression if they have experienced a traumatic event. However, little is know about pain area and widespreadness. In this retrospective study, we want to investigate whether pain area and widespreadness differs in chronic pain patients with and without traumatic events. To test this hypothesis we will retrospectively analyse pain drawings collected at the pain outpatient department from Hannover Medical School. Participants will be divided into four groups depending on the severity of their traumatic events: no trauma; accidental trauma; interpersonal trauma; post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The aim of this project is to increase scientific understanding of whether the trait of SPS can help explain increased pain sensitivity and hence vulnerability for chronic pain. Additionally, it will be tested whether participants with high SPS report differences in pain intensity in response to positive, negative, or neutral mood induction compared to individuals with lower SPS.

Marginalized populations are at increased risk of chronic pain, trauma and use of street drugs to manage this suffering, with the associated risk of overdoses. Non-pharmacological options to manage chronic pain are difficult for this population to access. myoActivation® is an innovative structured assessment and therapeutic approach. This study will be conducted in the Vancouver Community Primary Care Chronic Pain Service and will include myoActivation and physiotherapy. The study will include sixty patients who seek care on a Tuesday, the only day that myoActivation is offered, and will examine the impact of these treatments on pain outcomes, function and quality of life.

This study was planned to adapt the Vanderbilt Multidimensional Pain Coping Inventory into Turkish, to investigate its cultural adaptation, validity and reliability. The study was completed with 352 volunteers who fulfilled the criteria to be included in the Rheumatology Clinic of Istanbul Haydarpaşa Numune Training and Research Hospital. Data collection tools used in the study; Demographic Data Form, Mcgill and Melzack Pain Questionnaire, Short Form-36 (SF-36), Vanderbilt Multidimensional Pain Coping Inventory (VMPCI), Pain Coping Inventory (PCI), Pain Coping Scale were used.
