Active clinical trials for "Chronic Pain"

The aim of this study is to evaluate whether preoperative CT- guided hookwire localization would influence the incidence and intensity of acute and chronic pain after VATS.

Considering that in 82.1% of cases it is not possible to achieve a positive result of treatment, the data of our study will play an important role in the treatment of such patients.

Mine-explosive wounds in the general structure of combat sanitary losses reach 25%. They are characterized by significant damage resulting in high intensity pain. In patients who received mine-explosive injuries in the conditions of hostilities, such pain has its own unique features. It is necessary to pay more attention to the problem of pain treatment in patients of this category, because about 87.2% of cases have negative results of treatment - it becomes chronic.

In 82.1% of patients with gunshot and mine-explosive injuries, the pain becomes chronic. The impact of the results of surgical treatment on the processes of chronic pain in this category of patients remains insufficiently studied. Therefore, the study of such a factor will be important to improve the results of pain treatment.

This study aimed to determine the relationship between the quadratus lumborum and erector spinae plane block technique and the incidence and severity of chronic post-surgical pain in accordance with Brief Pain Inventory Score (BPI) in retroperitoneal laparoscopic living kidney donor surgery

The aim of this retrospective study is to determine the factors affecting the development of chronic pain in patients with thoracotomy in the Thoracic Surgery Operating Rooms of İbn-i Sina Hospital. By identifying these factors, it is aimed to apply the necessary treatments to prevent the development of chronic pain and to improve patient outcomes.

Acceptance of chronic pain is becoming an increasingly important issue in the field of pain management. Many researchers argue that patients who accept pain better function better both physically and psychologically. In many countries, the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire - 8 (CPAQ-8) has been frequently validated and used to measure the pain acceptance of patients with chronic pain.1 However, the CPAQ-8 has not yet been introduced and validated in Turkey. In this study, we aimed to translate the English version of CPAQ-8 into Turkish, make correct cross-cultural adaptations, and validate the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of CPAQ-8 by testing it in Turkish fibromyalgia patients.

Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is associated with recurrent intractable abdominal pain, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency and endocrine dysfunction. Very few studies had evaluated the quality of life in CP, and even a fewer have assessed the mental status in these patients. In the current study, we proposed to evaluate the the relationship between pain, quality of life and depression status in two large independent cohorts of patients with CP. We also proposed to evaluate the brain metabolites in the right and left anterior cingulate cortex, basal ganglia, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex using magnetic resonance spectroscopy. We further proposed to evaluate the pasta metabolites and look for associations with the mental state. Finally, we proposed to evaluate how CP related education of the patients could impact on their mental status and response to interventions on pain.

The objective of this multicentre study is to collect electrophysiological and device data from the Evoke Closed-Loop SCS system in the treatment of chronic pain of the trunk and/or limbs, in a real world setting under normal conditions of use.

The goal of this study is to evaluate a chronic pain seminar series, Flippin' Pain. The primary aim is to examine the impact of the seminars on attendees' beliefs and perceptions of the following with regards to chronic pain: medications, surgery, physical activity, and scans. A secondary aim is to examine attendees' experience of the seminar events. Seminar attendees included people with chronic pain and on an NHS waiting list for treatment, people with chronic pain and not on an NHS waiting list for treatment, healthcare professionals and non-healthcare professionals without chronic pain.
