Chronic Pain Diagnosis and Treatment in Torture Survivors

PainPain1 more

The goal Aim 1 of this investigation is to characterize the diagnosis of chronic pain in torture survivors. The investigators hypothesize that using a validated pain screen to supplement the existing United Nations Istanbul Protocol can improve the ability to detect pain from 15% to 90% in this study population. Investigators will test this hypothesis by conducting a prospective, blind comparison to gold standard study. The goal of Aim 2 is to evaluate the acceptability of somatic pain treatment using qualitative interviews of torture survivors. The goal of Aim 3 is to assess the feasibility of recruiting and retaining participants in a digital pain program over six months.

Opioid-use DisorderOpioid Use1 more

The objective of this research is to assess the effects of electronic health record (EHR)-based decision support tools on primary care provider (PCP) decision-making around pain treatment and opioid prescribing. The decision support tools are informed by principles of "behavioral economics," whereby clinicians are "nudged," though never forced, towards guideline-concordant care.

Contribution of Online Stress and Pain Mindfulness Treatment to ACT Process Change and Outcomes...

Chronic Pain

Mindfulness is a popular set of knowledge and practical techniques that can help people cope with stress. It includes meditation practices, everyday small practices to break and change usual habits, as well as understanding and developing competencies to be more aware of thoughts, emotions and physical sensations. Mindfulness can help not to excessively react to them, or becoming distressed by these, as well as pain. In persistent pain (pain that lasts more than three months), mindfulness is thought to improve depression, quality of life, and even how sore people feel. There are numerous versions of mindfulness and mindfulness-based therapies. One approach, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), is based on science (as opposed to religion or common sense). ACT helps people to learn about and apply skills to cope with thoughts, emotions and sensations without getting upset, distracted or impeded by them. It also assists people to develop the ability to set clear goals that matter in their life. ACT evaluates successful outcomes in this areas (called 'processes') and how these link to changes in pain, mood and stress. However, more puritan mindfulness courses tend to only focus on the latter. Research on mindfulness courses for chronic pain, can show that people improve, but not so well what changes in people's experience and skills, or how such skills are applied. The investigators also know that pain sufferers who attend mindfulness courses for stress, may say it is not so relevant to their pain difficulties. In this study the investigators want to explore how both mindfulness for stress and mindfulness for pain courses, online, contribute to: How specific areas of ACT and other mindfulness learning change If/how these link with practical skills and any emotional or improvements in the participants' quality of life, use of medication or GP visits. If/how the above correlate with physiological stress responses such a heart rate variability To help us evaluate this, the investigators will ask participants to complete scientifically accepted questionnaires and interview a proportion of participants. Some may be invited to wear portable heart rate monitors. The investigators will then use statistical methods and qualitative methods to evaluate change. This may help us with better supporting chronic pain sufferers with choices around mindfulness as a standalone or as part of attending intensive pain-coping programmes involving different professions.

CANPAIN Feasibility Study Pragmatic Real World Trial Investigating CBMP in Chronic Pain Patients...

Chronic Pain

The CANPAIN study has been devised to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a defined cannabis based medicinal product (CBMP) delivered by inhalation to patients with non cancer chronic pain attending a private clinic. CANPAIN is a pragmatic non-randomised, non-blinded real-world trial of the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of a cannabis based medicinal product (CBMP) for the treatment of chronic non-cancer pain compared against matched controls receiving standard of care pain management. CANPAIN will run for 3 years with a minimal planned sample size of 5000 participants per group who have completed at least 12 months of treatment. CANPAIN will be an MHRA and REC approved study. (See Appendix 1 of the Feasibility Study for the full draft protocol of the CANPAIN Study) Prior to commencing the CANPAIN study, the sponsor proposes to conduct a feasibility study. This study will aid in establishing likely rates of patient recruitment, duration of participant enrolment in the study, the demographic and geographic spread of patients, patient acceptability of data collection and identify any issues with technological and drug delivery logistics.
