Active clinical trials for "Pain"

This is a 2-part study. In Part 1 of the study, subjects will undergo a pain reporting training program in which a painful stimulus will be applied to the subject's hand, and the subjects will be asked to report how painful the stimulus is. Over the course of the pain training sessions, feedback will be provided to the subject about how accurately they are reporting their degree of pain, relative to the amount of pressure stimulus applied to evoke pain. Those subjects who have adequate pain reporting ability will be asked to continue into Part 2 of the study in which 3 different blinded study drugs will be administered to each subject, in a crossover design to compare whether or not the study drugs improve pain associated with diabetic neuropathy.

Neuroma excision and digital nerve reconstruction remain the best option for the treatment of Painful Digital Neuroma (PDN). When the distal nerve end is preserved, conventional nonvascularized nerve grafting is the primary option to bridge the defect. The investigators hypothesize the pedicled nerve flap taken from the dorsal branch of the homolateral digital nerve is better than conventional methods for reconstruction of the digital nerve defect after painful neuroma resection. This study reports treatment of painful digital neuroma using a pedicled nerve flap taken from the dorsal branch of homolateral digital nerve. From May 2007 to March 2010, the patients had previous nerve injuries with or without nerve repair. The mechanisms of injury include sharp cut, avulsion and crush. The defects were between the middle of the distal phalanx and the palmar digital crease.

Assess the pain intensity in a two visit treatment of molars with irreversible pulpitis after instrumentation with two rotary systems Mpro and Hyflex files.

Study CLO-311 is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm study to assess the long-term use of Clonidine Gel in the treatment of pain associated with PDN. Subjects who have completed their 12-week participation in Study CLO-290 or Study CLO-310 are eligible to rollover into this study and receive active study drug in an open-label manner.

We postulate that frequency-modulated electromagnetic stimulation (FREMS) may decrease pain in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy.

The association between pressure pain threshold and different aspects of low back pain has garnered attention over the years. However, since most of such studies in the past employed cross sectional designs, a longitudinal study design with follow-up measurements is required to further investigate this relationship. Studying this relationship will not only offer insights into the phenomenon of pain but may also bring us one step closer to achieving the seemingly insurmountable goal of objectively measuring back pain and its different dimensions.

The purpose of this study is to determine if analgesic efficacy can be detected with single dose administration in patients with chronic neuropathic pain due to painful diabetic neuropathy.

With this study the investigators wish to examine the effect of prayer on pain intensity and on the conditioned pain modulation in healthy religious university students.

This study will evaluate treatment with High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)in combination with ThermoDox (liposomal doxorubicin) is safe and effective in reducing pain for patients with painful bone metastases.

evaluating the two final steps we added to optimize post laparoscopic cholecystectomy pain management.
