Active clinical trials for "Somatoform Disorders"

The investigators aim in this study is to evaluate myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) related websites in terms of the quality and the readability of the information. Also, to identify the typologies of websites that provide high-quality information about MPS.

Participants between the ages of 18-64 who were diagnosed with cervical myofascial pain syndrome will be included in the study. cervical sagittal parameters, numerical pain rating scale, Bournemouth neck questionnaire and cervical range of motion will be measured and evaluated.

This research proposal aims to investigate the potential use of Infrared (FLIR) imaging to monitor the successful achievement of the sympathetic blockade in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).

With the rapid aging and worsening psychological problems worldwide, the special focus on somatic symptom and other psychological diseases of the older population is needed. However, there is no research comparing the incidence of somatic symptom between elderly and non-elderly, and clinical relevance with somatic symptom is uncertain. The study aims to clarify the prevalence of somatic symptom, depression and anxiety disorders in China, to compare physical and psychological difference between the elderly and non-elderly and to explore risk factors for somatic symptom in the elderly.

The aim of the present investigation was to perform the content and construct validation of the diagnostic criteria for TMD (DC/TMD) Axis I, for children 7 to 11 years old. A Delphi process was used to perfom the content validity of the DC/TMD Axis I. 189 7-11 years old children were assessed with the adapted instrument. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to investigate construct validity of the DC/TMD for children. A baseline one-factor model was compared against a two-factor (Model 2) and a seven-factor (Model 3) models based on the original DC/TMD. Root-mean-squared error of approximation (RMSEA), comparative fit index (CFI), chi-square, change in chi-square and Cronbach's Alpha were used to analyze the data. All analysis were performed in STATA© version 13.0.

The aim of our study was to evaluate whether there is a higher prevalence of anxiety-depressive disorders in women with interstitial cystitis than in women with chronic non-neoplastic pain with or without fibromyalgia, to examine possible correlations between urological and psychiatric symptoms, analyze how urological symptoms affect psychological dimension, and how specific stress or trauma can contribute to the onset of interstitial cystitis.

The main objective of the study is to determine the inter-evaluator and intra-evaluator reproducibility of the FMS test as an evaluation tool in amateur rugby players. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the abilities of the FMS test as a predictive tool for detecting possible injuries during a sports season in amateur rugby players.

Study hypothesis:- Benign joint hyper mobility syndrome which persists into adulthood is a special type of benign joint hyper mobility which is more likely to predispose to chronic musculoskeletal pain. Young Indian adults aged between 25 and 40 years who are blood donors or relatives of patients admitted as inpatient or presenting to the out patient department, in Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences will be enrolled, after excluding the exclusionary criteria. They will be assessed for the presence of chronic musculoskeletal pain using a validated self filled questionnaire. The primary investigator who will be blinded to their response will examine them for the presence of Benign Joint Hyper mobility Syndrome and for tender points suggestive of fibromyalgia. Primary Objective:- To determine whether chronic musculoskeletal pain is associated with Hypermobility among Indian adults. Study design:- Cross sectional survey

Introduction: Studies focusing on back pain do not compare different types of back pain diagnosis in relation to a specific psychiatric comorbidity, nor if the presence of psychiatric comorbidity affects treatment. There are limited knowledge on pharmacological treatment of back pain disorders,and especially if the presence of psychiatric comorbidity is an ad-on to the dosage of medication prescribed. Investigating the use of opioids and other pain medication in back patients and the potential effect of concomitant psychiatric comorbidity as well as taking psychiatric medication under consideration is therefore relevant. Aim: This aim of this PhD thesis is: 1) to estimate the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity in patients with back pain disorders (BPD) compared to patients with no back pain. 2) Investigate if psychiatric comorbidity affects the type of treatment given. 3) Examine if the presence of psychiatric comorbidity affects the levels of pharmacological treatment given with a focus on both pain medication, such as opioids, as well as treatment with psychotropic medication. Methods:The association between back pain disorders and psychiatric comorbidity will be investigated using population-based registry data. The population will be defined as adult patients (+18) with a relevant back pain disorder using The National Danish Patient Registry. The following registries will be also utilized: A subdivision of the DNPR, the National Patient Registry - Psychiatry (NPD-Psych), The Danish National Prescription Database, The Danish National Health Service Register and the DREAM database. By using the Danish Civil Registry and the unique personal identification number assigned to all Danish citizens at birth, data across registries can be linked on an individual level. Ethics:The Region of Southern Denmark is the data controller for this project, and it is included in their records of personal data processing activities (file no. (18/3337).). Additional approvals or consents were not needed for this project based exclusively on national registries according to Danish law. The data processing was conducted according to EU and Danish legislation on processing of sensitive personal information and, as complies with internal regulations from the Region of Southern Denmark.

Phase 1 of this multi-centre, prospective study aims to obtain a precise estimate of the local incidence of PMPS and identify biopsychosocial risk factors contributing to the development of PMPS. Recognition of the impact of PMPS on function and mood and quality of life in cancer survivors, and identification of risk factors would help physicians institute appropriate pre-operative counselling and preventive measures to reduce the development of PMPS. The investigators aim to follow up on the long-term multi-dimensional effects of PMPS, and continue to develop and validate a risk prediction model for patients at risk of PMPS in the next phase of the study.
