Irritable Bowel SyndromeFunctional Abdominal Pain Syndrome4 moreThe purpose of this study is find out if we can use simple tests (biomarkers) to tell us if a specific child would benefit most from CBT or from the low FODMAPs diet.
Use of Aromatherapy in Conjunction With Physical/Occupational Therapy in an Acute Care Setting
SufferingPhysical1 moreUse of inhaled essential oils to reduce the symptoms of pain or nausea, enabling a patient to have increase participation with PT or OT, thereby minimizing hospitalization-related risks and potentially reducing the length of stay in the hospital.
Virtual Reality Application on Pain Intensity and Anxiety Level in Endoscopy Patients
AnxietyWith the virtual reality application in patients with bronchoscopy, it is aimed to reduce the fear, stress and tension arising from the possibility of the development of pain and complications in the patients. The research will be carried out in the form of pretest-posttest application with 30 experimental and 30 control groups. The researcher aims to minimize the fear and stress in the patient by applying the virtual reality application to the patient in the experimental group 10 minutes before the procedure and 5-10 minutes during the procedure.

MediationMood10 moreThis study will include any participant who registered, and plans to attend the Inner Engineering In-Person Completion Course. In 2019, this course was offered in: Los Angeles in March, Philadelphia in April and Toronto & Dallas in November. This study has been involved in every IECO Course since 2019 and is still active today. Beginning in August 2021, investigators will recruit for the August Inner Engineering In-Person Completion Course. Investigators anticipate that this study can include up to 5,000 study participants. Participants would attend this course and complete the pre-modules regardless of whether or not they participate in this study.

Surgery Prevention by Transforaminal Injection of Epidural Steroids for Cervical Radicular Pain...
PainRadiatingCervical radicular pain is a common cause of disability and pain in the upper extremity and neck with an annual incidence of 83.2/100,000 (1). The initial treatment is conservative and includes relative rest, use of anti-inflammatory and analgesic medication, as well as physical therapy and home exercise. For patients who have persistent and significant symptoms, interventional pain management and surgical management are considered. Cervical epidural injections are the mainstay of the interventional, non-surgical modalities. They can be considered to provide short and long-term relief when disc herniation, foraminal stenosis or central canal stenosis pathology is identified. We are not aware of any published prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blinded studies demonstrating the efficacy of cervical transforaminal epidural steroid injections. However, the North American Spine Society (NASS) Review and Recommendation Statement states that based on the literature and expert opinion, a minimum of one or two cervical epidural steroid injections would be very appropriate in the treatment of a specific episode of cervical radicular pain. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of cervical transforaminal epidural steroid injections in decreasing the need for an operation in patients with cervical radicular pain, otherwise considered to be operative candidates.
Study to Assess Safety and Efficacy of Engensis in Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
Diabetic NeuropathyPainfulThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intramuscular (IM) administration of Engensis on pain in participants with painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in the feet and lower legs, as compared to Placebo, as a second Phase 3, well controlled study, sufficient in supporting the efficacy and safety of Engensis.

Assessing Symptom and Mood Dynamics in Pain Using the Smartphone Application SOMA
Chronic PainAcute Pain24 moreThis study relies on the use of a smartphone application (SOMA) that the investigators developed for tracking daily mood, pain, and activity status in acute pain, chronic pain, and healthy controls over four months.The primary goal of the study is to use fluctuations in daily self-reported symptoms to identify computational predictors of acute-chronic pain transition, pain recovery, and/or chronic pain maintenance or flareups. The general study will include anyone with current acute or chronic pain, while a smaller sub-study will use a subset of patients from the chronic pain group who have been diagnosed with chronic low back pain, failed back surgery syndrome, or fibromyalgia. These sub-study participants will first take part in one in-person EEG testing session while completing simple interoception and reinforcement learning tasks and then begin daily use of the SOMA app. Electrophysiologic and behavioral data from the EEG testing session will be used to determine predictors of treatment response in the sub-study.
