Chronic Insomnia in Non-Cancer Pain Patients
Pain and sleep are closely linked physiological processes that support overall health and functioning. Increasing evidence shows a dynamic, bidirectional relationship: poor sleep increases pain sensitivity, while chronic pain disrupts normal sleep. Both conditions are highly prevalent and significantly impair quality of life, making them major public health concerns. Chronic …
Ziconotide for Non-cancer Pain by Intrathecal Administration
Although ziconotide's marketing authorization does not restrict its use to a given type of pain, the drug has been used mainly in cancer patients. Most data on ziconotide-based intrathecal (IT) treatment has therefore been obtained in this population, for whom the drug's place is clearly documented (national and international recommendations). …
Cancer Pain Management Using a Web-based Intervention
This study is funded by the HEAL Initiative (https://heal.nih.gov/). Based on Preliminary Studies (PSs), the research team developed and pilot-tested an evidence-based Web App-based information and coaching/support program for cancer pain management (CAPA) that was culturally tailored to Asian American breast cancer survivors using multiple unique features. However, CAPA rarely …
Defining TRPV4 Contribution of Schwann Cells to Oral Cancer Pain
This is a prospective study involving human participants. Pressure and stretch sensitivity measures between oral cancer patients and healthy subjects will be compared. Pain stimulation will be conducted on the site of the cancer in 40 oral cancer patients, and on the tongue in 40 healthy volunteers, using pressure and …
Virtual Reality for GI Cancer Pain to Improve Patient Reported Outcomes
Patients with digestive tract malignancy often experience severe and unremitting abdominal pain that negatively affects physical, emotional, and social function, as well as health related quality of life (HRQOL). Therapeutic virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a promising and evidence-based treatment modality for cancer pain. Users of VR wear a …
Cognitive Behavioral Theory-assisted Virtual Reality for Chronic CANcer Pain (VR-CAN)
While chronic cancer pain affecting as many as 75% of patients is typically addressed using pharmacologic interventions, experts and patients alike support maximizing any relevant non-pharmacologic interventions as well, such as cognitive behavioral therapy. Virtual reality, a novel technology that can temporarily immerse users in a calm, pleasant environment, has …
Transdiscal vs Paravertebral Neurolytic Splanchnic Nerve Block for Upper Abdominal Cancer Pain
This study aims to compare the efficacy of fluoroscopy-guided paravertebral (PV) and transdiscal (TD) approaches for splanchnic nerve neurolysis in patients with upper abdominal cancer-related pain (e.g., gastric, pancreatic, and hepatic malignancies). Treatment response will be assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and the impact of both techniques on …
Developing a Multimodal Cancer Pain Database to Support AI-Based Automatic Pain Assessment
The goal of this observational study is to collect short video and sound recordings of people with cancer to create a secure database that can be used in future research to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) tool for pain assessment. The main aim is to build a large, high-quality collection …
A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Web-based Platform for Cancer Pain Management
Malignant tumors are one of the major public health problems in China, and cancer pain is a common symptom in tumor patients, affecting the quality of life. In rural areas, cancer pain management is challenging due to insufficient medical resources and limitations in understanding cancer pain. Investigators plan to develop …
Phase I Study of sss40 Injection for Moderate-to-Severe Bone Metastatic Cancer Pain
This is a Phase Ib/IIa, multicenter, sequential clinical trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary efficacy of SSS40 injection in patients with moderate-to-severe bone metastatic cancer pain. The study includes two stages: a single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion Phase Ib followed by a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase IIa.
