Virtual Reality for Port-a-Cath Access
Children with cancer almost universally receive port-a-catheters (ports) to deliver medication, fluids, blood products, and conduct blood tests. Port access requires a needle inserted through the skin to the subcutaneous tissue. Despite the application of topical anesthetic, port access can be painful and anxiety producing. Virtual reality (VR) interfaces provide …
Perineal Massage in Women With Gynecological Cancer
The high incidence of gynecological cancers, together with dyspareunia and vaginal stenosis, some of its most frequent sequelae, create the need to continue studying and researching oncological physiotherapy techniques that treat and prevent these sequelae, in order to preserve and/or improve the quality of life of cancer patients. Therefore, through …
Auriculo-Nerve Stimulation on Post-Operative Opioid Requirement
The NSS-2 BRIDGE® device (NSS stands for Neuro-Stimulation System) is a disposable device that stimulates the branches of cranial nerves and of the superficial cervical plexus innervating the ear. Because the stimulation of the nerves of the ear by the NSS-2 BRIDGE® device (NBD®) has been shown to modulate pain …
PARASTOP - Paracetamol With Strong Opioids
Current guidelines recommend all people with cancer-related pain should be prescribed paracetamol, even those receiving high doses of strong pain killers (opioids) such as morphine. Although this has been shown in studies to be beneficial in other conditions, for instance dental work and after surgery, it has not been shown …
Virtual Reality Therapy for Cancer-Treatment Associated Symptoms
We propose an innovative approach to symptom management in cancer patients following cancer treatments, utilizing a Multimodal Integrative Therapy (MIT) delivered via Virtual Reality (VR) program, authorized by the US Food and Drug Administration for in-home use. Our primary goal is to generate pilot data on the effects of MIT-VR …
Refining mUltiple Artificial intelliGence strateGies for Automatic Pain Assessment Investigations: RUGGI Study
This single-center, non-profit, observational-interventional study aims to develop artificial intelligence (AI) models for the automatic assessment of chronic pain (APA - Automatic Pain Assessment). The study will enroll adult patients with chronic pain of various origins (oncologic and non-oncologic). Participants will undergo multidimensional evaluations that include clinical assessments, self-report questionnaires, …
Evaluation of the Medical Service by Socio-aesthetics in Oncology
the 3-year randomized controlled RCT-SE study aims to investigate Socio-aesthetics well being care on quality of life, pain and anxiety. The primary objective is to show that socio-aesthetics well being care improves quality of life during cancer treatment, compared to self care administration of dermo-cosmetics products The secondary objectives are …
Risk of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events for Naldemedine and Other Medications for Opioid Induced Constipation in Adults With Chronic Non-Cancer Pain
The research objective is to characterize the risk of a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) among new users of naldemedine versus new users of lubiprostone and new users of naloxegol as comparator opioid induced constipation (OIC) medications.
Implementation of Personalized Medicine for Optimal Drug Therapy in Cancer
A prospective longitudinal cohort study that will assess the effect of a Personalized Medicine (PM) clinic recommendations on pharmacogenetic variation and/or interacting drugs on plasma drug exposure, effectiveness or toxicity of commonly used antidepressant, pain, and antiemetic medications in cancer patients. Such recommendations will entail genotype-guided treatment suggestions while also …
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 …
