Photobiomodulation for Lower Back Pain Post Spinal Fusion and Decompression Surgery
After spinal fusion and decompression surgery there is a possible risk of developing chronic back pain. After surgery there is typically inflammation around the operation site and this inflammation can be painful and debilitating to patients. Many possible treatment plans have been incorporated to assist the patient with recovery - …
Oral Acetaminophen for Post-Op Pain Management in Bariatric Surgery Patients
Adult patients with morbid obesity who have had Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) surgery have impaired drug metabolism. There is a paucity of information available on how these patients metabolize acetaminophen post operatively and if drug preparation has any effect on achieving adequate pain control. The …
Cryoablation Effects on Acute and Chronic Pain After Thoracotomy and Thoracoscopy
The researchers will compare the common methods of post-surgical pain control, such as epidural or intercostal nerve block with a newer method called cryoablation. The research team is conducting this study to determine if cryoablation provides more effective pain control when compared to an epidural or intercostal nerve block.
The Role of Synovectomy in Pain Reduction Following Total Knee Arthroplasty
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease, causing severe pain due to joint inflammation (synovitis). While total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is commonly performed to reduce pain, 20% of patients are dissatisfied with their outcome post-surgery. This dissatisfaction is caused by persistent pain post-TKA due to synovitis that is not …
Serratus Posterior Superior Plane Block for Postoperative Pain in Cardiac Surgery
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of bilateral serratus posterior superior intercostal plane (SPSIP) block on postoperative acute pain and opioid consumption in patients undergoing on-pump open-heart surgery. Postoperative outcomes including pain scores, cumulative morphine use, quality of recovery, and opioid-related side effects will be evaluated …
Temporomandibular Joint Function, Oral Habits and Pain Complaints of Pregnant Women
The aim of this study is to examine the temporomandibular joint functions, oral habits and pain complaints of pregnant women. .
Network-Based vs. Standardized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Chronic Primary Pain
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has been shown to be an effective treatment for chronic primary pain (CPP), but overall effect sizes are small to moderate. Process orientation, personalization, and data-driven clinical decision-making may be able to address the heterogeneity among people with CPP and are thus promising ways to increase the …
Expressive Art Therapy for Elder Adults With Chronic Low Back Pain
This research project aims to assess the feasibility of expressive art therapy for elderly adults with chronic low back pain and to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of combining art therapy with exercise intervention. Additionally, the study will investigate facilitators and barriers to participation. A mixed-methods approach will be employed, including …
Objective Integrated Multimodal Electrophysiological Index for the Quantification of Visceral Pain
The objectives of the study are to 1) Conduct telemetric biosignals (EDA, ECG, and EMG) recording in healthy controls and IBS participants experiencing cutaneous and visceral pain; and 2) Validate the OIME index as a biomarker for quantifying pain in IBS participants and its capability to assess the treatment of …
The Erector Spinae Plane Block For Gastrointestinal Malignancy Pain Treatment (EGIPT)
This study will target patients with gastrointestinal (GI) malignancy who present to any of 4 Penn Medicine emergency departments (EDs) with intractable abdominal pain. We will offer eligible patients an erector spinae plane block (ESPB), a regional anesthesia technique which is already offered to such patients in the ED at …
