Validating a Clinical Prediction Rule to Guide Manual Therapy and Exercise for Neck Pain Relief in 140 Participants With Neck Pain
Neck pain is a common issue that can lead to long-term disability and lost work time for many individuals. Despite numerous studies, finding effective treatment strategies has been challenging. One possible reason for this is that treatments may not have been tested on the specific groups of people who would …
Assessment of Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) and Conditioned Pain Modulation (CPM) After Effect in Patients With and Without Tennis Elbow (TE)
This study at Hashemite University looks at how people with and without tennis elbow (AKA lateral elbow tendinopathy) feel pressure pain and how their bodies briefly "turn down" pain after a cold stimulus. Participants complete brief questionnaires (basic demographics without names, a tennis-elbow symptom form, and a physical-activity form) and …

The "polytrauma clinical triad" (PCT), a highly disabling constellation of factors, is defined by the coexistence of traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, and chronic pain. Veterans with the PCT are medically complex, often refractory to conventional therapies, and suffer from additional related chronic sequela. Notably, sleep disturbances and cognitive …
Dexmedetomidine Versus Lidocaine Infusions as Adjuvants to General Anesthesia for Chronic Pain Management After Mastectomy
This study aims to compare dexmedetomidine and lidocaine infusions as adjuvants to general anesthesia for chronic pain management after mastectomy.
Cannabidiol and Older Adult Cannabis Users
Cannabis use increased 10 fold among adults over the age of 65 between 2014 and 2016 but very little data exists on the extent of their harmful effects on health and behavior. The overarching goal of this project is to test a novel harm reduction strategy in which older individuals …
Opioid Sparing Anesthesia Care for Pediatric Patients Having Tonsil Surgery
This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, non-inferiority study of patients undergoing tonsil surgeries at Boston Children's Hospital Waltham. The overall aim is to evaluate the efficacy of an opioid anesthetic plan (morphine, ketorolac, and acetaminophen versus an opioid sparing anesthetic plan (dexmedetomidine, ketorolac and acetaminophen) for perioperative analgesia and recovery …

The Effect of Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation on Brain Characteristics, Pain Intensity, and Cognitive Functions in Older People with Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the effects of accelerated intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS) on pain relief and cognitive function in older adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain. It will also utilize magnetic resonance imaging to illustrate the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the role of iTBS in improving …
Effects of Schroth-Based Exercise on Kyphosis Angle, Muscle Strength, Balance, Pain, and Quality of Life in Hyperkyphosis With Chronic Neck Pain
The normal thoracic kyphosis angle of the spine is 20-40°, however, an angle of more than 40° is referred to as postural kyphosis, increased kyphosis or hyperkyphosis. Although postural kyphosis negatively affects individuals' general health status, physical performance, and quality of life, there is still no standardized protocol for correcting …
