Spatiotemporal Thalamocortical Alterations Underlie Experimental and Chronic Pain
The purpose of this study is to assess thalamocortical (TC) connectivity during tonic pressure pain, to evaluate alpha activity during tonic pressure pain and to determine pressure pain ratings by using Electroencephalography (EEG), Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS), sham and Transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS)
Generate and Test the Reliability of a PD Model of OXT on Pupillary Hippus as a Measure of CNS Activity
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effects of oxytocin (naturally occurring hormone) given by an intramuscular (IM; into the muscle) injection, has on your parasympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system is the part of the involuntary nervous system that is sometimes called the "rest and digest" …
Preventing the Development of Chronic Pain: Treating PTSD at Acute Pain Onset
Although most people recover from acute pain (such as pain caused by injury, surgery, repetitive motion, or unknown causes), many people do not fully recover and will experience chronic pain. Untreated posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) appears to be a key risk factor for the transition from acute pain to chronic …
The PROACTIVE Study for Black Elders
Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP), while a leading cause of physical disablement, is a neglected national health disparity issue in Black communities. The purpose of this study is to test a novel culturally congruent pain self-management intervention. A total of 120 persons aged 50-92, self-identifying as Black or African American having …
The Effects of Focal Muscle Vibration Combined With Exercise on Sensorimotor Activity in Individuals With Chronic Subacromial Impingement Syndrome
Background: Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) is a common shoulder disorder characterized by pain, altered movement patterns, and functional impairment. Forty-four to sixty-five percents of the patients with SIS would develop chronic symptoms. Chronic subacromial impingement syndrome (CSIS) is involved in the alteration of central nervous system, such as somatosensory dysfunction …
Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound and the Complex Patient
Studying the effects of Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound (LIFU) on measures of pain, craving, and anxiety in a complex patient population.
Predictors of Pain in Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle cell disease is a painful inherited disorder that affects approximately 100,000 people in the United States, and more than half of these individuals develop chronic or persistent pain that is often severe and disabling. The factors that predict whether an individual with sickle cell disease will develop severe, disabling …
Neuromodulation + Prolonged Exposure Therapy: Evaluation of a Technology-Enhanced, Integrated Treatment for Pain and PTSD
The purpose of this study is to examine comparative effectiveness of two home-based telemedicine delivered interventions: transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) combined with Massed Prolonged Exposure (Massed-PE) vs. Sham tDCS combined with Massed PE, focusing on pain and PTSD outcomes, to determine the comparative effectiveness of the two interventions on …
Improving Sleep and Reducing Opioid Use in Individuals With Chronic Pain
The goal of this study is to test two behavioral interventions for chronic insomnia in individuals with chronic pain and use prescribed opioid medication to treat their chronic pain.
Telemedicine Intervention in Patients With Chronic Pain in PD
Pain is a very common and disabling symptom in Parkinson's disease, yet it is often untreated. This study will assess the impact of home-based physical and cognitive exercise interventions to reduce pain in this disease. This approach would offer an easily implemented and affordable way to encourage and maintain use …
