Musical Intervention During IV-line Placement in Neonates
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of music in reducing the pain felt by newborn children during an intravenous line procedure. An intravenous line is a small tube brought into a vein by using a needle. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does …
Traumatic Long-term Memory of Pain in Humans
Few studies have focused on understanding the mechanisms underlying pain memory in humans. Thus, this project aims to investigate the link between pain memorisation and memorisation of the associated context by addressing the issue of pain conditioning. The study is composed of two successive parts: one pilot then one experimental. …
Opioid-Sparing and Pain-Reducing Properties of Syntocinon: A Dose-Effect Determination
Some research suggests that administration of oxytocin with oxycodone may reduce its abuse liability and improve its ability to reduce pain. In a 6-session laboratory study, the investigators will be evaluating the effects of oxycodone and oxytocin (combined and separately, across sessions) on experimentally-induced pain, subjective effects, decision-making, and activation …
The Potential of Oxytocin to Reduce Opioid Abuse Liability and Pain Among Older Adults
Some research suggests that administration of oxytocin with oxycodone may reduce its abuse liability and improve its ability to reduce pain. In a 6-session laboratory study, we will be evaluating the effects of oxycodone and oxytocin (combined and separately, across sessions) on experimentally-induced pain, subjective effects, and decision-making.
Options for Pain Management Using Nonpharmacological Strategies
The purpose of this study is to help Veterans learn about different ways they can manage chronic pain that do not involve medications. Veterans will work with a coach to explore the Veterans' values and goals and how different non-medication approaches may fit into these values and goals.
Discovery and Analytical Validation of Inflammatory Bio-signatures of the Human Pain Experience
The first objective of the study is to evaluate whether a novel bio-signature (derived from a wide range of pro- and anti-nociceptive IL-1 family cytokine activity) will predict pain experienced and also release of underlying endogenous opioid neurotransmitters during an experimental nociceptive pain challenge, which will be performed while simultaneously …
Study of Low-intensity Focused Ultrasound Effects on Heat Evoked fMRI Signals
Study aims to examine the effects of noninvasive brain stimulation on brain signals. This insight may have potential clinical implications for addiction, pain, and mental health populations. Participants will receive MRI and CT imaging. Participants receive low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) to temporarily change brain activity. Participants then receive fMRI scans …
The Warmth, Anticipation, Sensation, Aversion, and Body-part Imaging Study
This functional magnetic-resonance imaging study of the brain will feature a within-subject crossover design to investigate the effects of a placebo cream on painful thermal stimulation rendered upon eight body sites. The investigators aim to 1.) improve the understanding of how the brain represents thermal pain responses somatotopically (i.e., across …
Virtual Reality for Pain Management in Burn Patients
This study is a randomized proof-of-concept study to assess the efficacy of Virtual Reality (VR) vs standard of care in 50 adult patients in the New York Presbyterian Burn Unit. The participants who are randomized to receive the virtual reality intervention will also receive opioids, which is the standard of …
Paracetamol in Addition to WHO Step III Opioids in Chronic Cancer Pain Control
Blinded withdrawal of regular co-medication with paracetamol in chronic pain patients under strong opioids on pain control.
