SCS for Patient With Painful Diabetic Neuropathy and Peripheral Arterial Disease
The study involves permanent spinal cord stimulator (SCS) placement in participants with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN). Participants will be between 19 and 89 years old, have diabetes with symptoms of neuropathy, and have a starting pain level of at least 5 cm on a visual …
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 …
Effect of Virtual Reality and Music Therapy on Pain Relief in OPH Operations
Outpatient hysteroscopy can serve as a diagnostic procedure to evaluate for abnormal uterine bleeding, such as menorrhagia or postmenopausal bleeding. This study focuses on the therapeutic aspect of outpatient hysteroscopy, such as myomectomy, polypectomy, intrauterine adhesiolysis and removal of lost intrauterine devices, etc. Apart from the conventional polyp scissors and …
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 …
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 …
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.
Effects of Dronabinol in Opioid Maintained Patients
Twenty male and female (ages 18-70) participants with OUD currently receiving methadone or buprenorphine will be enrolled. Prior to their daily methadone or buprenorphine dose and thus at trough plasma levels of opioid, participants will receive dronabinol (2.5 mg, 5mg) or placebo. Subsequently, all participants will undergo laboratory testing of …
