Neural and Psychological Mechanisms of Pain Perception
Background Painful stimuli cause changes in a network of brain regions called the "Pain Matrix." But most of these regions respond to many other stimuli, not just pain. Researchers want to understand how different factors influence pain. They want to test what happens when people expect different levels of pain …
Efficacy of Korean Manupuncture on Pain in Women With Endometriosis: a Parallel-group Randomized Controlled Trial
Endometriosis is defined as the presence and development of hormone-dependent endometrial tissue comprising both glands and stroma outside the endometrium and myometrium. It affects 10-15% of women of childbearing age; of these, 25% are diagnosed following a consultation for infertility, and 25% following a consultation for pelvic pain. This disease …
Association Between Body Composition and Pain in Spinal Cord Injury
The purposes of the study are to quantify and compare relationships among acute changes in inflammatory markers and evoked pain sensitivity after a high-fat meal (HFM) challenge, compared to a moderate-fat meal challenge, and explore the influence of body composition on these responses, in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury
Pain Processing In Relation To Breathing
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of breathing on the processing of experimental pain in healthy participants. The main questions are: Does breathing rate influence the spatial extent of thermally induced secondary hyperalgesia, a proxy of central sensitization? Does resonance frequency breathing influence the autonomic …
Effects of the Application of a Hyper-oxygenated Gel After Oral Surgery
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether the topical application of Novox® Drop on surgical wounds after the extraction of lower third molars can have a clinical advantage. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the possible reduction of masseteric trismus (masticatory muscle spasm - …
Is Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Effective in Reducing Endometriosis-associated Pain
The goal of this research is to improve pain outcomes for the over 500K Canadian women, girls and gender-diverse individuals who are newly diagnosed with endometriosis each year. Chronic pain that persists after interventions for endometriosis is a huge problem. There is some evidence that endometriosis-associated pain (EAP) is, at …
Pain With Dementia
The purpose of the study is to develop a caregiver-assisted pain coping skills training program for older adults who have pain and mild to moderate dementia and are living at home with a family caregiver. The investigators are planning to recruit 30 patient-caregiver dyads (60 individuals).
The Effect of Distraction Techniques Used in Intramuscular (IM) Injections on Pain in Adolescents Presenting to the Emergency Department With Dysmenorrhea: A Randomized Controlled Study
Brief Summary: This study investigates the effectiveness of non-pharmacological techniques for managing dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain) in adolescents. The study focuses on methods such as Helfer Skin Tap Technique (HSTT) and ShotBlocker, which aim to reduce pain without medication. The goal is to determine how these techniques can help adolescents manage …
Balance, Autonomic Response, and Sensory Modulation to Dosage of Mechanical Vagal Stimulation in Healthy Adults
The vagus nerve (VN) plays a crucial role in regulating vital functions (heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and immune response) and maintaining communication between internal organs and the brain. Recent studies have highlighted the therapeutic potential of VN stimulation (VNS) in treating various conditions such as drug-resistant epilepsy, postural control …
Trans-arterial Embolization for the Treatment of Facet Pain Due to Facet Arthropathy
This single-site, single-arm study evaluates the feasibility, safety, tolerability, and efficacy of trans-arterial embolization (TAE) using Embozene microparticles for treating facetogenic pain due to facet arthropathy (osteoarthritis of the facet joints) in the lumbar spine.
