Perioperative Virtual Reality Intervention for Pain and Anxiety During Vasectomies
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a virtual reality (VR) program (TRIPP) can reduce pain, anxiety, and distress in adult men (aged 18+) undergoing a vasectomy under local anesthesia. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does using VR during a vasectomy lower patients' pain …
Additional Effects of Pain Neuroscience Education With Standard Pre-operative Physiotherapy on Post-laminectomy Pain and Disability.
This randomized controlled trial investigates whether adding Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) to standard pre-operative physiotherapy improves outcomes after lumbar laminectomy. Chronic low back pain often involves central sensitization, where the nervous system continues amplifying pain signals even after the structural problem is surgically corrected, contributing to persistent neuropathic pain and …
Opioids, Low Nicotine Cigarettes, and Chronic Pain
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of switching to very low nicotine content (VLNC) cigarettes versus normal nicotine content (NNC) cigarettes on craving, withdrawal, and pain among individuals with chronic pain who smoke cigarettes daily and are attending office-based buprenorphine treatment (OBBT).
Prospective Study of Sensation and Satisfaction in Cancer and Transgender Mastectomy Patients
During breast surgery, sensory nerves are cut which may lead to reduced sensation and pain. Surgical reinnervation techniques have been developed with the aim of improving postoperative sensation by preserving the nerves and connecting them to the nipple and areola. The investigators aim to compare postoperative sensation and patient reported …
Pain in Aging Former Athletes, Master's Athletes, and Nonathletes
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine how male and female former athletes experience pain and respond to moderate-intensity exercise (strength versus aerobic) compared with both current master's athletes and nonathletes. The main questions this study aims to address are: How do former athletes, master's athletes, and nonathletes …
Is Conditioned Pain Modulation Predictive of Clinical Improvement in Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain?
Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) a measure of the effectiveness of the descending pain pathway and therefore a measure of the body's ability to perform endogenous analgesia. In subjects with normal function of the descending pain pathway, the net-effect during CPM testing is anti-nociceptive, or inhibition of the ascending pain pathway. …
Acute Effect of Isometric Excercise on Pain Sensitivity in Adults With Chronic Low Back Pain
Randomized control trial to examine the immediate effect of isometric exercise on pressure pain threshold (PPT) in adults with chronic low back pain. The secondary aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of isometric exercise on clinical pain intensity.
The Impact of Insomnia on Pain Sensitivity and the Trajectory of Exercise-induced Muscular Pain
Sleep is a critical determinant of physiological recovery and pain regulation. Growing evidence suggests that sleep disruption directly heightens central and peripheral pain sensitivity to sensory stimuli (e.g., mechanical pressure, thermal stimuli), serving as a significant risk factor for the onset and persistence of musculoskeletal pain. However, the precise mechanisms …
Effects of Telerehabilitation and Supervised Clinic Based Rehab With Pain Neuroscience Education for Pain,Kinesiophobia and Functional Disability Among Chronic Non-Specific Neck Pain Patients
Chronic non-specific neck pain is a common musculoskeletal condition affecting a large proportion of the population worldwide. It is characterized by persistent neck pain lasting more than three months without a specific underlying pathology. Many patients experience ongoing symptoms such as pain, reduced range of motion, functional limitations, and psychological …
Biofield Therapy for the Support of Immunotherapy-related Symptoms Among Adult Cancer Patients - A Pilot Study
Cancer treatment with immunotherapy is often associated with symptoms such as fatigue, pain, and emotional distress, which may affect patients' daily functioning and quality of life. Additional supportive care approaches are being studied to better understand their potential role in supporting these symptoms. The purpose of this study is to …
