The Effect of Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation on Brain Characteristics, Pain Intensity, and Cognitive Functions in Older People with Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the effects of accelerated intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS) on pain relief and cognitive function in older adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain. It will also utilize magnetic resonance imaging to illustrate the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the role of iTBS in improving …
The Effect of Yoga Practice on Chronic Back Pain
Chronic low back pain is notoriously difficult to treat and is a primary contributor to lost work days and excessive health expenditures, and whose treatment has, in part, contributed to the opioid crisis. Surgery is only an option in a minority of these patients, usually confined to those with structural …
Effects of tDCS Combined With CBI on Postsurgical Pain
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a new medical technology can help reduce post-operative total knee or hip pain when combined with a Cognitive-Behavioral intervention (CBI). This new medical technology, is called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), it uses a very small amount of electricity to temporarily …
Pain Perception Comparison of Computerized vs Conventional Injection Methods
This study was conducted to a Comparison of Pain Perception for Nerve Block and Infiltration Injection Using the Conventional Method and Two Computerized Control Systems.
EXPLORER Total Body PET/CT Imaging for Myofascial Pain
The main objective of this study is to establish novel measures derived from Total-body-Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (TB-PET/CT) as quantitative biomarkers for the investigation of myofascial pain. The TB-PET/CT assessed measures are those reflective of myofascial tissue metabolism, perfusion, and fatty infiltration.
Limb Occlusion Pressure Tourniquets to Decrease Pain After Surgery
Currently a standard tourniquet pressure is used for orthopedic surgeries. High tourniquet pressure had been associated with adverse side effects such as ischemia, muscle weakness, and post operative pain. Limb Occlusion Pressure, LOP, is based off the patient's systolic blood pressure plus a safety margin and is typically much lower …
Preoperative Education for Less Outpatient Pain After Surgery (PELOPS)
In 2015, more than 50% of surgical procedures were performed in outpatient settings. Successful pain management after outpatient surgery is crucial, and requires a perfect cooperation between caregivers and patients, with clear information on the analgesics use at home. Different strategies to control postoperative pain were adopted by hospitals performing …
Resiniferatoxin to Treat Severe Pain Associated With Advanced Cancer
This study will examine the safety of giving the experimental drug, resiniferatoxin (RTX), to treat severe pain in patients with advanced cancer. RTX is a chemical extracted from a cactus-like plant. It is similar to capsaicin, the active ingredient in hot pepper. RTX has relieved pain and reduced the need …
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation for Post-Cesarean Pain Control
Purpose of study is to evaluate the efficacy of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for post-operative pain control after a cesarean delivery compared to placebo and no TENS.
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 …
