Central post-stroke pain (CPP) is extremely difficult to relieve and responds very poorly to analgesics targeting neuropathic pain, probably because the mechanisms underlying this pain remain poorly understood. Stroke pain is traditionally considered to be of central origin and related to changes in the spinal cord and/or brain nociceptive systems. …
Patients with digestive tract malignancy often experience severe and unremitting abdominal pain that negatively affects physical, emotional, and social function, as well as health related quality of life (HRQOL). Therapeutic virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a promising and evidence-based treatment modality for cancer pain. Users of VR wear a …
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if active music-based intervention works to treat patients with chronic low back pain. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does active music-based intervention improve cognitive function? Does active music -based intervention improve sensitivity to stimuli? Does active music-based intervention …
About 70% of people with a spinal cord injury in Switzerland have chronic pain that lasts more than 3 to 6 months. This pain can be caused by muscle or joint problems, or by nerve damage (neuropathic pain). Neuropathic pain is often hard to treat, and current treatments may cause …
Chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) is among the most prevalent causes of disability on the planet, which often proves to be refractory to conventional pharmacological, interventional, and rehabilitation approaches. Although acupuncture has also shown analgesic effectiveness, its variability and reliance on practitioner skill limit its universal introduction into Western …
This study is designed to evaluate the feasibility of using intra-operative ECAP and Late-Response (LR) recordings for confirmation of activating the neuronal target of the dorsal column in a single-stage SCS lead placement procedure. The collected ECAP and LR data will be analysed post-hoc to further evaluate its utility for …
Objectives: To identify a central hub of visceral pain in IBS-D and elucidate the mechanism by which repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) confers analgesic effects. Methods: A total of 42 IBS-D patients were recruited and randomly assigned (1:1) to the sham rTMS or the rTMS group. A nested cohort of …
Though the efficacy of VRH is documented in various outpatient urological procedures and has provided promising preliminary information in prostate biopsy, its systematic use in urology remains poorly studied. Considering the potential of invasive urological procedures to induce significant patient discomfort, the application of innovative immersive approaches, such as those …
This study is a randomised controlled trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of thoracic thrust with cervical non-thrust mobilization in mechanical neck pain on components such as pain, thoracic range of motion, kyphotic angle, craniovertebral angle and proprioception.
This study aims to explore the usefulness of self-regulation of brain activity in patients with fibromyalgia. Patients will use real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) neurofeedback to observe and regulate their own brain activity while applying mental strategies to reduce fibromyalgia pain. The study consists of 2 magnetic resonance imaging …
