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 …
Opioid-Free Pain Control Regimen Following Robotic Radical Prostatectomy
The objective of this study is to conduct a randomized clinical trial to evaluate an opioid versus an opioid-free pathway of perioperative use of ketamine, ketorolac, and IV acetaminophen followed by the postoperative use of ketorolac, and oral acetaminophen for pain associated with robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy. Escalation to use of …
Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Low Back Pain
As a leading cause of disability worldwide, chronic low back pain (cLBP) represents a significant medical and socioeconomic problem with estimated health care spending of $87 billion/annually. The efficacy of dorsal column electrical stimulation to inhibit pain was first described over 50 years ago. Since then, several large clinical trials …
Sustained Release Lidocaine for the Treatment of Postoperative Pain
In this study, the investigators are testing a new formulation of lidocaine for its suitability in managing postoperative pain after pelvic (circumcision, inguinal, scrotal), perineal (hemorrhoidectomy) or perianal (fistulotomy) incisions. The new formulation ST-01 is a sustained release lidocaine formulation and is expected to provide pain relief over multiple days. …
Reducing Pain During Heel Blood Collection in Preterm Newborns
Pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods are used to control interventional pain in preterm newborns. Non-pharmacological methods should be preferred in the management of pain, especially during painful minor invasive procedures (blood collection, orogastric tube insertion, aspiration, etc.) applied during the day. Some of these methods are; kangaroo care, breast milk, fetal …
