Effects of Schroth-Based Exercise on Kyphosis Angle, Muscle Strength, Balance, Pain, and Quality of Life in Hyperkyphosis With Chronic Neck Pain
The normal thoracic kyphosis angle of the spine is 20-40°, however, an angle of more than 40° is referred to as postural kyphosis, increased kyphosis or hyperkyphosis. Although postural kyphosis negatively affects individuals' general health status, physical performance, and quality of life, there is still no standardized protocol for correcting …
Cannabidiol and Older Adult Cannabis Users
Cannabis use increased 10 fold among adults over the age of 65 between 2014 and 2016 but very little data exists on the extent of their harmful effects on health and behavior. The overarching goal of this project is to test a novel harm reduction strategy in which older individuals …
Opioid Sparing Anesthesia Care for Pediatric Patients Having Tonsil Surgery
This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, non-inferiority study of patients undergoing tonsil surgeries at Boston Children's Hospital Waltham. The overall aim is to evaluate the efficacy of an opioid anesthetic plan (morphine, ketorolac, and acetaminophen versus an opioid sparing anesthetic plan (dexmedetomidine, ketorolac and acetaminophen) for perioperative analgesia and recovery …
Development and Validation of a New Questionnaire for Caregivers to Assess Hip Pain in Quadriplegic Pediatric Patients: Non-Ambulatory Hip Pain Questionnaire
The goal of this clinical trial is twofold: to develop a questionnaire for care givers to assess hip pain in quadriplegic pediatric patients who are not able to communicate it independently to validate this questionnaire in a cohort of 100 pediatric patients with quadriplegia Researchers will : involve 10 experts …
Cannabis for Palliative Care in Cancer
Many cancer patients suffer from pain, sleep, and mood problems and are using cannabis to relieve these symptoms. Cannabis may provide such relief but may also produce negative side effects including cognitive impairment, an especially problematic issue for cancer patients, indicating more research on cannabis use in the cancer context …
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 …
Strength Training and Proprioceptive Stimulation on Pain, Function, Quality of Life, Sleep Quality, and Psychosocial Factors in Older Adults With Shoulder Pain
A single-blind randomized clinical trial with a pretest posttest design is proposed in adults over 60 years of age with chronic shoulder pain due to rotator cuff involvement. Participants will be divided into an experimental group that will receive a multi-joint strength exercise program along with proprioceptive somatosensory stimulation plus …
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 …
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 …
