Filter by:This is an open label randomized controlled trial (RCT), which will be conducted with patients of the Copenhagen Wound Healing Center at Bispebjerg Hospital in Copenhagen (DK). The trial has three arms (1:1:1): Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) group, Virtual Reality based Pain Self-management (VRPS) program group, and a control group (usual care). Included will be 78 patients at least 18 years old; fluent in the Danish language; complaint of pain lasting 3 months or more; in average pain intensity score ≥ 3 (numerical rating scale 0 to 10); access to internet; and willing and available to participate in the study. Excluded will be specialized or multidisciplinary pain treatment at baseline; history of epilepsy, seizure disorder, nausea or dizziness, hypersensitivity to flashing light or motion or other diseases that may prevent use of virtual reality equipment; injury to eyes, face or neck.
This study aims to evaluate whether the reduction of the daily morphine equivalent dose (MED) in patients with chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP) can be decreased with an open-label placebo (OLP) intervention in comparison to an electronic monitoring (EM) control group. The participants will receive the intervention (OPL or EM) over the duration of six weeks. Diverse psychological and health measures will be assessed with questionnaires over the course of the intervention. Furthermore, evaluation outcomes, qualitative outcomes and safety outcomes will be assessed. It is hypothesized that the OLP-intervention group in comparison to the EM-control group will have a significantly lower consumption of MED over the course of the study. Furthermore, this study aims to evaluate whether the OLP intervention can reduce opioid withdrawal symptoms in comparison to the control group.
Cannabis is being prescribed medically for chronic non-cancer pain despite limited evidence whether or not it works to reduce average pain in patients with chronic non-cancer pain. The cannabis plant (Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica) consists of several hundred compounds of which, approximately 70 of which are thought to be active. The two active cannabinoids of interest in this trial are tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). The goal of this trial is to determine whether CBD or CBD+THC reduces the average pain in participants with chronic non-cancer pain. The investigators also aim to determine whether CBD or CBD+THC is associated with a reduction in pain severity, pain interference, anxiety, depression, insomnia, opioids and use of benzodiazepines, analgesics, antidepressants, anxiolytics, or hypnotics amongst chronic non-cancer pain patients or an increase in physical functioning, physical health related role limitations, social functioning, mental functioning.
