Filter by:The overall aim of the study is to evaluate interventional pain management. This is done in three steps: 1. To find matched controls to the patients in the study on cost-effectiveness of IPM and compare the results. 2. To calculate cost-effectiveness of PRP during the period 2010-2016, on a national level. 3. To calculate cost-effectiveness of PRP during the period 2017-2019, after the changed guidelines for PRP in Sweden. The two last steps are to provide a background to the results of IPM, and to see if the results in the subgroup of matched controls of PRP-patients differ from the results from the whole population.
This study aims to evaluate the benefit of a complementary and integrative health (CIH) pain management program when added to standard rehabilitative care (SC) compared to SC alone prior to an intensive functional restoration (FR) program in a population of active duty service members. In addition the study aims to identify factors that predict improvement in pain impact following treatment, and to determine the proportion of participants who experience clinically meaningful response. SC included physical and occupational therapy. CIH included chiropractic, acupuncture, yoga and foam roller instruction. Both treatment groups also received education about pain psychology. Participants were randomly assigned to a 3-week course of either SC alone or CIH combined with SC prior to a 3-week course of FR. Outcomes were collected at baseline, at end of stage 1, and post-FR. Outcomes included patient-reported and provider-determined measures.
Phase 1 - MOST Preparation Phase: 1. To conduct a pilot trial at two opioid use disorder clinic sites, enrolling n=10 at both sites, for a total n=20. 2. Establish clinical trial procedures and document feasibility at both sites prior to conducting a fully powered optimization trial. 3. Demonstrate our ability to a) recruit participants; b) train yoga teachers to fidelity; c) randomize participants to intervention components and correctly administer components; d) run classes; and e) collect follow-up assessments.
This pilot project will evaluate the potential of an affordable smartphone app to improve users' mental well-being.
The purpose of the present research protocol is to investigate and identify translocator protein 18kDa, MRI DTI, and EEG/ERPs, markers of Chronic Systemic Symptoms (CSS).
Headache and backache are common symptoms following childbirth. The incidence of these symptoms have been shown to increase during the postpartum period between 5 to 12 months following delivery. By 12 months postpartum up to 45% and 65% of women experience headache and backache, respectively. While studies have reported headache and backache as frequently persistent symptoms beyond the first year postpartum, few studies have specifically interrogated women seeking specialist pain physician input or identified predisposing risk factors. Finally there is little known about typically described pain characteristics of women who suffer with chronic postpartum headache and backache. We aim to compare the prevalence of chronic headache in women that have versus have not experienced childbirth.
The study was designed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of two dose concentrations of SAF312 eye drops (5 mg/mL and 15 mg/mL) in subjects with CICP persisting at least for 4 months after refractive or cataract surgery and chronicity confirmed during the observational period. The study also determined the optimal dose to carry forward for further development.
Objective of the Protocol: The primary aim of the current protocol is to examine whether or not habitual use of medical marijuana affects psychomotor functioning operationalized as driving performance. Secondary endpoints will examine whether type of medical marijuana used, frequency, dosage or route of administration is associated with adverse effects. The proposed study is a prospective repeated measures experimental study designed to test medical marijuana use as the exposure variable in adults age 50 and older and driving errors in response time, attention, and executive functions as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes include: adverse effects. Participants will complete 3 assessments over a 3 month time period. The 3 assessment time points are: baseline (T1), prior to starting medical marijuana, 1 month post-medical marijuana initiation (T2), and 3 months post-medical marijuana initiation (T3). Electronic Medical Review (EMR) will be conducted at baseline, 1, and 3 months. In addition, potentially confounding disease, treatment, and sociodemographic characteristics will be examined. Data will be collected in a manner that is consistent with transparent reporting as mandated by CONSORT guidelines. Finite mixture modeling and generalized linear modeling accounting for individual and group level outcomes will be used to test the study hypotheses. The investigators propose to enroll 60 adults (n=30 medical marijuana users and n=30 age, race, sex matched controls) ages 50 and older with chronic/severe non-malignant pain, which is the most common diagnosis for medical marijuana users. Primary Endpoint: Thus, the proposed study will test medical marijuana use as the exposure variable in adults age 50 and older and simulated driving performance (e.g. errors in response time, attention, and executive functioning tasks that predict on-road performance) as the primary outcome. Secondary Endpoint: Further, the investigators will explore the association between medical marijuana use and adverse effects.
The investigators aim to validate if a digital tool for increased self-management of chronic pain can improve the quality of life for patients with chronic pain. The validation is based on the change in pain interference (Quality of life), pain intensity, physical functioning, depression, and anxiety based on self-reported information from baseline to study end.
Chronic pain is a major health issue with substantial economic burden.To support chronic pain patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, yoga based self-managed intervention was delivered through tele-health platform. Project was designed as community-based program, creating new social networks for patients, health care providers and academics. Platform to deliver intervention and data collection was AiM COVID mobile app. Our objective was to determine the efficacy of Yoga based self-management intervention for people living with chronic pain pain intensity, disability and health related quality of life.
