Post-mastectomy pain affects more than half of patients undergoing the procedure and can last for years. It has been well established that development of chronic pain is related to experienced pain in the perioperative period. This study therefore aims to assess if both acute and chronic post-operative mastectomy pain can be better managed by a novel regional anesthesia nerve block known as the pectoralis block (PECs). The PECs block is easier for patients to position for placement, has less risk of harm to nearby structures, and less risk for systemic uptake of local anesthetic in comparison to the paravertebral block. The PECs block has a strong safety profile. Standard of care at University of Wisconsin (UW) hospital is to utilize regional anesthesia for post op pain management. While PVB is performed on a regular basis at UW per surgeon request, Surgeon can request for PECS block in patients where a PVB was contraindicated (ie. coagulation issues). PECS is in fact the standard of care at other hospitals. This study will assess outcomes in the post anesthetic care unit (PACU), post-operative day 1, 7 and 30.
This study seeks to determine the feasibility of recruiting and training participants in self-acupressure, for women undergoing primary breast cancer surgery or delayed reconstruction surgery. The study seeks to determine also if self-acupressure is effective in reducing the need for opioids post-surgery and the effects on other life factors.
The primary purpose of the R21 is using an experimental medicine research approach to study whether a chronic, progressive-based exercise program will help Veterans suffering from chronic low back pain (cLBP) and PTSD achieve exercise maintenance, and shared symptom reduction, through neuropeptide Y mediated improvements in putative factors (self-regulation and reward sensitivity) known to improve exercise related self-efficacy and motivation.
The objective of this study is to obtain post-market clinical outcome data for the Algovita SCS System when used on-label, according to the applicable directions for use, using high fidelity tonic stimulation at either ultra-high pulse width or traditional pulse width for the treatment of persistent or recurrent back and/or leg pain following spinal surgery.
This study will examine how the use of Xtampza ER, an opioid analgesic packaged in openable microsphere-containing capsules, affects swallowing satisfaction, pain, and physical and mental health outcomes in chronic pain patients.
This double-blind, randomized, controlled trials will investigate the effect of accelerated, repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation on opiate craving and perceived pain .
The objective is to evaluate the accuracy and efficacity of 1 dose of trazodone in TMD patient (with chronic orofacial pain and poor sleep quality). Subject will have 3 polysomnography (PSG) over 3 weeks. The first one being the baseline. Half of the patient will receive trazodone on their 2nd PSG and placebo on their 3rd PSG, and the other half will receive placebo bedofe their 2nd PSG and trazodone for the 3rd PSG. Pain quality and sleep quality will be assessed before and after PSG. polysomnograms from baseline, placebo night and trazodone night will also be compared.
This study will evaluate the sustainability of pain and functional outcomes along with return to opioid use in a population of patients that successfully completed a comprehensive interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation program. In addition, this study will compare outcomes sustainability and return to opioid use between pain program graduates who receive post discharge self-management resources consisting of a DVD with videos of recommended flexibility practice (standard of care) or access to an online telerehabilitation platform that provides patients with access to the flexibility practice videos on a variety of telecommunication devices (e.g., computer, smart phone, tablet).
This study will examine the effect of LASER photobiomodulation therapy on pain and opioid pain medication weaning on patients who are undergoing opioid pain medication weaning.
