An open-label, single dose, randomized, cross-over study to confirm the bioequivalence (BE) of OTR tablet 40 mg and OXYCONTIN tablet 40 mg in a fed state in Chinese subjects with chronic pain.
This is an open-label, single dose, randomised, cross-over study to confirm the bioequivalence (BE) of OTR tablet 40 mg and OXYCONTIN tablet 40 mg in a fasted state in Chinese subjects with chronic pain
This study is designed to determine if a brief educational program can alter the attitudes and knowledge of individuals with chronic back pain, which is likely to be non-structural in nature. Individuals will be randomly assigned to an experimental condition (performs written educational and emotional awareness exercises) or a control condition (completes a general health activities questionnaire). Comparisons will be made to assess the degree of centralized pain features and functional improvements at 1-month follow-up. A 10-month follow-up as a secondary endpoint is also planned.
Approximately 10-23% of people suffer from chronic pain in our country. Chronic pain is associated with emotional distress (anxiety and depression), physical and social impairment and reduction of quality of life in patients who suffer from this condition. Self-Compassion is a useful attitude in order to regulate emotions, to be able to accept the experience that one is going through and to improve self-care in general population. Cognitive-behavioral programs (CBT) have already demonstrated that they are effective in order to reduce catastrophizing and passive coping with pain. However, effects of Mindful Self-Compassion interventions (based on mindfulness skills but not only) on chronic pain condition are still unknown. The investigator's principal hypothesis is: MSC program will be, at least, as effective as CBT program in order to improve quality of life, self-compassion, self-care and acceptance capacity; and as effective as CBT to reduce catastrophizing, anxiety and depression in a chronic pain patients sample. Moreover, investigators also hypothesize that MSC program will be, at least, as effective as CBT program in order to maintain the achieved benefits in a 6 months follow-up. Investigators will conduct a Randomized Controlled Trial with two treatment arms in a chronic pain sample of patients of Hospital Universitario La Paz, Madrid. After all recollection of data is done, investigators will conduct statistic analysis in order to accept or refuse our hypothesis.
The Osher Center for Integrative Medicine (OCIM) at Vanderbilt is a multidisciplinary outpatient clinic treating patients with chronic pain and complex health issues via integrative services, with goals of improving overall health and wellbeing of those served. At OCIM, clinical hypnosis has been historically provided on an individual basis by the investigator. Due to its impact and increased patient demand for this service, the investigator will be conducting group hypnosis services in addition to individual services order to expand the reach of this program to participants. As such, the investigators see this as a tremendous opportunity to contribute to clinical research to contribute to the evidence based for this form of service by examining participant-reported outcomes associated with completing the treatment. For this project, the investigators seek to assess the impact of a manualized group treatment protocol utilizing clinical hypnosis as a treatment for chronic pain. The investigators will be evaluating participant-reported outcomes to assess the feasibility of conducting hypnosis in this setting, impact of group hypnosis on pain and how participants' responsiveness to hypnosis impacts treatment outcome.
Chronic pain contributes to declining health and function in older adults; effects that are intensified by obesity and sedentary (sitting) behavior. The purpose of this study is to develop and test a novel, patient-centered intervention to reduce pain and improve physical function in older, obese adults. The study will utilize a combination of telephone based coaching and smartphone tools to deliver this novel intervention to decrease both body weight and sitting behavior. The long-term goals of this project are to test the efficacy of the intervention and to develop it as a tool for clinicians to provide outside-of-clinic patient-centered support for overweight/obese older adults with chronic pain.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on 2 types of patients' population suffering from chronic pain syndrome (Fibromyalgia): patients with history of psychological trauma and patients with history of traumatic brain injury.
Few studies have used quantitative sensory tests to study the effect of chronic opioid treatment on sensation. The investigators will test chronic pain patients who are on different MEDDs, normal volunteers, and patients undergoing an opioid taper. This will be the first study to perform sensory testing on patients while undergoing an opioid taper on an outpatient basis.
