Filter by:The aim of the present study is to investigate and report on the psychometric properties of a Greek version of the Chronic Pain Grade Questionnaire (CPGQ).
The aim of this epidemiologic prospective study is to determine the prevalence of CPSP defined as pain occurring 4 months after scoliosis and thoracic surgery and rated > 3 on a 10 point visual analogue scale or FLACC scale, in children aged from 6 to 18 years. The main objective : prevalence of chronic post surgical pain 4 months after scoliosis ant thoracic surgery in children aged 6 to 18 years. The secondary objectives: the intensity of chronic post surgical pain, the prevalence of neuropathic syndrome and the predictive risk factors.
Patients having completed former trials T1001-01 or T1001-02 will undergo one blood sampling for genotyping purposes. In addition they will compete the personality questionnaires they had completed in the former trial.
This is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, exploratory, single-arm study characterize the effects of programming spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in patients undergoing a Boston Scientific (BSC) spinal cord stimulation (SCS) temporary trial
The study will compare therapeutic efficacy of a novel spinal cord stimulation leads implant based on anatomical landmarks with standard surgical implantation technique.
Our goal is to conduct a proof-of-concept trial to test the efficacy of KF treatment in adolescents with severe CWP not responding to the standard of care (SOC) treatment program in a multidisciplinary tertiary care chronic pain clinic. The changes associated to the interventions (KF or placebo) will be quantified using the Patients' Global Impression of Change (PGIC) scale after 16 weeks of treatment. Secondary, we aim to evaluate the effects of KF on the pain sensitivity, physical and emotional functioning, and we will also explore the potential biological underlying mechanisms.
Chronic abdominal and pelvic pain is a common complaint following peritoneal surgery, affecting 20-40% of patients. Adhesions account for 60% of chronic postoperative pain cases, suggesting that adhesiolysis can play an important role in the management of such pain. Despite initial promising results regarding the effect of adhesiolysis on post-operative pain, implementation of the procedure has been challenging. The major problems associated with adhesiolysis for pain are recurrence of pain, need for invasive diagnosis with high rates of 'negative' laparoscopies, and inadvertent bowel injury during surgery. However, diagnosis and treatment of adhesions may be improved through the use of novel cine-MRI techniques, and with application of anti-adhesion barriers following adhesiolysis. In this study the investigators evaluate a new practice-based approach to the problem of chronic post-operative pain caused by adhesions. This practice-based approach includes use of a novel imaging technique for adhesions (cine-MRI) and shared decision making. Cine-MRI holds promise to diagnose and map adhesions. Thus patients with no adhesions, or high risk for bowel injury, can be waived from surgical treatment. By using anti-adhesion barriers the investigators attempt to prevent adhesion reformation and improve long-term outcomes of adhesiolysis.
This is a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lidocaine in the management of chronic pain in children. All participants will receive lidocaine infusion and severity of pain and degree of chronic-pain related disability will be assessed before and up to 4 weeks after infusion. Adverse events will be recorded.
This study aims to evaluate the influence of genetic polymorphisms of OCTN1 and OCT2 and other possible covariates on the kinetic disposition of GAB in patients undergoing GAB chronic treatment. Thus, patients treated with GAB, for at least one week, are being investigated.
The objective of the study is to assess the short-term and long-term effects of transcutaneous pulsed radio frequency treatment on the physiological status, subjective well-being, and on the intensity of pain. Category A Transcutaneous Pulsed Radiofrequency is a method that is widely used for control of pain. There are no known complications. In this study a Radiofrequency generator will be used that has a separate outlet for transcutaneous use. Patients will be recruited within the clinic population of patients.
