Filter by:Postoperative Persistent Pain (PPP) is reported with a high incidence in adults 11.5-47%. This high incidence effects quality of life of patients causes social-economical problems and arises medico-legal issues. This study will be undertaken for producing a database by the evaluation of surgeries in 4 hospitals located in Istanbul. This database will be used in establishing a software by using data mining technology in the prediction of PPP
The primary objective of this study to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a mindfulness intervention for adolescents with juvenile fibromyalgia/ chronic widespread pain and other similar chronic symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a multimodal rehabilitation program effectively reduces functional disability in adolescents with chronic musculoskeletal pain, compared to care as usual.
Revision surgery after total hip or knee arthroplasty is an ongoing issue due to an increasing number of primary surgeries. Patients seek physicians due to pain. The cause is divided between loosening, infection or chronic pain. Some are operated on the suspicion of a chronic infection. However, postoperative microbiological testing does not always correlate with the suspicion and the operation may have been superfluous. The objective is to employ a highly advanced diagnostic algorithm based on state of the art diagnostic techniques in order to improve the basis of preoperative diagnosis. Through this approach treatment can be given according to the causal problem.
08-SMI-2012 is a post market, observational, questionnaire based study to assess the effectiveness of the commercially available Axium neurostimulator in the management of intractable, chronic pain.
The aims of the study are to compare automatic control of spinal cord stimulation with manual control in patients with chronic pain of the trunk and limbs
The aim of this study is to examine if repetitive computerized cognitive training improves working memory in patients who are on sick leave due to complex symptom disorders (chronic pain, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression and or sleep disorders), and whether effects of cognitive control training transfer to other tasks.
The purpose of this study is to assess the frequency of Fabry disease in children with chronic abdominal pain or chronic pain in the extremities
Regional anesthesia techniques, with administration of local anesthetics for neuraxial or peripheral route are now playing a central role in modern anesthesia and in particular in the control of postoperative pain. There are many review and meta-analyzes suggesting that a good pain control, and specifically loco regional analgesia, may improve the outcome of patients undergoing surgery. The control of acute post-operative pain is not the only challenge to be paid by anesthesiologists, because there is still much to be understood in relation to persistent post-surgical pain (PPP), and about the degree of influence that regional anesthesia plays in complete long-term functional recovery of patients. From the pathophysiological perspective there is not a precise definition of the mechanisms and risk factors that determine the onset of the persistent pain after surgery, but, more in general, it seems to be related to a malfunction of the mechanism of secondary hyperalgesia. Regional anesthesia could play a key role, as the main determinant of chronic pain is acute post-operative pain. The techniques of regional anesthesia exert a powerful block at the peripheral level, potentially preventing the progression of central pain and the persistence of stimuli that can reach the central nervous system. In addition, during surgery, these techniques can reduce the metabolic alterations and the triggering mechanisms of local and systemic pro-inflammatory mediators' release. Few perspective studies exist about the influence of regional anesthesia on long-term outcome and persistent pain after surgery. The objective of the investigators study is to assess in a prospective fashion the role of regional anesthesia/analgesia technique in preventing (or not) persistence pain occurrence after surgical interventions which are mostly associated to pain persistence, and understand if regional anesthesia provides advantages in other post-surgical outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to confirm long term efficacy and safety of the ProdigyTM neuromodulation system in the management of failed back surgery syndrome or chronic intractable pain of the trunk and/or limbs.
