Filter by:Study hypothesis:- Benign joint hyper mobility syndrome which persists into adulthood is a special type of benign joint hyper mobility which is more likely to predispose to chronic musculoskeletal pain. Young Indian adults aged between 25 and 40 years who are blood donors or relatives of patients admitted as inpatient or presenting to the out patient department, in Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences will be enrolled, after excluding the exclusionary criteria. They will be assessed for the presence of chronic musculoskeletal pain using a validated self filled questionnaire. The primary investigator who will be blinded to their response will examine them for the presence of Benign Joint Hyper mobility Syndrome and for tender points suggestive of fibromyalgia. Primary Objective:- To determine whether chronic musculoskeletal pain is associated with Hypermobility among Indian adults. Study design:- Cross sectional survey
Musculoskeletal disorders are frequent among office workers especially in the neck/shoulder area. The hypothesis is, that specific strength training of the neck/shoulder muscles will alleviate the pain. The two sub-hypotheses are 1. Alleviation of pain is independent of training frequency 2. Alleviation of pain is higher following supervised training vs training with initial instruction only
1. Comparison of the effect of ketoprofen Transfersome® gel (KTG) to placebo gel (PG) on muscle pain of the calf caused by eccentric contractions 2. Comparison of the effect of KTG to celecoxib (CE) on muscle pain of the calf caused by eccentric contractions 3. Comparison of the effect of celecoxib (CE) to oral placebo (OP) on muscle pain of the calf caused by eccentric contractions
Other studies suggest that low Vitamin D levels may contribute to musculoskeletal pain. Hypothesis: Administration of oral Vitamin D supplements will improve vague musculoskeletal pain in children.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the application of low level laser light therapy to the neck and shoulder region is effective in reducing chronic neck and shoulder pain of musculoskeletal origin.
The investigators propose such a trial to compare a Musculoskeletal and Obstetric Management (MOM) program to standard obstetric care alone for lower back pain/pelvic pain (LBP/PP) during and after pregnancy.
Chronic pain is associated with hypersensitivity of the central nervous system. The drug under investigation (tropisetron) has been shown in animal studies to attenuate central hypersensitivity. It has therefore the potential to be effective in chronic pain. We compare two doses of tropisetron with placebo in patients with chronic pain. We measure pain intensity and parameters that assess central hypersensitivity.
This interventional study seeks to evaluate the overall outcomes of a novel, emotional awareness intervention for people with chronic musculoskeletal pain and determine which patients benefit the most from this intervention. The investigators also are evaluating the effects of brief emotional communication technique embedded in the pre-treatment assessment.
Research shows that the immune system is involved in chronic pain. The immune system is involved in the process of inflammation. The investigators are still learning about the factors that cause inflammation, but know it can be measured in the blood. The purpose of this study is to understand how negative thoughts affect the immune system in women with chronic pain. A sub-study asks subjects to store a blood sample for future research by the PI aimed at identifying genetic markers in women with chronic pain.
A randomized controlled trial comparing a new approach to musculoskeletal pain consisting of education and peer involvement to treatment as usual. All local government employees in 1-3 Norwegian municipalities will be invited to participate.
