Filter by:This project is a single-site, two-arm, pilot study assessing the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a 5-minute Mindful Mapping intervention for adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain (n=60) relative to a time- and attention-matched control condition.
Musculoskeletal problems related to instrument playing or performance are frequently seen in musicians. Different interventions such as strength training, endurance training and yoga have been used in the management of these problems. The first specific exercise program for professional orchestra musicians was developed by Chan et al. However, it has been stated that it is difficult to encourage musicians' participation in exercise due to their constantly changing work schedules, and at this point, the use of digital media such as DVDs, USBs, and educational exercise videos may have a potential role. On the other hand, it has been stated that smart wearable devices with mobile applications (such as smart watches, smart band) as digital health interventions are an interesting, interactive and efficient psychological strategy to promote physical activity and can be used as an intervention to promote a healthy lifestyle. Based on the literature, in our study, the exercise program developed by Chan et al., will be done online via "Google Meet" and symptoms can be evaluated with objective evaluation methods. Unlike other studies using digital media, exercises will be performed synchronously and feedback will be given to the musicians simultaneously, as in face-to-face exercises. In addition, all participants will be given a smart band, they will be encouraged to use it until the end of the study, and the change in their physical activity levels will be evaluated.
Problem: The number of patients living with chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain has steadily increased over the past decade with costs rising equally. Long-standing pain is associated with significant maladaptive beliefs about pain, psychological characteristics and associated behaviors which involve structural and functional neurobiological characteristics which share common pathophysiological mechanisms as chronic pain. The investigators recent priority setting partnership investigated the research priorities from 1000 patients with chronic MSK pain, relatives, and clinicians. Better pain education was rated as one of the three most important research areas. Solution: Pain science education has the potential to target maladaptive psychological and behavioral components that may contribute to the maintenance of chronic pain. The KISS project will evaluate the effect of a pain neuroscience education program (PNE4Adults) on rehabilitation outcomes in patients with chronic MSK pain. This intervention has the potential to change beliefs and behaviors surrounding pain in patients with chronic MSK pain. If this is successful in disrupting maladaptive cycles contributing to chronicity, this may improve outcomes for many thousand citizens.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of an 8-week online yoga intervention in improving the well-being and productivity of desk-based workers. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How effective is an 8-week online yoga intervention in improving the well-being (mental and physical) and productivity (work engagement and job performance) of the yoga group compared with passive controls? - Are there any differences in well-being and work-related measures between the yoga and control groups? Participants in the yoga group will practice yoga three days a week for 8 weeks and will be compared with a wait-listed control group, which will continue with the usual routine for 8 weeks. Researchers will evaluate the impact of yoga on the well-being and productivity of desk-based workers.
The ability to be connected and act according to bodily information is fundamental in chronic pain adjustment. This study aims to test the feasibility of an intervention designed to improve interoceptive sensibility, i.e., the ability to sense, interpret, and regulate bodily sensations in chronic musculoskeletal pain patients.
Patients will be introduced to the use of a mobile application for their smartphone to record the Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA). This app will ask the patients to assess their pain and function two times daily for 2 months. After 1 month and at the end of the 2 months, follow-up visits will be performed and patients will be asked to retrospectively evaluate the pain that they suffered and the level of function they had during the last month.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the prevalence of joint complaints in nursing home residents with and without dementia. Primary objective: Number of tender or swollen joints. Secondary objectives: 1. Only when it is possible for the nursing home resident to provide us this information: how nursing home residents themselves assess the severity of their joint complaints that day (at that time). If the nursing home resident cannot answer this question (reliably), we use the Pain Assessment Checklist for Seniors with Severe Dementia (PACSLAC-D). 2. Investigate mobility limitations among nursing home residents. 3. To understand whether an accurate (differential) diagnosis for the joint complaints is reported in the electronic files. During the study, a standard physical examination of the musculoskeletal system will performed. Nursing home residents allocated in group 1 (no dementia) also provide an answer on 3 non-incriminating questions (severity of joint complaints, pain in general and general health). Nursing home residents allocated in group 2 (dementia) answer, if possible, 1 non-incriminating question (pain in joints at that moment). These question(s) and the physical examination are also widely used in daily clinical practice. No further incriminating questions or questionnaires will be administered. If the nursing home resident cannot answer this question (reliably), we use the PACSLAC-D.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of the physiotherapist's communication on the clinical presentation of patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two different modes of delivering a self-management program for chronic pain (independently vs. with additional support) on pain-related disability. Participants with chronic musculoskeletal pain will take part in a 10-week online pain self-management program. For the participants in the group with additional support, the intervention will also include two physiotherapist-led sessions and one group session with other participants. The hypothesis is that the results will support that both modes of delivery could be effective, but the self-management program with additional support will be more effective for reducing pain intensity and pain disability compared to the self-management program alone.
This project tests a brief evidence-based video to help educate patients regarding effective and safe pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies for acute musculoskeletal pain (MSP). Subjects will be randomly placed into one of two study arms: intervention (educational video) and usual care. Patients will be contacted at baseline and at 1 and 3 months after the date of an emergency department (ED) or urgent care encounter for follow-up. The aim of this study is to evaluate the success of the intervention for improving pain recovery and preventing long-term opioid use among adults with musculoskeletal pain. The overarching hypothesis of this work is that complementing prescribing policies with patient education based on a shared decision-making approach to pain management can improve pain recovery and reduce progression to long-term opioid use. The proposed study is innovative because it will be the first clinical trial of a patient-centered intervention designed for the primary prevention of long-term opioid use.
