Filter by:The project investigates on the role of pain avoidance, comorbidity and stress response for the development of chronic somatic and visceral pain. We, the researchers at University Hospital Mannheim, assume that implicit operant learning of pain sensitization is a central mechanism of the process of pain becoming chronic, which is augmented by fear and by avoidance behaviour. Somatic and psychological comorbidity as well as stress factors are further promoting factors in chronic pain development.
To assess the efficacy of Duloxetine compared with placebo in the treatment of pain in patients with Fibromyalgia syndrome, with or without major depressive disorder.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of injections of Botox (botulinum toxin type A) for the treatment of chronic neck pain. Botox is an approved treatment for patients with cervical dystonia. Cervical dystonia is a chronic condition characterized by involuntary movements of the neck that are often painful. In this study, the response from Botox in patients with neck pain not associated with cervical dystonia will be compared to the pain response in patients with cervical dystonia.
It is known, that a so called "pain memory" usually evolves in chronic pain syndromes which both aggravates the disorder and modifies the patients pain perception. Thus, the principal object of pain therapy is to "delete" this dysfunctional pain memory. The combination of medication, physiotherapy and psychological therapy seems to be the most effective treatment. This study investigates the effect of a concomitant Dronabinol medication (Cannabinoid) on the effectiveness of behavioral therapy. It is hypothesized that the combination of behavioral therapy and Dronabinol will be most effective in deleting the pain memory.
Body worn sensors and the Internet can be used to self-monitor daily behavior and promote a healthier lifestyle in women with fibromyalgia.
The main purpose of this protocol is to evaluate the long-term safety of pregabalin in patients who participated in the previous fibromyalgia Study A0081056 and who wish to receive open-label pregabalin therapy.
The purpose of this research study of pregabalin and fibromyalgia is to see if 1. pregabalin reduces the pain of fibromyalgia and if this effect lasts for six months and 2. to see if different dosages work better (reduce pain and mild to no side effects) for different people.
The main purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of one dose of botulinum toxin type A (Dysport) associated with rehabilitation treatment on pain control in patients with a type of back pain called primary myofascial pain syndrome.
This study will determine the effectiveness of acupuncture versus a placebo in altering brain activity and relieving pain due to fibromyalgia.
The main purpose of this study is to determine which is the best dose of a drug known as Dysport to give when treating one's type of upper back pain. The study will also examine the side effects of this treatment and its overall effect on one's disorder.
