Filter by:Aim: This study was conducted to examine the effect of self-applied acupressure on HbA1c and peripheral neuropathic pain in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Background: Acupressure is an effective method for relieving pain, and this effectiveness is explained by the gate control theory and endorphin theory. There is only one study in the literature showing that acupressure reduces diabetic neuropathic pain. However, in this study, acupressure was performed by a trained health professional, not by the patient himself. Measurement of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level is one of the standard methods for long-term management of diabetes and indicates the average blood glucose concentration over a three-month period. As a result of a meta-analysis study conducted in 2023, it was reported that acupressure significantly reduced the HbA1c level. Design: This study was designed as a randomized controlled and experimental type study. Methods: The study is conducted with patients with type 2 diabetes who are followed in the diabetes outpatient clinic of a training and research hospital between May-November 2024. There are 2 arms in the study. The study is conducted with a total of 60 patients, 30 in the control group and 30 in the intervention group. Data collection tools are "Patient Information Form", "Neuropathic Pain Questionnaire - DN4", "Neuropathic Pain Questionnaire - Short Form" and "Self-Acupressure - Satisfaction Evaluation Form with Visual Analogue Scale". While patients in the control group continue to receive routine care, patients in the intervention group are given self-acupressure training. Patients who receive training perform acupressure on their own 3 days a week for 3 months and record it on the follow-up form.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of HSK16149 capsule in the treatment of moderate to severe central neuropathic pain compared with placebo.
This study is aimed to evaluate outpatient ketamine infusion within a military chronic neuropathic pain population and its effect on PTSD. Currently, this is a pilot study with 30 participants. Participants will be randomized to (1) a moderate dose ketamine, (2) moderate dose ketamine +Mg, or (3) a magnesium control group. Participants will complete self-reported pain and PTSD questionnaires throughout the ~24-week study period. The outlined strategy will provide evidence for the utility of ketamine in neuropathic pain management and pain associated comorbidities within a military population.
This single-site study of self-hypnosis software using an off-the-shelf virtual reality (VR) device (OculusGo™) to determine the software's safety, usability, and preliminary efficacy in pain relief for HIV-associated chronic pain patients. This is funded under the i Prism Funding through Mount Sinai Innovations.
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of spinal cord stimulation in patients with post intra-thoracic surgery pain syndrome in a placebo-controlled, crossover, randomized clinical trial.
This study aims to investigate the effects of Pregabalin intake on shoulder pain management in patients with central sensitization undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Although Pregabalin is known to be effective in controlling pain after shoulder arthroscopy, research on its efficacy in pain management for patients with central sensitization is scarce. Utilizing a list that identifies central sensitization, this study will explore whether Pregabalin can reduce postoperative pain in these patients and potentially improve joint mobility, emotional, and physical functioning. A prospective randomized study is planned, with inclusion criteria set for patients aged between 19 and 70 who have undergone arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The study will compare clinical outcomes up to one year postoperatively between two groups of 38 patients each. The case group will receive standard postoperative medications (NSAIDs) plus Pregabalin oral intake from the day before surgery to six weeks postoperatively, while the control group will receive only the standard postoperative medications without Pregabalin.
This Phase I, randomized, double-blind and placebo controlled study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK, and to preliminarily assess the efficacy of topically administered YJ001 in a multiple-ascending dose (MAD) fashion in the patients with DPNP. The study will be conducted at a single study center. In this study, 2 cohorts (N=24, 12 subjects for each cohort), each cohort will consist of 10 active and 2 placebo, with approximately equal numbers of male and female subjects. Each subject will be administered a single dose of YJ001 as multiple sprays topically on both feet and below the ankle in the morning on Day 1 and Day 2, and will be administered as twice daily doses once in the morning and the other in the evening (with an interval of 11 to 13 h) from Day 3 through Day 11.
Monitoring performed by a trained operator has proven to be useful and valued by patients after the use of continuous regional anesthesia. A health professional calls each patient to gather information about their recovery. However, this direct communication strategy requires time and resources, especially if many patients are involved. A modern and convenient approach involves the use of immediate communication technology for follow-up after a procedure. They may contain specific questions that patients can easily answer from their mobile devices. Automated text messages could be associated with greater convenience and ease for patients with response rates at least like the traditional method. Phone calls, on the other hand, may be less scalable and require more human resources. The objective of the project is to evaluate the feasibility of monitoring through automated electronic messaging by evaluating its usability using a validated scale in Spanish. response rate on the first day and adherence rate compared to that of the traditional method. Secondarily, adherence and differences in satisfaction will be compared.
This study aims to determine if repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve pain symptomology in adults with neuropathic pain (NP) following a spinal cord injury (SCI).
Trigeminal neuralgia is common painful disorder in pain medicine clinics. Gasserian ganglion radiofrequency thermocoagulation is one of the treatment option in patients with trigeminal neuralgia in refractory cases. The most commonly involved branch in trigeminal neuralgia is the mandibular branch. Masseter muscle is innervated by mandibulary nerve branch of the trigeminal nerve. The radiofrequency thermocoagulation therapy is used to ablate the affected trigeminal nerve branch and some of patients complain of subjective masseter weakness after this procedure. In theoretical basis, muscles innervated by target nerve are affected from ablation procedure. In this study the primary aim is to evaluate the change of the masseter muscle thickness in patients treated by gasserian ganglion radiofrequency thermocoagulation. The results may also show possible functional effect of the procedure related with masseter muscle.
