Filter by: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.
Pre- and postoperative pain in patients with degenerative stenosis requires great attention, as it can mislead the doctor about treatment tactics. Neuropathic pain in the legs before and after the surgical procedure, as well as the residual or recurrent pain syndrome existing against this background, overshadow the patient's recovery and cast doubt on the fullness of the performed decompression. Neural compression in the spinal canal and back pain may be the cause of the patient's antalgic posture and sagittal imbalance as seen on X-Ray, to need for corrective interventions surgical procedure. Thus, it is necessary to clarify the role and the influence of the pain and its type on the perioperative period in patients with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis.
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 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).
Low back pain can persist in some patients with history of back surgery. In some cases, an increase in pain may even occur, and chronic pain may make treatment more difficult. A component of chronic pain is neuropathic pain, and its specific evaluation and treatment is important. Low back pain and radicular pain in the lower extremities are the main symptoms of failed back surgery syndrome (also called persistent spinal pain syndrome in new terminology). There are many methods for treatment of failed back surgery syndrome, such as analgesic medications, physical therapy, interventional pain treatment applications, and re-surgery options. Epidural pulsed radiofrequency therapy has recently become popular among interventional pain management procedures, and studies on its effectiveness are increasing. However, studies with a multifaceted approach that also evaluate neuropathic pain are lacking in the literature. In this study, it was planned to investigate the effect of epidural pulsed radiofrequency therapy on pain palliation, including neuropathic pain, in patients diagnosed with failed back surgery syndrome.
The goal of this observational study is to estimate the frequency of neuropathic pain and migraines in a group of patients with osteoarthritis of the knees, hips, hands, spine or other joints. In addition to their usual care for osteoarthritis, participants will complete questionnaires to define migraine and neuropathic pain.
Cortical stimulation has been used since 1991 to treat neuropathic pain. However, the underlying mechanisms are still incompletely understood and under-studied. In this protocol, the investigators aim to study the myeloarchitectonic and functional characteristics of areas activated by cortical epidural electrodes and to determine their relation to therapy response in chronic neuropathic refractory pain patients.
The goal of this case study is to examine the effects of Photobiomodulation (PBM) on neuropathic pain and sensation post-mastectomy in one female participant. Neuropathic pain and somatosensation will be primary measures, along with strength, range of motion testing, and measures of quality of life in response to exposure to PBM for 6 weeks.
