Filter by:This is a research study to evaluate the effectiveness of daily supplementation with Root.Health, a plant-based dietary supplement, on reducing levels of 11 abnormal urine biomarkers associated with chronic pain. Biomarkers are molecules found in blood, tissues, or other body fluids (such as urine) that indicate normal or abnormal processes.
The exploratory project aims to investigate the presence of pain as a long Covid-19 symptom in previously hospitalised patients and in non-hospitalised persons previously tested positive in a PCR test.
This study aims to develop and validate the first set of patient-reported outcome measures for recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI): the Recurrent UTI Symptom Scale and the Recurrent UTI Impact Questionnaire. These tools could be used in clinical practice, clinical trials and research to gather an insight into a patient's perspective of their recurrent UTI symptom severity and its impact on their life, as well as determining any possible improvement or other change in their condition due to interventions (e.g. antibiotic treatment).
Chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) pain is complex and difficult to treat. For individuals with SCI, pain often begins early in the course of their SCI and continues longitudinally. Unfortunately, SCI-related pain is frequently not responsive to medical treatment and medical treatments that are available and commonly used, such as opioids, have negative side-effects and risk of addiction. Nonpharmacological (non-medication) interventions to reduce chronic pain show promise both for individuals with SCI as well as other chronic pain conditions. Research on psychological interventions for chronic pain over the past two decades has consistently found these interventions to be more effective than no treatment, standard care, pain education, or relaxation training alone. However, many of these interventions are designed and implemented in outpatient settings after chronic pain has already developed. The development of early, effective, and preventative interventions to reduce the development of chronic pain has the potential to vastly improve quality of life for individuals with SCI. Having demonstrated the feasibility and acceptance of this treatment in an earlier study, the purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the treatment of Hypnosis Enhanced Cognitive (HYPCT) therapy to Pain Education (ED) for reducing acute and chronic pain for individuals with new spinal cord injuries. The main goals of the study are to: - Aim 1: Test the effectiveness of HYPCT during inpatient rehabilitation for SCI compared to a ED for reducing current pain intensity. - Aim 2: Determine the post-intervention impact of HYPCT sessions compared to ED on average pain intensity. Participants will be asked to: - Complete 4 surveys over seven months - Complete pre and post treatment pain assessments for each of 4 treatment/control sessions Participants will be assigned to one of two groups for treatment and receive either: - 4 Hypnotic Cognitive therapy sessions or - 4 Pain Education sessions
Pharmacist-led pharmacogenomics (PGx) clinical services and medication safety reviews are currently being offered to PACE organizations under the direction of licensed healthcare prescribers by CareKinesis d/b/a Tabula Rasa HealthCare. This project aims to include patients enrolled in PACE organizations with chronic pain and who are prescribed CYP2D6 activated opioids. PGx testing will be performed by contractual PGx vendor with TRHC. PGx results will be integrated into TRHC's proprietary Clinical Decision Support System (Medication Risk Mitigation™ Matrix, CareKinesis, Moorestown, NJ) that guides pharmacists to identify drug-drug interactions (DDIs), drug-gene interactions (DGIs), and drug-drug-gene interactions (DDGIs).16 Clinical pharmacists will translate PGx results combined with a comprehensive DDI review into actionable clinical decisions. Clinical pharmacists will provide medication therapy management recommendation to address medication problems to the PACE prescriber (physician). PACE prescribers will review the pharmacist's recommendation, and based on their clinical assessment, the prescriber will decide whether or not to implement the opioid therapy recommendation.
This study is designed to explore if the valve-gated pump requires less drug to manage subject pain than the prior standard peristaltic pump in the same subject. The newly implanted valve-gated pump will be programmed to deliver a minimum dose reduction of 20% of the same medication that was delivered in the peristaltic pump prior to explant. The drug therapy will be evaluated and pain scores will be evaluated over time (3 refill cycles prospectively for the valve-gated pump and 6 months retrospectively for the peristaltic pump).
purpose of this study is to evaluate the level of pain perceived by patients using a transdermal cream and/or transdermal patch with or without an oral medication as a pain management solution.
The SUpporting Seniors Receiving Treatment And INtervention (SUSTAIN) program is a telephone-based clinical service designed to help identify and manage behavioral health issues among PACE/PACENET enrollees. The purpose of the current project is to a) explore moderators of treatment response among beneficiaries in the SUSTAIN Clinical Program and b) to evaluate the sustained clinical effects of the program.
With the present study the investigators wish to examine if reconceptualisation of pain, by educating chronic whiplash-associated disorders (CWAD) patients on the neurophysiology of pain, in combination with psychologic innoculation is able to influence maladaptive (pain) cognitions, pain (inhibition) and movement performance, and reduce symptoms.
