Filter by:This is a post-market, open-label, prospective, multi-center, observational study evaluating upper limb pain relief with the DTM™ SCS programming approach. Data at follow-up visits will be compared to baseline assessments collected at the beginning of the study.
In patients under standardized steady-state general anesthesia, 6 tetanic stimulations of incremental intensities were applied to the patients. Pupillary dilation in response to these stimulations was recorded.
Aim: The aim of the study is to determine the effect of non-nutritive sucking on pain during examination for retinopathy of prematurity. Method: The study is conducted as a randomized controlled trial. The population of the study is premature newborn who treatment in a neonatal intensive unit. The premature newborns divided into two groups as an intervention and control group according to randomization. After the randomization, non-nutritive sucking is applied to the intervention group. No method is applied to the control group.
Background: The hz Clinic registry is a programme made of five scheduled cohorts designed to include participants dealing with Immunity compromise, Pain, Ageing and Stress (general and pandemic anxieties) who are to be followed for 6 month to five years in their structured routine of pulsed electro resonance (PEMF) to determine their clinical outcome in the real world, contributing evidence for benchmarking fellow cohort participant variance. Here we report baseline characteristics, PEMF transfer events and outcomes in participants in the UK. This study serves as a calibration proforma for downstream real world evidence observations of PEMF in the field.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Outpatient surgery (day case surgery) is increasing. When the patients go home on the same day, this demands safe pain relief. A reduction of morphine (opioid) use is sought because of side effects and the dependency risk. An effective alternative to opioids is ketamine, which lacks the side effects of opioids but provides powerful analgesic effects. METHOD At the start of surgery, Ketamine or placebo will be given in a vein to evaluate if the acute pain decreases significantly. Inflammation is known to cause pain. By measuring different proteins in the blood, the investigators want to understand how inflammation links to the pain. Wisdom tooth surgery provides significant post-operative pain and is a widely accepted pain model in drug studies. Patients referred for wisdom tooth surgery are asked to participate in the study. For statistical certainty, in total 165 persons will be enrolled to three groups. Two with active drug (different dose) and one placebo. Everyone gets local anesthesia. The completion of the study will be done in four years. The Ethics Review Board has approved the study. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Effective pain relief after daily surgical procedures is important for patient´s safety and reducing the risk of long-term pain. It is also ethically necessary for the continued expansion of day case surgery. New knowledge of the mechanisms of pain increases the opportunities for individual and safe pain relief. Day case surgery is performed in all operating specialties, this might affects many patients nationally and internationally.
The aim of this study compares mirror therapy and visual feedback treatment with the control group in frozen shoulder patients.
In our hospital's Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology service, patients who have been hospitalized due to Covid -19 infection have a musculoskeletal pain and headache during this process, and 466 patients will be recruited to compare them with the pre-disease state of the patients and to evaluate the pain status of the patients after treatment.
The purpose of this research is to assess the analgesic and subjective effects of terpenes administered alone and in combination of THC.
Endometriosis affects 10% of reproductive aged women and causes severe pain and impaired quality of life (QoL). Surgery for endometriosis results in long term symptom relief in only 40% of women. QoL in endometriosis improves after surgery, but not to the level of healthy women. Mediators in QoL include pain intensity, pain cognitions, and stress. In a preliminary study, patients with negative pain cognitions reported higher pain intensities compared to patients with positive pain cognitions. This indicates that psychological factors explain considerable variance in pain, suggesting that changing these factors by psychological interventions may contribute to improving QoL. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is proven effective as a psychological treatment for pain-related symptoms. The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether usual care combined with CBT improves QoL in patients undergoing surgery for endometriosis compared to usual care only. Secondary objectives are to investigate whether pain intensity, pain cognitions, perceived stress, fatigue and objectively measured cortisol levels mediate the effects of CBT on QoL in both groups. In a randomized controlled trial, 100 endometriosis patients undergoing surgery will be randomized between usual care with CBT (CBT group) and usual care only (control group). Women in the CBT group will receive, in addition to usual care, one pre-surgery and six post-surgery sessions of CBT, aimed at positively influencing mediators of QoL. Women in the control group will receive only usual care. Follow-up will be 7,5 months. In both groups QoL, pain intensity, pain cognitions, fatigue, perceived stress (using questionnaires) and objective stress (assessing cortisol in a hair sample) will be assessed at baseline assessment, T1 (two weeks after completion of all CBT sessions) and T2 (follow-up). Recruitment and treatment of patients will take place in Rijnstate hospital and Radboud University Medical Center (UMC).
Study assessing the relative efficacy of five strengths of a fixed combination of acetaminophen and naproxen sodium is being investigated to help inform selection of dose(s) for further development and to evaluate the safety of a fixed combination of naproxen sodium and acetaminophen.
