The first magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) treatment of uterine fibroid using the ExAblate 2000 system was performed in 2001. Since then, more than 5000 treatments were done in more than 60 different hospitals around the world. The experience accumulated in this novel treatment was collected by InSightec and implemented into software and hardware updates, clinical tips and guidelines, all aimed to improve the clinical results and their durability, while maintaining a high level of safety. Based on extensive clinical experience and our internal research and development effort goals toward continuous improvement in ExAblate treatment safety and performance, limited changes have been made to the current ExAblate system. This modified ExAblate system version is designated as the ExAblate 2100 UF V2 system. The modifications are believed to improve system's friendliness to the user, without introducing new risks or other issues of safety of the device, and should not have any negative impact on the safety or technical efficacy of the treatments for patients.
The goal of this study is to collect comparative data on safety and efficacy of MR Guided Focused Ultrasound and External Beam Radiation for treatment of metastatic bone tumors or multiple myeloma.
This study will investigate the efficacy of a combination treatment of duloxetine + pregabalin compared with the maximal dose of each drug in monotherapy, in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP) who have not responded to the standard recommended dose of either drug. It will provide an answer to a common clinical question, namely, is it better to increase the dose of the current monotherapy or to combine both treatments early on, in patients who do not respond to standard doses of duloxetine or pregabalin.
The investigators hypothesize that acupuncture modifies the DNIC efficiency and that DNIC can serve as a predictor to identify 'good responders' to acupuncture early in therapy.
The use of iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) remains the gold-standard in spinal reconstructive surgery for achieving fusion. Major complications from the harvesting of ICBG are rare, but chronic pain has been reported in 10-39%. Catheters implanted at the time of surgery have been used to provide local anesthetic at the harvest site for 24-48 hours after surgery. This has been shown to decrease chronic pain at 4 years post-operatively. A single application of local anesthetic at surgery has been shown to decrease pain at the harvest site for up to 5 days. No study has demonstrated a benefit to using a single application of local anesthetic at the ICBG site beyond 5 days. In current clinical practice, the use of a local anesthetic at the ICBG site is determined according to surgeon preference. The purpose of this study is to determine if a single application of bupivacaine at the ICBG site, as currently done in some cases, provides any pain relief beyond 5 days such as that demonstrated with longer infusions of local anesthetics.
Patient comfort during and after eye injections will be compared after two numbing (anesthetic) protocols, an eye preparation utilizing three cotton swabs soaked in 4% lidocaine drops versus a preparation using 3.5% lidocaine hydrochloride ophthalmic gel.
The goal of this prospective, non-randomized, single-arm, phase 2 study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this treatment using this ExAblate conformal system in the treatment of pain resulting from metastatic bone tumors Up to Fifty (50) patients will be recruited in this feasibility study. The treated patients will be followed for 3-Months post their last treatment, patients with the standard contraindications to MRI examination, such as implanted metal devices (pacemakers, etc.), will be excluded.
The purpose of this project is to develop and evaluate the effects of a computer-tailored intervention targeting pain barriers and catastrophizing in adults having cardiac surgery. The hypotheses are that in the experimental group, in comparison to the control group, participants will show lower levels of pain, less pain interference in their activities, less attitudinal barriers, and less pain catastrophizing. A pilot-RCT is privileged to assess the preliminary effects of the intervention on the following outcomes: pain intensity, analgesic consumption, pain interference, barriers and pain catastrophizing.
This study will compare the ability of a single-dose of a novel ibuprofen formulation to relieve pain compared to placebo and standard ibuprofen in the treatment of episodic tension-type headache.
