Filter by:RATIONALE: Analgesics, antiemetics, steroids, and radiation therapy are effective in helping to control symptoms caused by cancer. It is not yet known whether these treatments are more effective when given with or without docetaxel in treating patients with relapsed esophageal cancer or stomach cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying symptom control given together with docetaxel to see how well it works compared with symptom control given without docetaxel in treating patients with relapsed esophageal cancer or stomach cancer.
The purpose of this study is to describe clinical and demographic characteristics of patients receiving prescription medications containing oxycodone immediate release (OXYRX), to characterize patient and prescriber perceptions of the effectiveness outcomes and tolerability of OXYRX treatment, to describe prescriber decision-making about pain management with a Schedule II opioid and to explore how prescribers identify suspected abuse of pain medications.
A number of studies suggest that training to increase different types of brain waves is related to pain relief. The purpose of the second phase of this study is to see if neurofeedback training might help people with chronic pain control their pain better. The information from the study may help the investigators treat chronic pain better in the future.
To investigate efficacy, safety and tolerability of Celecoxib in patients with posttraumatic pain for the duration of 8 days.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Radiation therapy may be effective in treating malignant spinal cord compression in patients who have received previous radiation therapy to the spine. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying radiation therapy in treating patients with malignant spinal cord compression.
RATIONALE: A computer-based system for assessing symptoms may be effective for patients with metastatic or advanced cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well computerized questionnaires work in assessing symptoms, pain, depression, and physical function in patients with metastatic and/or advanced local/regional cancer.
Primary Objective: To confirm the safety and tolerability of the fixed dose combination of a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID), ketoprofen, associated to a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI), omeprazole, in Mexican patients. Secondary Objective: To confirm the efficacy of the combination: - Relief of pain (Visual Analyzed Score (VAS)) - Patients global assessment of disease activity, scored as a scale of 1 (no limitation of normal activities) to 5 (inability to carried out all normal activities)
The purpose of this study is triple, i.e. document single dose pharmacokinetics and -dynamics of intravenous paracetamol in preterm and term neonates after a loading dose (20 mg/kg iv bolus paracetamol), document multiple dose pharmacokinetics and -dynamics of intravenous paracetamol in preterm and term neonates, based on the daily doses routinely used within the neonatal intensive care unit and as reported in literature. Finally, document safety of single and repeated dose of intravenous paracetamol in preterm and term neonates.
The purpose of this study is to examine endoscopic ultrasound guided celiac plexus neurolysis (CPN) with analgesic therapy in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer as it applies to decreasing the severity of abdominal pain when compared to analgesic therapy alone.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of characteristics of pain in a cohort of patients with prior stroke suspected of having central post stroke pain, identified through a postal questionnaire.
