Filter by:This study aims to better understand the way in which painful osteoarthritis affects different people and whether an anti-inflammatory medication such as Arcoxia (etoricoxib) can help to modify this pain. The study will use questionnaires and tests of pain sensitivity to identify arthritis sufferers with more widespread, nerve-type pain and then to investigate whether a daily dose of Arcoxia is more effective than a placebo pill in reducing these symptoms and improving functional movements. The study will also be comparing the same test results of a small group of subjects without knee pain.
The goal of the clinical study was to see if applying low level laser light therapy to the breasts during breast implant surgery could lessen pain experienced by 24 hours after the surgery.
The investigators hypothesize that giving Dexmedetomidine in combination with Fentanyl for pediatric patients undergoing hypospadias surgery, will reduce the fentanyl requirement for intraoperative and postoperative analgesia.
Pain is the most common physical symptom in primary care, accounting for an enormous burden in terms of patient suffering, quality of life, work and social disability, and health care and societal costs. Pain is particularly prevalent among veterans. Four major barriers to optimal care include underdetection of pain, inadequate initial treatment, failure to monitor adherence and symptom response, and failure to adjust treatment in patients not responding or intolerant of initial therapy. Therefore, we propose to conduct the Stepped Care to Optimize Pain care Effectiveness (SCOPE) study, a randomized clinical effectiveness trial in primary care.
RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II/III trial is studying how well image-guided radiosurgery or stereotactic body radiation therapy works and compares it to external-beam radiation therapy in treating patients with localized spine metastasis.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether paracetamol, ibuprofen or their combination can modify generation of radical oxygen species (ROS) from stimulated neutrophils.
The purpose of this study is to analyze income variables in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, and to analyze the effect of short vs. long Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.
A new device for interstitial cystitis is compared to inactive control to determine if it is safe and effective. The study lasts approximately 7 weeks with a 19-week follow-up period.
A vibrating cold pack placed proximal to the site of venipuncture will decrease the pain of cannulation when compared to vapocoolant spray.
The clinical trial is intended to implement, validate performances and evaluate efficacy of the pain monitoring device for automated assessment of patient's pain level. The efficacy of the pain monitor will be tested by comparing its results to the patient pain reports towards a given pain stimuli.
