Filter by:There are many reasons for using a vacuum apparatus or forceps to assist in delivering a baby. The traction and pressure on the baby`s head due to the vacuum apparatus or forceps may cause pain and discomfort for some time after the delivery. To date, the pain experienced by the newborn and the potential beneficial effects of pain medications after vacuum or forceps deliveries have not been systematically studied. It is possible that administration of paracetamol suppositories to the newborn may be helpful in these situations, since this medication is known to ameliorate pain in older children and adults.
The purpose of the study is to assess the long-term safety profile of Tapentadol (CG5503) extended release (ER) at dosages ranging from 100 to 250 mg twice a day in treating patients with moderate to severe chronic pain over a period of 1 year. The study will also assess dosage requirements over the long term; characterize adverse events and tolerability, sleep quality, and potential symptoms of withdrawal; characterize pain intensity scores and overall impression of change; and characterize patient-related health outcomes.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if using acupuncture with or without electrical stimulation in cancer patients with high levels of pain can help to relieve the pain.
Tramadol is a largely used analgesic drug. Its role however on sensitization as occurs for example in neuropathic pain is not very well known. This protocol aims therefore at studying the effect of tramadol in a human pain model with sensitization induced by a cold stimulus, using evoked potentials to elucidate how pain is modified when tramadol is administered.
A previous study has shown that tropisetron inhibits the analgesic effect of paracetamol in healthy volunteers. This study aims at confirming this pharmacodynamic interaction in patients with post-surgery pain.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether tapentadol (CG5503) prolonged-release (PR) tablets at doses of 100-250 mg twice daily provide a better pain relief in patients with moderate to severe chronic pain due to osteoarthritis of the knee than a placebo (a medication without active substance). In addition the tolerability of CG5503 PR will be assessed. One third of the patients will receive CG5503 and one third will receive placebo. For further comparison one third of the patients will receive oxycodone controlled release (CR) at doses of 20-50 mg twice daily which is an active approved pain medication. Please note that tapentadol ER (Extended Release) and tapentadol PR (Prolonged Release) are identical and used interchangeably. This is due to United States of America and European naming conventions.
RATIONALE: Yoga may improve inflammation, fatigue, and depression in female breast cancer survivors. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well Hatha yoga works in improving physical activity, inflammation, fatigue, and distress in female breast cancer survivors.
Long-term opioid therapy is commonly administered for the management of severe cancer pain. Increasing doses of opioids are titrated against effects until analgesia is achieved or intolerable adverse effects occur. Ketamine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, has been reported to improve analgesia in patients with uncontrolled pain receiving high doses of opioids. This study aims at determining the effectiveness of ketamine as an adjuvant to opioids in relieving cancer pain.
This is a small study known as a pilot study. This pilot study is being done to see if a difference in pain from intramuscular palivizumab injection can be detected if tetracaine a topical numbing gel is used compared to no medication (placebo). If a difference is found in this pilot study, then a larger study may be done to confirm that there is a difference in pain experience.
This purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with nasal CO2 in the treatment of pain and other symptoms related to temporomandibular disorder (TMD).
