Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if putting local anesthetic—or numbing medication—through a tiny tube next to the nerves that go to the knee will improve pain control during physical therapy, and ultimately improve the results of surgery. It will also determine if patients having knee replacement surgery may receive the same or better pain control at home compared with staying in the hospital, and if this improves their experience following surgery.
Minor needlestick procedures often cause significant pain and distress in children, yet interventions to reduce pain are used infrequently. ALGRX 3268 is a novel, single-use, prefilled, needle-free dispenser that immediately delivers powdered lidocaine into the epidermis and provides local analgesia in 2 to 3 minutes. The purpose of this prospective, randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial is to determine the efficacy and tolerability of ALGRX 3268 in children aged 3 to 18 years undergoing venipuncture. The trial will enroll a total of 306 children aged 3 to 18 years scheduled to undergo venipuncture of the back of the hand at a single study center.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of a new vapocoolant spray, Pain Ease, to reduce intravenous (IV) insertion pain in school-aged children receiving treatment in the Emergency Department.
The overall goal of this randomized, controlled trial is to test whether educational interventions - directed toward empowering patients and delivered via the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC's) secure patient Internet portal PatientSite - can improve the outcomes and satisfaction with care of adult primary care patients with 3 common conditions: chronic pain, depression, and progressive difficulty walking.
The overall purpose of this project is to improve nurse skills regarding neuropathic pain (NP) assessment, treatment and referral practices through implementation of an evidence-based algorithm and to improve selected patient outcomes as a result of algorithm use.
The primary objective of this study is to determine to what extent a collaborative intervention improves chronic pain-related outcomes in a VA primary care setting. We will also determine to what extent the intervention affects 1) treatment of co-occurring depression, 2) adherence of providers to guidelines for treating chronic pain, and 3) patient and provider satisfaction and attitudes related to chronic pain treatment.
Several studies have shown that behavioral therapy for chronic pain can be beneficial for chronic pain and that behavioral therapy for insomnia can be beneficial for insomnia. However, seldom do chronic pain patients with insomnia receive a behavioral treatment for insomnia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether treatment for insomnia is helpful for pain and whether treatment for pain is helpful for insomnia. It will also assess whether a combined treatment is any more or less effective for pain or for sleep. Finally, the study will assess whether any of these treatments leads to improvements in immune function.
The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of an integrated treatment for Veterans with comorbid chronic pain and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is hypothesized that Veterans who receive the integrated treatment will report more positive outcomes than individuals who are assigned to treatment as usual, pain treatment, or PTSD treatment.
Children ages 3-7 who are undergoing blood drawing receive either standard care, topical medicine for numbing (LMX4), or the study intervention which utilizes ultrasound to speed the onset of LMX4 from 30 minutes to 5 minutes. The child's pain with the blood drawing procedure is evaluated.
Children ages 3-17 who are undergoing port access receive both standard care, topical medicine for numbing (LMX4), and the study intervention which utilizes ultrasound to speed the onset of LMX4 from 30 minutes to 5 minutes. The procedures will be performed on 2 separate visits to the clinic. The child's pain with the access procedure is evaluated.
