Filter by:This was a single-blind, randomized controlled trial. Seventy-six patients who underwent spinal anesthesia for surgery were randomized into the Shotblocker group or Control group. Before the insertion of a 25-gauge spinal needle, Shotblocker was applied just before the spinal needle insertion in the Shotblocker group. 10-cm visual analog scale to evaluate the pain intensity of spinal needle insertion and a five-point scale for patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups.
Background: Research evidence shows that prevalence of pain in adolescents is increasing and is therefore recognized as a growing health problem. Psychological interventions delivered remotely through the internet may reduce intensity or severity of pain among children and adolescents with chronic pain. The iCanCope with Pain program is an existing web- and mobile-based self-management program, which is developed as a multi-center study funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and is based on identified health care needs and current best practices for pain self-management. Objectives: The primary objectives are to describe the translation and cultural adaptation of the Norwegian version of the iCanCope with Pain mobile application and evaluate the effect in an upcoming randomized controlled trail with adolescents with chronic pain. Study sample: 16-19-year-old adolescents with self-declared persistent and/or chronic pain. Recruited from high schools in Southern Norway. Theoretical framework: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is explained by an integration of behavioral and cognitive theories of human behavior and psychopathology and is often the preferred treatment of choice for adolescents with different health disorders. The theoretical framework of CBT is integrated in the iCanCope with Pain app in terms of five components. The intervention group will receive the app with all five components: (I) symptom trackers for pain, sleep, mood, physical, and social function; (II) goal setting to improve pain and function; (III) coping toolbox of pain self-management strategies; (IV) social support; (V) age-appropriate pain education. The control group will receive the app with only the first self-registration component (I) symptom trackers for pain, sleep, mood, physical, and social function. Methods: Both qualitative and quantitative data will be gathered for evaluating the Norwegian version of the iCanCope with Pain app. Usability testing are assessed in both laboratory settings and in field using observation, interviews and questionnaires, which provide necessary information for an upcoming randomized controlled trail (RCT). Outcomes will in the RCT be measured at baseline (mid-April) and after an 8 weeks intervention (mid-June). The study is part of a PhD project.
This study is a prospective, single-arm, open label, single center to confirm the effectiveness and safety of an ultra-high frequency (500 KHz) spinal cord stimulation in patients with chronic back pain or lower limb pain.
This study evaluates the hypoalgesic effect of global and specific cervical joint manipulation in healthy individuals. At first the participants received one of the interventions and after 48 hours, the other.
The overall goal of this single session semi-structured interview project is to explore the validation and contradiction of the preexisting pain beliefs in patients with chronic pain. Aim 1: After patients watch an educational video, explore occurrences of perceived validation and contradiction and the impact of validation and contradiction on pain beliefs, emotion, and pain. Aim 2: Obtain patients' recommendations for improving the educational value of the video.
Fifty patients with hip arthroplasty were purposively recruited for the study. They were allocated into two groups randomly with equal number. One group had TEN, other served as control. Pain intensity was measured every day of the treatment.
This study evaluates the hypoalgesic effect of the TENS application associated with joint manipulation of the cervical region in healthy individuals. One group had both active treatments, the other group received both placebo treatments, the third and fourth group received only one of the two treatments actively and the other placebo
This study will evaluate the acceptability, use, and general effect that exposure to virtual reality has on hospitalized patients reporting at least one discomfort including recent or current moderate-severe pain.
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind clinical trial to examine the comparative effects on OAKP of CGS-200-1 (1% Capsaicin content) (N=40), CGS-200-5 (5% Capsaicin content) (N=40), and CGS-200 Vehicle (no Capsaicin) (N=40) in subjects with OA of the knees according to the 1986 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria. Assigned doses will be applied at the clinic for 60 minutes on each of four consecutive days.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of pulse widths <500 µS and >1000 µS on clinical outcomes during a temporary SCS trial.
