Filter by:The aims of this study are threefold. First, to investigate whether spinal nociceptive processing - represented here by the nociceptive flexion reflex (NFR) - is influenced by thoracic transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) in a spatially selective manner, i.e., whether effects are only observed for lower limb NFRs, but not for upper limb NFRs. Second, to investigate - in a double-blind, sham-controlled, within-participant design - whether anodal and cathodal tsDCS do affect the NFR in a polarity-dependent manner. Third, to investigate whether tsDCS effects observed on a spinal measure (NFR) are also observed in responses that are mediated supra-spinally, namely autonomic parameters and pain intensity ratings.
The aim of this project is to develop and test the Helping Educators Learn Pediatric Pain Assessment & Intervention Needs (HELP Pain) program. HELP Pain provides training for school providers (e.g., school nurses, mental health professionals) on strategies to assess and manage pain-related concerns in school children. Participants will learn cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to help school children manage pain, and report on their use of strategies, and child's progress throughout the school year. Follow-up data will be collected in year 2.
This study is based on a 4-week double-blind, randomized, controlled, parallel design investigation to investigate the impact of intermittent negative pressure on spasticity and pain in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) (NCT05562453). The investigational device (FlowOx2.0™) is composed of a Pressure Chamber and a Control Unit (and disposable parts). All subjects will receive the same pressure chamber but be randomized to either a Control Unit that generates intermittent negative pressure (INP) of - (minus) 40 mmHg or a Control Unit that generates INP of - 10 mmHg. FlowOx2.0™ generating -40 mmHg is the investigational device, and FlowOx2.0™ generating -10 mmHg, is the comparator device. After the initial 4-week double-blind period (NCT05562453), all participants will be offered the -40mmHg control unit to be used during a 6-months optional extension part. The participants who volunteer to continue in the 6-months optional extension part will be included in this study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of tamsulosin and tadalafil compared to placebo in the treatment and prevention of urinary disorders after transperineal prostate biopsy
The purpose of this research is to identify physiological markers to determine pain intensity and build an Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled system to objectively measure pain intensity. Researchers hope to personalize pain medication regimens to help prevent medication over-use.
First-trimester abortion aspiration procedures are painful and sedation is typically provided. It is unsafe to drive after sedation due to the prolonged motor delay from some anesthetic agents. Without a known escort, most clinics do not allow patients to use public transportation, taxis, or rideshare services. Arranging a ride may be harder for those seeking abortion care than other surgical procedures given privacy concerns and the need to travel far distances. Additionally, some people have medical reasons that makes sedation in an outpatient abortion clinic unsafe. As abortion restrictions increase and more people need to travel far distances to access care, it is important to investigate non-pharmacologic pain control options. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) delivers a low-level electrical current through the skin. By activating the descending inhibitory systems in the central nervous system, these pulses of electrical current reduce sensitivity to pain. TENS has been shown to be effective in decreasing pain with menstrual cramps and during medication abortion, and it was found to be non-inferior to IV sedation for first-trimester procedural abortion. However, it remains unclear if TENS is better than ibuprofen and local anesthesia via paracervical block alone. The overarching goal of this research is to identify an inexpensive, non-pharmacologic, alternative pain control strategy for those with a medical or social contraindication to IV sedation. The specific aim of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of TENS to prevent pain during first-trimester procedural abortion. To achieve this objective, a blinded, randomized superiority trial comparing the use of TENS to sham for management of pain during first-trimester aspiration abortion is proposed. This research is significant because the validation of a non-pharmacologic pain management technique would decrease barriers to accessing abortion care.
Use of inhaled essential oils to reduce the symptoms of pain or nausea, enabling a patient to have increase participation with PT or OT, thereby minimizing hospitalization-related risks and potentially reducing the length of stay in the hospital.
The main objective study is to compare the use of the cryoSPHERE probe to the standard-of-care method for pain management of patients receiving robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, including reductions in opioid pain medication use and the development of post-surgical morbidity.
This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, pivotal study to evaluate the OrthoCor Active System in individuals prescribed its use in comparison with the standard of care intervention for pain relief.
The aim of the study was to asses levels and relationship of chronic pain, anxiety, depression and perceived stress in TMD patients .
