NCT ID: NCT03926364 Completed - Neuropathic Pain Clinical Trials

Profile of Pain and Unpleasant Sensations in Patients With Referred Pain

Start date: March 30, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This feasibility study primarily aimed to assess the technology acceptance and usability of a pain tracking software in patients with spinally referred chronic pain. The secondary aim was to assess the fluctuations in pain intensity and distribution, using the pain tracking software during a 3-month period. Additionally, the study aimed to explore the patients' behavior when self-reporting pain when given the opportunity to use a variety of pain quality descriptors, such as tingling, burning and stabbing. Patients with spinally referred chronic pain will be recruited to participate. Participants will be asked to use a pain tracking software to create weekly pain reports for a 3-month period. These pain reports consist of pain drawings and intensity scales. Additionally, patients will complete baseline disability and pain catastrophizing online questionnaires. The project does not affect treatment or does not offer any intervention.

NCT ID: NCT03197337 Completed - Vulvodynia Clinical Trials

Is Localized Provoked Vulvodynia Caused by Laxity of the Utero-Sacral Ligaments?

Start date: July 23, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Small-scale experiments conducted by our group have led to the hypothesis that Localized Provoked Vulvodynia (LPV) may be due to laxity of the Utero-Sacral ligaments (USL). According to this hypothesis, the pain experienced by women with LPV is due to the USL's inability to provide appropriate support for the pudendal nerve. In order to test this hypothesis we will conduct a single-blind randomized control trial in which patients with LPV will undergo a pressure-test - pressure will be temporarily applied to the posterior fornix using a large-sized applicator, thus strengthening the USL and adding support to the pudendal nerve. While the pressure is being applied, the cotton-swab test will be performed (palpating vulvar and vestibular sites using a cotton-swab), and each patient will rate the elicited pain on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 - not painful, 10 - worst pain imaginable). The results for each patient will be compared to their baseline level of pain (which will be recorded in the beginning of the experiment) and to the level of pain they report while inserting a speculum but not applying any pressure.
