Filter by:The patient, who is experiencing chronic pain in the lower extremities persisting for more than three months, is scheduled to undergo lumbar sympathetic ganglion block. To evaluate the technical success of the sympathetic blockade, temperature and perfusion index (PI) will be measured at one-minute intervals over a 20-minute period before and after the procedure on the treated side and the opposite side foot. Additionally, other variables related to the procedure will be assessed before the procedure, after the procedure, before discharge, and during follow-up outpatient visits or phone surveys at 1 week and 1 month after the procedure.
The aim of our study is to investigate transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as a treatment option in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, disseminate it to a broader patient population, and simultaneously demonstrate its applicability in the treatment of complex regional pain syndrome using a novel frequency matching.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of Ultra Sound (US) guided radiofrequency stellate ganglion block (SGB) and radiofrequency Thoracic Paravertebral block (TPVB) comparing to US-guided SGB or TPVB alone on the post-mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS).
Background: There is low quality evidence supporting the use of rehabilitation in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), despite it is the first line approach in the Guidelines . Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) may be useful to improve pain and function at mid term (6 months). Graded Pain Exposure Approaches (GPE) seem to improve pain but not function at mid term. In other type of chronic pain conditions GPE offers better outcomes than "pain contingent" (exercises avoiding pain) approaches at short term (3 months) and similar at mid term. Following the recommendations of Authors, we will evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combined therapy of GMI and GPE in people with CRPS type 1. Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of a combined therapy of GPE and GMI in front of only GMI in people with CRPS-1 and the clinical impact on the primary outcome (Severity of the disease) of the intervention. Design: Feasibility Randomized controlled Trial, single blind of evaluator, 2 parallel arms. Measurement pre-intervention, post-intervention , 1 and 3 months follow-up. Population: People 18 years old or above with CRPS type 1 diagnosed by Budapest criteria and (1) without any psychological or psychiatric disease, (2) nor any neurosensorial issue that could compromise the realization of the therapy proposed (3) neither any major surgery intervention related to CRPS (e.g neurostimulation or sympathectomy) (4) nor minor intervention on the last 3 months (e.g. nerve blocks). Outcomes: Primary outcomes: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Severity Scale (severity of the disease) and Safety Outcomes ( oedema, pain, temperature, Range of Motion). Secondary outcomes: 5Q-5D-5L (quality of life), SF-MPQ (Quality, Intensity and location of pain), PPT (pain pressure threshold), CPM ( pain inhibition pathways), FAAM or Quick Dash (function), PCS (catastrophism), Self efficacy in chronic pain questionnaire (self-efficacy), Dynamometry (Hand Grip strength),
The purpose of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of Empowered Relief for Youth with chronic pain (ER-Y). ER-Y is a single-session pain management class for youth focused on pain science education and teaching self-regulatory skills for pain management based on the evidence-based adult ER class. Feasibility and acceptability of ER-Y will be assessed post-class. Preliminary efficacy will be assessed by administering surveys at baseline, 4-weeks, 8-weeks, and 12-weeks post class.
To evaluate the efficacy of three regimens of sub anesthetic dose of ketamine infusion in relieving chronic refractory pain in patients with complex regional pain syndrome
This observational study aims to understand phenotype-specific molecular signatures in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
Evaluate the efficacy of two regimens of management in relieving chronic refractory pain in patients with upper limb complex regional pain syndrome after orthopedic trauma
The investigators hypothesize that the association of I-ONE® therapy with standard rehabilitation treatment can optimize the clinical and functional recovery of patients with pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) (I-ONE® therapy) of the foot or ankle.
This study is designed to test if the use of virtual reality (VR) can improve chronic pain related to CRPS. One way is to use virtual reality. Virtual reality involves looking into a set of goggles and interacting with a computer-simulated world. The use of VR has been shown to be an effective treatment for other pain conditions (Hoffman et al., 2019) and is inexpensive and noninvasive.
