Intravenous administration of esketamine is an effective recognized therapeutic option in refractory pain in CRPS, which sometimes in at least a part of the patients has a prolonged therapeutic effect. Unfortunately, CRPS literature contains a wide range of ketamine dosing regimens with the result that clinical protocols on dosage and administration are very heterogeneous. The current esketamine regimen in Erasmus MC consists of a 6-day hospital admission for continuous administration. In the Netherlands, both inpatient and outpatient esketamine treatments are offered. Inpatient and outpatient ketamine treatments have never been compared in randomized controlled trials and it is therefore unknown whether these two dosing regimens are equally effective. The primary objective is to demonstrate non-inferiority of experimental esketamine administration of 6x 1 day per 2 weeks (in total 3 months) as compared with standard esketamine administration of 1x 6 consecutive days. The end of study is at 6 months after the start of the study/treatment.
Shoulder pain is the third most common type of musculoskeletal disorder after back and neck pain in primary care. The prevalence of shoulder pain has been reported between 7% and 26% in the general population, with a life prevalence of up to 67%. The most common cause of shoulder pain is subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS), accounting for 44-60% of all shoulder disorders. Pain caused by SAPS can cause functional impairment and heavy social burden. Before recommending surgery, exercise therapy should be used as the first choice to treat SAPS. Several systematic reviews suggested that supervised exercise therapy can effectively improve the function and pain of patients with SAPS, while several other systematic reviews illustrated that the equal effectiveness of supervised exercises and home-based exercises. Supervised exercise therapy requires substantial and specific resources and may be difficult to apply clinically. Thus, a home-based self-training program may allow individuals to treat SAPS with affordable and easily accessible treatments. The use of complementary and alternative medicine treatment is growing continuously. Yi Jin Bang is a form of mind-body exercise and was developed in Hong Kong in the 1950s based on the principle of traditional Chinese mind-body exercise "Yi Jin Jing". In Chinese, Yi means change, Jin means tendons and sinews, while Bang means stick. As with all other Chinese medical exercises, the focus of Yi Jin Bang is on the cultivation of Qi (energy), which is assumed to harmonize mind and body and so might reduce pain. After reorganizing by physiotherapists, Yi Jin Bang has now become an easy-to-learn exercise program. Many scientific studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of mind-body exercises on pain, such as yoga, Tai Chi, and Qigong. However, the efficacy of Yi Jin Bang exercise in SAPS is not scientifically evaluated. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to compare the effectiveness of ten weeks of home-based Yi Jin Bang exercise, versus home-based stretching and strengthening exercise, and versus waitlist control on pain, disability, flexibility, and muscular endurance in adults with SAPS. This study hypothesized that home-based Yi Jin Bang exercise and home-based stretching and strengthening exercise have similar effects in reducing pain and disability and improving flexibility and muscular endurance for individuals with SAPS.
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among females. Nearly 40-60% of breast surgery patients experience severe acute postoperative pain, with severe pain persisting for 6-12 months in almost 20-50% of patients (post mastectomy pain syndrome) which is defined according to International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) as pain which persists more than 3 months after mastectomy/lumpectomy affecting the anterior thorax, axilla, and/or medial upper arm. Regionale anesthesia is one of the strategies with the potential to prevent the development of chronic pain following breast surgery. We hypothesize that erector spinae plane block is going to be more effective than serratus anterior plane block in the prevention of postmastectomy pain syndrome.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of supervised exercise therapy with active soft tissue and joint mobilization. The effectiveness of telerehabilitation- active mobilization and exercises in the evaluation of pain and function in patients with subacromial pain syndrome will be examined and compared with face-to-face treatment, which is passive manual therapy.
This study will investigate the feasibility of using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and a sensorimotor training task to treat symptoms of pain in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). rTMS is a non-invasive technique that involves delivering magnetic pulses in rapid succession over the area of the brain that controls movement. The sensorimotor training task involves non-invasive nerve stimulation used to cue a participant to complete motor actions. The purpose of this study is to determine whether recruitment is feasible in this patient population and patients maintain adherence to the intervention. In addition, the investigators want to determine whether rTMS combined with sensorimotor training is an effective intervention to alleviate symptoms of pain in patients with CRPS.
this is an observational and cross-sectional prevalence study. 10-18 years aged participants with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were recruited in the study. Myofascial pain syndrome will be questioned to the participants. additionally, all participants will be evaluated using their findings for scoliosis and myofascial pain syndrome diagnostic criteria. Cobb angle, coronal balance, shoulder and pelvis asymmetry, sagittal spino-pelvic parameters of the spine (cervical lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis angles and sagittal vertical axis, sacral slop angle and pelvic incidence) will be measured.
Scrambler Therapy is a type of non-invasive neuromodulation. According to the researches that studied the effects of the existing Scrambler therapy, 10 times of Scrambler Therapy showed a significant pain relief lasting for more than 1-3 months in various pain disorders such as post-herpetic neuralgia, cancer-related neuropathic pain, and mixed pain. No treatment-related side effects have been reported in Scrambler therapy conducted in previous studies. The most inconvenient thing about Scrambler Therapy is that it has to be treated more than 10 times during specific period, so frequent visits to the hospital for treatment linked to the higher burden for the patient's cost and even those are not fully covered by the government's insurance. To reduce this discomfort and expand the range of treatment in the era of Corona of untact treatment, LG Electronics devised a home self-scrambler treatment device for pain patients. The LG Medipain device has the same treatment function as the existing hospital Scrambler treatment device, but there has been no study on its efficacy and safety. Therefore, the investigators want to conduct this research and find out about the safety and equal efficiency of the LG Medipain Therapy. In this study, it is expected that pain relief and improvement of quality of life can be obtained for patients with various types of chronic pain through self-application of LG Medipain device.
Virtual reality creates interactive, multimodal sensory stimuli that have demonstrated considerable success in reducing pain. Much research so far has focused on VR's ability to shift patients' attention away from pain; however, these methods provide only transient relief through means of distraction and therefore do not offer long-term analgesic remediation. An alternative and promising approach is to utilize VR as an embodied simulation technique, where virtual body illusions are employed as tools to improve body perception and produce potentially more enduring analgesia. Disturbances in body perception (i.e., alterations in the way the body is perceived) are increasingly acknowledged as a pertinent feature of chronic pain, and include aberrations in perceived shape, size, or color that differ from objective assessment. The degree of body perception distortion positively correlates with pain, and prior interventions have evinced that treatments aimed at reducing body perception distortions correspondingly ameliorate pain. Several recent experimental research studies have demonstrated the analgesic efficacy of body illusions in a range of pain conditions. Immersive VR multisensory feedback training signifies a promising new avenue for the potential treatment of chronic pain by supporting the design of targeted virtual environments to alter (distorted) body perceptions. Various illusions have been described to alter pain perception; however, they. Have not been directly compared to each other. The multimodal stimulus control of VR enables physical-to-virtual body transfer illusions, resulting in the feeling that the virtual body is one's own. These virtual body illusions can modulate body perception with ease and could therefore be used to alter the perceived properties of pain, consequently utilizing a virtual avatar to specifically shape interactive processing between central and peripheral mechanisms.
