NCT ID: NCT06454669 Recruiting - Chronic Pain Clinical Trials

Dronabinol as an Adjunct for Reducing Pain

DARP
Start date: June 15, 2024
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This exploratory, proof-of-concept study is a double-blind (participants and investigators will be blinded), placebo-controlled, randomized, two-arm clinical trial of Marinol [dronabinol, synthetic Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)] for chronic low back pain (cLBP) with a 2:1 allocation ratio. Up to 75 subjects will be enrolled in this pilot study and randomized to receive doses of THC (up to 30 mg/day), orally, over 8 weeks. This study will be conducted at a single site; it does not include any stratifications, and there is no interim analysis planned. Notably, the goal is to determine whether there is enough evidence of the safety of THC to support the development of later-phase clinical trials. Thus, detailed developmental plans are contingent on the outcomes of this study.

NCT ID: NCT06442956 Not yet recruiting - Heat Stress Clinical Trials

Effect of Rapid Heat Stress on Firefighters Musculoskeletal Injury Risk

Start date: July 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study will examine the effect of heat stress on factors that influence musculoskeletal injury risk in firefighters. Participants will attend 4 data collection sessions. 1: informed consent, screening, and familiarization. 2: pre-tests (strength, balance, and movement quality). 3: heat stress (rapid or gradual) followed by post-tests (strength, balance, and movement quality). 4: heat stress (rapid or gradual) followed by post-tests.

NCT ID: NCT05834959 Completed - Lower Back Injury Clinical Trials

Implementation of a Fitness Education and Training Program to Support Safe Patient Handling and Safe Lifting

Start date: March 14, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This project involves the delivery of education and training sessions to Seven Oaks General Hospital (SOGH) staff, with the goal of workplace injury prevention. Education will include review of provincial safe patient handling and back injury prevention guidelines and review of core fitness competencies required to comply with injury prevention standards. Training sessions will include exercises to improve core, gluteal and quadricep strength, hip/knee mobility and hamstring flexibility. Training will also be an opportunity to provide feedback on functional movement performance. Outcomes will include questionnaires on: low back pain/dysfunction; movement confidence; work injury rates and participant satisfaction with program. The project will advise stakeholders of the benefits and challenges associated with implementation of a fitness program to support safe patient handling techniques, as outlined in the provincial guidelines for healthcare workers.

NCT ID: NCT05802914 Enrolling by invitation - Low Back Pain Clinical Trials

Soft Active Back Exosuit to Reduce Workplace Back Pain

Start date: February 8, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if a wearable back exosuit can make it safer and easier for workers who bend, lift, and lower objects in an industrial setting. Many studies have shown that wearable back exoskeletons or exosuits can provide helpful forces making a person's back muscles work less. It is believed that exosuits can lower a person's level of workplace effort and fatigue, making it less likely for them to have back pain at work. Back exosuits could be a solution to make a job easier, but how well they work in the real-world over a long period of time is unclear. The investigators want to know if workers who wear a back exosuit during the workday will have lower rates of lower back pain or injury than those who are not wearing a back exosuit. The investigators also want to know how well exosuit technology integrates into the workplace (for example, how this technology improves or hinders job performance). Participants will be randomized into an exosuit group or control group. Participants in the exosuit group will be given a back exosuit that they can use as much as they want at work. All participants will complete surveys monthly. Researchers will compare the exosuit group to the control group to see if using a back exosuit in a workplace can reduce a person's risk and impact of low back injury or pain. The investigators also want to see if a back exosuit impacts job productivity and if participants find the exosuit becomes useful or bothersome over time.

NCT ID: NCT05463367 Recruiting - Chronic Pain Clinical Trials

Project 1 Aim 2, Adaptations of the Brain in Chronic Pain With Opioid Exposure

Start date: January 1, 2021
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This study is designed to track brain functional changes in individuals with i) chronic back pain + opioid use (CBP+O) and individuals with ii) chronic back pain + opioid misuse disorder (CBP+mOUD) following a brief drug delay and re-exposure manipulation. Re-exposure could be placebo, the participant's own opioid dose, or a dopaminergic treatment (DA+NSAID). The participants will be also evaluated for changes in cognition, emotion, and motor abilities with opioid delay and re-exposure to placebo, opioid, or DA+NSAID.

NCT ID: NCT05359705 Completed - Back Injuries Clinical Trials

Comparison of Motion and Comfort for Thoracolumbosacral Orthoses - Group 2

Start date: June 23, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study will measure and compare range of motion (ROM), motion during simulated activities of daily living ADL), tissue interface pressure (TIP), muscle activation (EMG), and trunk stiffness and damping measurements (TSD) for two pairs of back braces: Postural TLSO (456), and TLSO (464).

NCT ID: NCT05306665 Recruiting - Spinal Stenosis Clinical Trials

PREventing Pain After Surgery

PREPS
Start date: January 13, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The present study aims to adapt and modify a brief presurgical Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention aimed at preventing the transition to Chronic Post-Surgical Pain (CPSP) and reducing long-term opioid use. Investigators will then assess the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of the finalized intervention to prevent the transition to CPSP and reduce post-surgical opioid use six months following lumbar spine surgery. Finally, investigators will identify psychosocial and psychophysical phenotypes associated with response to this intervention.

NCT ID: NCT03905681 Completed - Acute Back Injury Clinical Trials

TENS Efficacy on Acute Back Pain in an Emergency Department Triage

Start date: April 2, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) devices produce a gentle electrical stimulation that when applied through pads applied directly to the skin, has a noticeable effect in reducing pain associated with various types of injuries and ailments. Several recent studies have shown efficacy when used for acute pain specific to primary dysmenorrhea, renal colic, lower-extremity pain, and pain associated with spinal cord injury, and was achieved without adverse effects. This study is intended to compare the effects of TENS units on acute back pain on ambulatory patients who are awaiting emergency medical treatment, to uncover if a statistically-significant analgesic effect is noted compared to a placebo device.

NCT ID: NCT02657265 Completed - Trauma Clinical Trials

SpineJack® Versus Conservative Treatment Study (SPICO Study)

Start date: January 13, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study will compare two standard treatments in acute stable traumatic vertebral fractures (types A1 and A3.1 by Magerl Classification). The two treatments are as follows: 1. SpineJack® system 2. Conservative Orthopedic Management consisting of brace and pain medication.
