Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test a home-based virtual reality rehabilitation application in patients with chronic low back pain. The main question it aims to answer are: Is a prototype of a novel VR software application effective at reducing pain, improving daily function, improving range of motion, and reducing fear of movement in adult patients with chronic low back pain compared with a passive VR intervention? Participants in the treatment group will use the application daily for 20 minutes for a period of 3 weeks at home and unsupervised. Researchers will compare use of the VR application with a control group that watches 2D video to see if the treatment group have improved pain, disability, range of motion, and fear of movement.
Chronic lower back pain (CLBP) affects approximately 20% of the global population. The study objective is to determine if impulsivity, inhibitory control, drug choice, and/or cognitive distortions predict opioid misuse and disability in patients with chronic pain. This is a prospective consented cross-sectional study characterizing behavioral and cognitive phenotypes using both patient-reported survey measures and cognitive testing. Outcome measures include correlations between impulsivity measures, opioid drug choice responses and cognitive distortion scores, and risk for opioid misuse (Primary outcomes: COMM scores, SOAPPR scores). Secondary outcomes is BPI measurement. A Certificate of Confidentiality will provide additional protections for participants.
The ability to be connected and act according to bodily information is fundamental in chronic pain adjustment. This study aims to test the feasibility of an intervention designed to improve interoceptive sensibility, i.e., the ability to sense, interpret, and regulate bodily sensations in chronic musculoskeletal pain patients.
The effects of passive music listening on pain, anxiety and quality of life in patients with chronic neck pain in addition to physical therapy will be examined.
The goal of the MIVetsCan Can-Coach Trial is to test four coaching sessions to help Veterans with chronic pain use their own cannabis products more effectively to manage pain and related symptoms.
Chronic pain and heavy drinking are common co-occurring conditions among patients presenting to primary care settings. Given their impact on functioning and medical outcomes, there would be considerable benefit to developing an accessible, easily utilized, integrative approach to reduce alcohol use and pain that can be readily incorporated into the health care settings. The objective of this study is to test a modified version of a smartphone-based intervention for reducing pain and alcohol use among individuals experiencing chronic pain who engage in heavy drinking. The primary goal is to test the feasibility and acceptability of implementing this intervention in a sample that includes participants from rural areas and providing initial data on the utility of the intervention.
Title: Self-hypnosis training in chronic pain management: A pilot study Our primary objective concerns the effect of hypnosis intervention on change in 24h pain between T0 (pre-intervention) and T4 (3-month follow-up). The secondary objectives concern the effects of the intervention on (i) change in 24h pain between T0 and T5 (6-month follow-up), (ii) changes from T0 in measures of the functional impact of pain, (iii) changes from T0 in anxiety-depression scores and (iv) changes from T0 in quality of life. The study design is a Randomized efficacy pilot study. The study focuses on patients practicing self-hypnosis within HMR groups. The study population is pain clinic patients. The sample size is 60 pain clinic patients. Study duration: February 2024 - December 2024. Center responsible for the study: Centre de Recherche de l'Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont (CR-HMR) - CEMTL, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Adverse events: none expected.
Background: Kinesiophobia or fear of movement, is defined as an excessive and irrational fear of physical movement to avoid painful injury, harm or re-injury. The existing scales measuring kinesiophobia are thought to have some limitations (the difficulty of patients to understand and answer the questions, the presence of questions that are not suitable for the patient's condition). These questionnaires may not have specific questions enough to assess fear of movement in different patient populations. Aim: The aim of this study is to develop and validate the Turkish Atılım Kinesiophobia Scale. Material/method: In the first stage of the study, research on kinesiophobia was reviewed and a total of 38 questions were created for the scale. The questions were submitted to the opinion of 11 experts working in the physiotherapy and rehabilitation field. Then A total of 100 patients with acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain completed the Turkish Atılım Kinesiophobia Scale and Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia.
The goal of this living-lab clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of digital health monitoring and feedback platform for community dwelling older adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Identify digital sensing variables that are predictive of mental and physical health declines and health emergencies of older adults - Develop digital health monitoring service to inform individualized daily health status of older adults users - Develop ICT network to share the daily health status and emergency signals with community based healthcare service providers and family caregivers if an older adult user approves of them to receive their health information. Participants will be asked to participate in a living lab using a wearable sensor, motion sensor, and smartphone applications for 6 weeks and also take part in pre-mid-post surveys to evaluate the usability, accuracy, and effectiveness of the digital healthcare service platform to improve health managements and connections with community and family caregivers. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare age and gender matched control group to see if health status of the living-lab group is better than the control group.
