Filter by: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.
Compare the effectiveness of tapentadol and tramadol as part of a multimodal analgesia treatment for Total Knee Replacement (TKR).
This study is a Randomized Controlled Trial exploring the effects of a Mindfulness interventions in reducing pain interference and opioid dose in patients with Chronic Low Back Pain. A total of 200 opioid-using patients with chronic pain, male and female participants will be enrolled, with a need for 160 completers. Patient will be randomly assigned into the Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement or the Psychoeducation comparison control group.
The purpose of this research is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of an interoception-based yoga program for chronic pain. Interoception involves your ability to feel sensations in your body (such as your heartbeat or muscle tension) as well as how you think about and interpret those sensations. Interoception may be an important component of chronic pain and the research team is studying whether yoga can change how you feel, think about, and interpret sensations in your body.
Complications after mastectomy include chronic pain and depression.
The effects of passive music listening on pain, anxiety and quality of life in patients with chronic low back pain in addition to physical therapy will be examined.
This study will apply low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound to dorsal root ganglia in patients with chronic neuropathic pain. The target will be validated using magnetic resonance imaging. The stimulation will first be delivered using a range of stimulation parameters during psychophysical and physiological monitoring. A well-tolerated stimulation protocol will be selected for subsequent testing in a blinded randomized sham-controlled cross-over trial. The level of pain will be evaluated using the Numerical Rating Scale (NSR-11) and the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) numerical rating scales of pain.
