Filter by:The purpose of this longitudinal exploratory prospective study is to investigate the brain changes in the development of chronic low back pain.
The investigators are conducting a pilot (i.e. a small study) in order to find out the effectiveness and safety of medical cannabis in the management of chronic pain. At the end of this 3 month study, investigators will gather information on how easy it is for patients to enroll and complete the entire study. The results of this pilot study will help the study team design a larger randomized controlled trial.
This research will provide a better understanding of the interaction of chronic neuropathic pain and its interaction with the mental state. In addition, he will compare the results of simple classical physiotherapy intervention with cognitive physiotherapy intervention in chronic neuropathic pain. Finally, it will highlight the usefulness of integrating elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy in physiotherapy intervention to achieve a comprehensive anthropocentric therapy.
The PROSTIM study is an ongoing prospective, multicentric and observational clinical study. Patients are recruited in three different centers in Eastern Belgium from May 2018 onwards. This real-world data collection approaches the outcome assessment of daily medical practice. A hierarchical cluster analysis is used to identify significant patient clusters based on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), Pain Vigilance and Awareness Questionnaire (PVAQ), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and EuroQol with five dimensions for health-related quality of life (EQ-5D). Patient clusters will be assessed on the change in biopsychosocial variables after six weeks, three and twelve months. Secondary outcomes include the comparison of pain medication use, SCS parameters, treatment satisfaction and return to work.
The primary objective is changes in spine and lower limb pain following a laser-assisted neural decompression (LAND) procedure for the treatment of lumbar, thoracic, or cervical spine and/or extremity pain. Secondary objectives will be changes in quality of life, prescription pain medication use, and patient satisfaction with procedure outcomes.
The current study is intended to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a future trial to evaluate the effects of implementing an advanced practice physiotherapist (APP) role within a chronic pain clinic setting.
The Nu-V3 Clinical Study is a prospective, single-arm, open-label, multi-center study using the Nu-V3 cranial nerve stimulation treatment device in patients with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and/or sleeplessness. For this Phase II study, a total of 100-200 patients at multiple centers will be registered for study participation. Study participants are those who have signed the informed consent form, met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and are enrolled in the study at one of multiple sites. Enrolled participants are stratified based on their chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and/or sleeplessness symptom presentation at baseline and treated with the Nu-V3 device for 24 weeks. Interim analysis of reported data will be based on baseline stratifications and conducted at 6, 12, 18, and 24 weeks during this time. The participant will be evaluated after the initial 12-week treatment period to assess for further therapeutic need. Upon having three consecutive weeks of mean symptom reduction of ≥70% via patient reported numerical scales, the participant will continue as described in the study assessments table, but without device therapy. Then if the participant's primary symptom score increases at any time by ≥20%, they may again continue device therapy until week 24.
This clinical investigation will be carried out as a randomized controlled trial conducted at the Northern Regional Hospital, Hjørring. This investigation will enrol 36 patients suffering from severe knee osteoarthritis pain, primarily from the orthopaedic ward at Hjørring Hospital, where potential participants will be identified during routine consultations. The RELEARN intervention consists of encephalography (EEG) neurofeedback of cerebral movement evoked signatures of pain, where the participants will be instructed in attempting to manipulate these signatures to reduce pain perception. This investigation is carried out to analyse the clinical performance and safety of the RELEARN neurofeedback software.
An open-label, randomized, 3-way crossover study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of investigational product "Ibuprofen Modified-Release Tablets 800 mg" in comparison to the reference standard "Ibuprofen Regular-Release Tablets 600 mg/800 mg" in normal healthy volunteers Primary objective: To evaluate the food effect of IBUMR and its bioavailability of single and multiple doses compared with reference drugs in normal healthy volunteers. Secondary objectives: 1. To determine and compare the single and multiple dose PK profiles of IBUMR and reference drugs. 2. To identify the effect duration for IBUMR after dose administration by detecting ibuprofen concentrations in plasma. 3. To evaluate the safety profile of single and multiple doses of IBUMR.
The effective management of acute postoperative pain remains a daily challenge despite the organizational efforts made and the techniques put in place. Thirty percent of patients who undergo surgery suffer from chronic post-surgical pain, of which 5 to 10% are of severe intensity. Many preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factors, related to the patient, the surgical procedure, or the anesthetic technique, have been incriminated as risk factors for chronic post-surgical pain. The severity of acute postoperative pain is recognized as one of the risk factors for the occurrence of chronic post-surgical pain on which we can hope to interact during the peri-operative period. In this cohort study, we wish to define the typologies of postoperative pain trajectories observed from Day 0 to Day 7 and to estimate the proportion of patients with an abnormal resolution of pain in a model of organization such as that of our institution, in classic hospitalization and in ambulatory care.
