Filter by:Pain education has proven difficult to implement into clinical practice. In Denmark 4 out of 10 adults has inadequate health literacy levels. To avoid inequality in health care we need a new and accurate method to provide pain education to all who need it. In this study, existing concept of pain education is implemented into clinical practice for a group of chronic pain patients including those with low degrees of health literacy, and then evaluate its use from both patient and physiotherapist perspective.
Knee osteoarthritis has a very high prevalence in the population over 50 years of age. Patients with osteoarthritis often suffer from chronic pain that becomes disabling, affecting both quality of life and mental and physical health. This pathology has also been linked to maladaptive plasticity in the brain, which can contribute to chronic pain. Therapies with neuromodulatory approaches, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and peripheral electrical stimulation (TENS), have been used therapeutically to counteract the maladaptive plasticity of the brain. Transcranial therapy and TENS can be a possible effective treatment in the rehabilitation services of the health system for the improvement of chronic pain and quality of life in different pathologies, such as chronic low back pain, fibromyalgia or knee and hip osteoarthritis.
The aim of the Young Adult Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (YAC) study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Delivering Online "ZZZ's with Empirical support (DOZE) app, a unique digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi) in young adult patients with chronic pain.
The study objective is to establish feasibility of implementing a psychologically informed rehabilitation strategy while concurrently assessing its' effectiveness in Active duty service members (ADSM) with musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) seeking care in a US Navy shore-based healthcare setting. This intervention is intended to improve the management of chronic pain in order to optimize ADSM function. The study team is proposing an observational prospective comparative cohort study. This study tests an implementation/strategy while observing/gathering information on the clinical intervention and related outcomes.
Lumbosacral radicular pain is present in around 40% of cases of low back pain. It is usually caused by irritation and inflammation of the nerve root, and patients typically experience pain radiating from the back to the lower limb in the distribution of the affected spinal nerves. Epidural steroid injection is the most commonly used pain-relieving procedure in the world. However, the analgesic efficacy of epidural steroid injection appears to be modest and duration limited. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is an emerging treatment option for chronic pain. It is currently used for treating musculoskeletal pain conditions such as osteoarthritis and tendinopathies. While epidural steroids reduce pain by reducing inflammation, PRP promotes the healing of nerve injury and reduces neuropathic pain. However, the effect of transforaminal epidural PRP versus epidural steroid specifically for lumbosacral radicular pain is unclear. In this study, a double blind, randomized controlled trial will be performed to compare the effect of transforaminal epidural PRP versus epidural steroid for pain relief in patients with lumbosacral radicular pain.
The EPPIC (Easing Pelvic Pain Interventions Clinical Research Program) study evaluates an ultra-brief, 4 session cognitive behavioral pain treatment transdiagnostic in design for urologic chronic pain syndrome (UCPPS) with clinical and practical advantages over existing behavioral therapies whose length and focus limits their adoption by clinicians and coverage for mechanistically similar comorbidities. A theoretically informed, practical, empirically grounded approach will systematically unpack CBT's working mechanisms, clarify for whom it works, ease dissemination, appeal to patients, providers, payers, and policy makers in the COVID-19 era favoring low resource intensity treatments, and reduce cost and inefficiencies associated with high intensity therapies whose complexity, length, and scarcity restricts uptake and impact.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Canadá association in the treatment of chronic pain
The MI-CARE trial tests 12 months of telephone-based nurse care management for patients with depressive symptoms who take or have taken opioids at some time. The study tests whether offering nurse support to the patient and their primary care team that addresses these things and related issues can improve patients' health and well-being. Eligible subjects are identified automatically using health system data and randomly assigned 50:50 to either a no-contact usual care arm or to the arm offered the MI-CARE program.
Investigators will test a novel protocol for starting BUP (buprenorphine-naloxone) treatment. The BUP microdose induction protocol has participants start very low doses of BUP without stopping other opioids that they are taking. The treatment as usual (TAU) has participants stop other opioids and experience opioid withdrawal before starting BUP. Investigators propose to test BUP microdose inductions vs. TAU in a randomized controlled trial.
The goal in this study is to investigate TEST (Transcranial Electric Stimulation Therapy) for chronic pain. It requires an inpatient stay on our research unit of about a month. The study is designed to address the cognitive and emotional aspects of chronic pain and other conditions that often accompany this disorder, such as major depression or drug use.
