Filter by:This pilot research study is being performed to learn more about pain and look at how pain changes brain chemistry and function. The research team would like to learn new information to better control chronic pain after surgery. This information collected in this research will be used to plan possible future visits. Participants in this study are being asked to participate because they are scheduled for an upcoming surgery. The research team would like to observe them before and after their surgery.
the study will evaluate the effect of transversus abdominis plane block (TAP) on chronic post-groin surgeries orchalgia (chronic testicular pain)
20-SMI-2013 is a post market, observational, questionnaire based study to assess the effectiveness of the commercially available Axium neurostimulator in the management of chronic post surgical pain
Breast tissue and the areas surrounding the breast contain many small to medium-sized nerves. During surgery on the breast, these nerves can be inadvertently cut or damaged. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy after surgery worsen the injury experienced by these nerves. These nerves eventually become abnormal and provide pain signals to the brain well beyond the healing period after surgery. Patients with these abnormal nerves suffer from chronic pain in the breast area that persists for several years after surgery. Chronic pain is associated with a reduced quality of life, daily functioning, psychological distress, and contributes to excessive health care expenditures. There is encouraging data suggesting that an infusion of Lidocaine during surgery and Pregabalin given around the time of surgery can prevent the development of chronic pain after breast cancer surgery. A large randomized controlled trial is needed to determine the efficacy of these two interventions on reducing chronic pain after breast cancer surgery (e.g. within 3 months of surgery). A pilot trial is first needed to determine the feasibility of undertaking such a trial.
