Filter by:In this study, we attempted to answer the question of whether participation in a 12-week rhythmic exercise program using the Dalcroze method affects the level of intensity of pain experienced by women over the age of 65. The level of pain was determined on a numerical scale from 1 to 10 and involved headaches, back pain and leg pain.
To improve the safety of diagnosis and therapy for a set of conditions and undifferentiated symptoms for hospitalized patients, the investigators will employ a set of methods and tools from the disciplines of systems engineering, human factors, quality improvement,and data analytics to thoroughly analyze the problem, design and develop potential solutions that leverage existing current technological infrastructure, and implement and evaluate the final interventions. The investigators will engage the interdisciplinary care team and patient (or their caregivers) to ensure treatment trajectories match the anticipated course for working diagnoses (or symptoms), and whether they are in line with patient and clinician expectations. The investigators will use an Interrupted time series (ITS) design to assess impact on diagnostic errors that lead to patient harm. The investigators will perform quantitative and qualitative evaluations using implementation science principles to understand if the interventions worked, and why or why not.
This study characterized the effects of amplitude on subject satisfaction and pain relief in subjects being treated by SCS.
This study is being undertaken to compare the clinical outcomes of patients that have unilateral posterolateral lumbar interbody fusion using a traditional open approach versus the MiLIF procedure based on the MiCOR Precision Bone Allograft, specialized Atavi instrumentation, and minimally invasive visualization capabilities.
The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) is an NIH Roadmap initiative to develop a computerized system measuring patient-reported outcomes in respondents with a wide range of chronic diseases and demographic characteristics. In the first four years of its existence, the PROMIS network developed item banks for measuring patient-reported outcomes in the areas of pain, fatigue, emotional distress, physical function, and social functioning. During the item banking process, the PROMIS network conducted focus groups, individual cognitive interviews, and lexile (reading level) analyses to refine the meaning, clarity, and literacy demands of all items. The item banks were administered to over 20,000 respondents and calibrated using models based on item response theory (IRT). Using these IRT calibrations, computerized adaptive test (CAT) algorithms were developed and implemented. The network has designed a series of studies using clinical populations to evaluate the item attributes, examine their utility as CATs, and validate the item banks. More information on the PROMIS network can be found at www.nihpromis.org.
The primary objective of this study is to identify the brain regions in which activity is affected by SCS. Baseline cerebral blood flow scans with the device turned off will be generated compared to scans produced with the device operating at parameters which produce optimal coverage of the painful areas. The relationship between cerebral blood flow and pain rating scores will be evaluated in both conditions.
The purpose of this multi-center, randomized, clinical study is to establish the safety and effectiveness of the TOPS™ System, used following decompression, in the treatment of lower back and leg pain with, or without spinal claudication, that results from moderate or severe lumbar spinal stenosis at one vertebral level between L3 and L5.
The purpose of this study is to determine if stem cell therapy with one's own cells (autologous cells) delivered intramuscularly to one's leg with ulcer and/or gangrene due to poor blood flow will be safe and if it will relieve leg pain, increase blood flow, and/or cure the leg wound.
