Filter by:Chronic pain is prevalent in the U.S., with impact on physical and psychological functioning as well as lost work productivity. Minority and lower socioeconomic populations have increased prevalence of chronic pain with less access to pain care and poorer outcomes. Acupuncture therapy is effective in treating chronic pain conditions including chronic low back pain (cLBP), neck pain, shoulder pain and knee pain from osteoarthritis (OA). Acupuncture therapy, including group acupuncture, is feasible and effective, and specifically so for underserved and diverse populations at risk for health outcome disparities. Acupuncture therapy also encourages patient engagement and activation. As chronic pain improves there is a natural progression to want and need to increase activity and movement recovery. Diverse movement approaches are important both for improving range of motion, maintaining gains, strengthening and promoting patient engagement and activation. Yoga therapy is an active therapy with proven benefit in musculoskeletal pain disorders and pain associated disability. The aim of this pilot feasibility trial is to test the bundling of these two care options for chronic pain, to inform both the design for a larger randomized pragmatic effectiveness trial as well as implementation strategies across underserved settings.
Study Part 1 is designed to assess the plasma pharmacokinetics of etoricoxib (ETOR) 4% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and propylene glycol (PG) formulations, each at 2 different doses, upon single-dose topical administration on the knee of osteoarthritis participants. Study Part 2 is designed to evaluate the efficacy of topical etoricoxib vs. placebo in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee. The primary hypothesis is that topical etoricoxib will be more effective than placebo in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee over 2 weeks of treatment as assessed by time-weighted average change from baseline on the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) Visual Analogue (VA) 3.0 pain subscale.
The current study examines the effects of milnacipran in patients who have chronic persistent knee pain one year or longer after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to evaluate for a pain-relieving effect.
Subcutaneous administration of tanezumab can result in changes in the number of nerves around the injection site in the thigh.
This study will evaluate ATP-induced Pain (AIP) and ATP-induced dermal vasodilation (AIDV) as target engagement tools for future development of analgesics.
