Research question: Is there any evidence to suggest that the oldpain2go® intervention merits scientific investigation?
this study investigator will resaearsh about the efficacy of addition of ketorlac or dexamethasone to alcohol in ablation of ganglion impar in pelvic tumour to asses thier efficacy in increasing the intensity or the duration of the block
Pain in cancer survivors is difficult to treat, and unrelieved pain can greatly reduce a person's quality of life. Opioids are often prescribed for pain management, yet they can have undesirable side effects and may put someone at risk for addiction or dependence. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of an interactive music therapy intervention on pain management and opioid use in cancer survivors.
Endometriosis on the bowel is a benign condition that can cause major complaints and severely affect the quality of life of women of fertile age. If medical treatment is not enough to improve pain and/or other symptoms it may be necessary to undergo major surgical treatment and removal of the endometriosis nodule on the bowel. Such extensive surgical treatment carries risks of serious complications. Therefore, a thorough diagnostic work-up before surgery is important to know the extent of disease. This will provide women with the best possible information and for the surgeon to plan the operation. The risk of complications increases as the bowel endometriosis is localized closer to the anus as well and/or if the bowel nodule is large. The distance between the anus and the nodule and the size of the nodule can be measured with two dimensional (2D) vaginal ultrasound. Additionally, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is also used in some countries for these same measurements. Our study would like to investigate the diagnostic value of 2D ultrasound and MRI as well as learn more about women's quality of life before and after surgery. The investigators have designed the study to evaluate the following three questions into three studies ENDO1, ENDO2 and ENDO3: - ENDO1: How good is 2D transvaginal ultrasound at measuring the size of the bowel endometriosis nodule and the distance between anus and the lower part of the bowel nodule compared to measurements done during surgery? - ENDO2: What is the quality of life, sexual and bowel function of women before and 3- and 12-months after surgery due to bowel endometriosis? Questionnaires will be used. - ENDO3: How good is 2D transvaginal ultrasound at measuring the size of the bowel endometriosis nodule compared to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and measurements done during surgery?
Many studies had stated that the coeliac plexus neurolysis (CPN) is a safe and effective treatment method of pain associated with pancreatic cancer. The neurolytic injectate is usually alcohol 50-100%; however, phenol >5% is also possible to use. Nowadays, there are several techniques to access the coeliac plexus (per cutaneous using fluoroscopy or computed tomographic imaging (CT), surgical and endoscopic ultrasound). However, the percutaneous computed tomography guided technique is the gold standard technique, it has multiple drawbacks as availability and cost of imaging modality, exposure to radiation and multiple complications.Surgical technique in spite of being easy, cheap but there is a controversy about its efficacy. Also there is no head to head comparison between the surgical technique and the percutaneous technique.In this study we hypothesized that intraoperative technique has the same efficacy of percutaneous celiac block technique with less complication and cost
The present study is a multicenter, explorative, qualitative study. The primary endpoint of this study is to evaluate to which extent the collection of data with regard to pain caused by illness or treatment can be optimized using health technology solutions. For this evaluation semi-structured qualitative interviews with 8-10 patients will be conducted. Secondary variables are the evaluation of the patients' pain experience and the general patients' willingness to collect data with regard to pain by using technological devices themselves or with support of healthcare professionals.
To determine if Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) would result in positive clinical changes in patients presenting with acute or sub-acute low back pain (LBP).
The proposed study will examine how intensive interdisciplinary pain treatment (IIPT, specifically the Rehabilitation for Amplified Pain Syndrome, or RAPS, program at Children's Mercy Hospital) impacts neurofunctional mechanisms of emotional and physical pain processing in patients. There has been recent interest in characterizing the brain regions responsible for processing pain (Wager et al., 2013), but little research has included youth. A better understanding of the physiological mechanisms of pain can lead to better treatment outcomes.
This study evaluates the analgesic effect of Omnitram for the treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy. Each subject with diabetic neuropathy will be treated for four weeks with Omnitram and for four weeks with placebo. The order of the Omnitram and placebo treatment will be random.
