Filter by:In the present investigation the pain reduction effect of an oral ibuprofen treatment will be compared to those produced by the absence of treatment, in subjects who suffer the signs and symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Previous studies have reported that asthmatic or chronic pulmonary obstructive disease patients have an increased response to pain stimulus. However, this aspect has not been evaluated in allergic patients. Additionally, the difference in pain sensitivity between asymptomatic period crisis have not been evaluated yet.
Failed Back Surgery Syndrome is described as chronic pain in the low back and/or legs after a spinal procedure. It is estimated that %10 - 40 of the patients who had spinal surgery will have Failed Back Surgery Syndrome. The aim of this study is to research whether intradermal injection of the local anesthetic on the operation scar area and the area in which pain referred to in patients with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome has effects on pain and functionality or not.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the differences in cognitive performance and quality of life, after a cycle of treatment with the relaxometer, between a group of patients affected by fibromyalgia and a control group.
BACKGROUND: Pain is the predominant and most feared symptom of pancreas cancer, and is often incompletely relieved. Scrambler Therapy is a new way of treating pain by providing "non-pain" information to confuse the nervous system and reset the damaged nerve pathways. It has been useful in treating many types of pain, but has not been adequately tested in the pain associated with pancreas cancer. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of Scrambler Therapy on typical abdominal pain associated with pancreas cancer. HYPOTHESIS: We hypothesize that pain scores from day 0 (pre) to day 28 (post) will be reduced by at least 33%, e.g. from 6/10 to 4/10. METHODS: 20 patients, with expected data from 18 due to drop out of 2, will be treated with Scrambler Therapy using the standard methods of 45 minute sessions for 10 treatments. OUTCOMES: We will record data using the Brief Pain Inventory, and EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire-Pancreas 26 to see if we obtain at least a 33% reduction in pain. This will inform future randomized trials of Scrambler Therapy versus traditional methods such a celiac plexus blocks.
