Filter by:Over the last years a rising medical need for treatment of chronic pain was identified. Based on previous findings indicating the pain modulating effects of cannabinoids in chronic pain disorders, this clinical trial investigates the efficacy and tolerability of the THC-focused nano endocannabinoid system modulator AP707 in patients with chronic pain disorders due to traumatic or post-operative peripheral neuropathy. Patients receive AP707 or placebo over the course of 14 weeks as an add-on to the standard of care. Changes in pain intensity, quality of life and sleep and others measures are monitored through different scales to assess the efficacy of AP707 in patients with chronic pain due to traumatic or post-operative peripheral neuropathy.
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is is estimated to be around 1.5-3 per live birth, with prenatal factors accounting for 75% of cases. CP appears in early childhood and persists with age and is characterized by permanent lesions or abnormalities affecting the immature brain. It mainly occurs as a motor system disorder (e.g., abnormal movements or posture) with the presence of hemiplegia, diplegia or tetraplegia, and spastic, dyskinetic or atactic syndromes. .This study will explore the potential clinical benefits of the Molliimethod in children with cerebral palsy. Spasticity impacts balance and mobility, halts the patients quality of life and their ability to perform their activity of daily living, and could also increase the risk of fractures and falls. Available interventions that aim on improving spasticity are facing limitations such as varios side effects. Therefore, developing novel therapies such as the EXOPULSE Mollii Suit could help to overcome such limitations and noninvasively improve balance, mobility, quality of life and reduce spasticity and pain in children with CP.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about resilience coaching in adolescents with chronic musculoskeletal pain. The main questions it aims to answer are to 1) determine how helpful resilience coaching is for teens with chronic musculoskeletal pain, 2) which participants are best suited for resilience coaching, and 3) barriers and facilitators to implementing resilience coaching as part of routine clinical care. Participants will complete survey measures and participate in the resilience coaching intervention called Promoting Resilience in Stress Management (PRISM). Researchers will compare youth in PRISM to those receiving usual care to determine whether PRISM leads to greater improvements in functional disability, psychological distress, and pain intensity than usual care alone.
The aim of this study is to evaluate persons/patients with different skin diseases or pain to evaluate whether unhealthy perfectionism, stress, anxiety, impostor phenomenon (inability to realistically assess your competence and skills) and lack of self-compassion (a positive attitude towards ourselves), have impact on symptoms, handling, and treatment regarding some dermatological diseases/pain.
Pain mechanisms in chronic pancreatitis (CP) are heterogeneous and includes nociception, pancreatic neuropathy and central neuropathy/neuroplasty. These mechanisms could occur simultaneously in variable proportions and could explain why several patients develop recurrence of pain even after being treated by all the currently available modalities, such as antioxidants, endoscopic therapies and surgery. In the studies by the investigators over the past 2 years, they observed that persistent pain in these patients was associated with varying grades of depression and poor quality of life. This was accompanied by alteration in the metabolites in the brain (anterior cingulate cortex, prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and basal ganglia) as evidenced in magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) of the brain. These areas in the brain are responsible for pain modulation, long-term pain memory and emotional responses to pain. When the investigators counselled these patients and explained their disease and possible outcomes based on their own clinical course, imaging and treatment response (personalized education/counselling), they reported significant improvement in depression, quality of life parameters and, interestingly, also in pain. Further, there were changes in the metabolite parameters in the brain on MRS after personalized counselling/education that was more similar to that of healthy controls. This led to our hypothesis that better understanding of the disease and its outcomes by the patients could improve their coping capabilities and increase their pain thresholds. This could augment the pain responses of these patients to the other therapeutic modalities. We will conduct this single blinded, placebo controlled, randomized controlled trial on patients with documented CP of over 3 years duration, who had at least 5 episodes of abdominal pain of over the past 6 months.
The purpose of this randomized double-blind study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of the bilateral Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block versus the bilateral Thoracic Paravertebral block (TPVB), by ultrasound-guided single injection in patients who underwent sternotomy for cardiac surgery.
The main objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of adding ozone therapy to the clinical management of patients with pain secondary to chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy
The purpose of this study is to define common strains of cannabis that adult chronic cancer and non-cancer pain syndrome patients are using as a replacement for opioids (narcotics). Identified strains, if any, will then be tested via randomized controlled trials to support an application for a Health Canada Drug Identification Number.
Pulsed radiofrequency produces more lasting pain relief than use of peripheral blocks or analgesic medication in the treatment of chronic pain. We study the use of pulsed radiofrequency on the suprascapular nerve and the Circumflex nerve and the efficacy of the single technique on suprascapular nerve versus the circumflex and suprascapular combinated technique
The aim of present study is to to investigate whether the combined injection of HA and CS was superior than HA alone in the treatment of knee OA.
