NCT ID: NCT04071275 Recruiting - Phantom Limb Pain Clinical Trials

Assessing Possible Additive Effects of tDCS and Mirror Therapy Treatments for Phantom Pain

Start date: April 22, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In this study we will examine assess if treatment with transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) improve the analgesic effects of mirror therapy for patients with phantom pain of lower extremity. The study will include 3 arms: only mirror therapy, mirror therapy + sham tDCS, and mirror therapy + active tDCS.

NCT ID: NCT04060875 Completed - Clinical trials for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Research Protocol for Karuna Labs Inc.: Safety and Efficacy of Virtual Reality Graded Motor Imagery for Chronic Pain

Start date: September 21, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to investigate, in two phases: (1) the feasibility and safety of Virtual Embodiment Therapy in treating chronic pain of lower back and upper limbs and (2) the efficacy of Virtual Embodiment Therapy on chronic pain disorders of the lower back and upper limbs. In phase 1, we will investigate the feasibility, safety, and side effects related to this treatment by assessing simulator sickness. In phase 2, which in contingent on successful completion of phase 1, we will assess symptoms of pain specific to the region treated, fear and avoidance behavior, and depression symptoms before and after 8 sessions of treatment with Virtual Embodiment Therapy in order to assess efficacy. This study will be single-blinded, because the participation of the clinician is necessary to ensure proper administration of the therapy, as well as to monitor in the event of adverse reactions.

NCT ID: NCT03694639 Recruiting - Pain, Phantom Clinical Trials

CT-guided Ganglion Impar Block for Management of Phantom Rectal Pain Syndrome

Start date: June 12, 2018
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Background:Patients underwent abdominoperineal resection with colostomy may suffered from phantom rectum pain syndrome in the perineal area.In this study, the investigators evaluate the combination between ganglion impar block to pregabaline in the treatment of phantom rectal pain syndrome. Method: Forty patients were randomly allocated into 2 groups: Group A (n=20) where patients received pregabaline 150 mg twice daily. Group B (n=20) where patients received pregabaline 150 mg twice daily plus ganglion impar block using 5 ml bupivacaine 5% with 14 mg/2 ml betamethasone.

NCT ID: NCT03592901 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Brachial Plexus Block

Phantom Limb Experience After Brachial Plexus Anesthesia

Start date: August 8, 2016
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study examines the sensations felt by patients receiving brachial plexus anesthesia for shoulder surgeries.

NCT ID: NCT03588793 Completed - Phantom Limb Pain Clinical Trials

Reliability and Validity of Outcome Measures for Phantom Limb Pain

Start date: December 10, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Phantom limb pain (PLP) is experienced by 60-80% of all people who have had an amputation. This persistent pain condition can impact on independence, activities of daily living and overall quality of life. While there is some research into PLP there is no consensus on appropriate outcome measures and there is (to our knowledge) neither guideline nor literature evidence on the reliability and validity of outcomes measures for this patient group. Such measures are vital to the robust evaluation of any interventions and/or monitoring progression. The aim of the proposed study is to assess the reliability and validity of four self-report questionnaires (Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire 2 (SFMPQ-2), Trinity Amputation and Prosthetic Evaluation Scale (TAPES), a health-related quality of life measure (EQ-5D-L), a pain diary, a left/right limb judgement task (Implicit Motor Imagery Testing - IMIT) and the two-point discrimination (TPD)test. The data will be collated and statistically analysed to assess how stable each of the measures are over time (intra session reliability) and how each measure co-relates with the others (validity).

NCT ID: NCT03484429 Completed - Chronic Pain Clinical Trials

Postoperative Peripheral Nerve Stimulation for Management of Post-amputation Pain

Start date: December 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Limb loss is frequently associated with postamputation pain that can be challenging to treat and often involves opioids. Advances in the field of neuromodulation has led to development of an intentionally reversible percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) system that has had promising results when treating chronic postamputation pain. PNS may offer sustained pain relief even after the treatment period has ended. Currently, there is no convincing evidence regarding the role of PNS in the acute postoperative period, which may be a critical time to control pain as those with higher pain appear to be at higher risk for developing persistent post-procedural pain. The investigators of this study aim to evaluate the feasibility and effects of PNS in the acute postoperative period and determine the feasibility of completing a randomized controlled treatment outcome study.
