Filter by:The aim of our study is to investigate transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as a treatment option in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, disseminate it to a broader patient population, and simultaneously demonstrate its applicability in the treatment of complex regional pain syndrome using a novel frequency matching.
For patients scheduled to undergo upper limb sympathetic nerve block due to chronic neuropathic pain in the upper limb lasting more than 3 months, the ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block group (S group) and the fluoroscopy-guided thoracic sympathetic nerve block group (T) Patients are randomly assigned 1:1 to one of the groups, and the procedure is performed. To evaluate the effectiveness of sympathetic nerve blockade, temperature changes in both palms are measured twice, 20 minutes before and 20 minutes after the procedure, using an infrared thermographer. Other variables related to the procedure are surveyed by outpatient visit or telephone before the procedure, after the procedure, before returning home, and 1 week and 1 month after the procedure.
The aim is to evaluate the efficacy of Mirror Therapy on pain reduction and hand function in subjects with unilateral upper extremity Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type I.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of Ultra Sound (US) guided radiofrequency stellate ganglion block (SGB) and radiofrequency Thoracic Paravertebral block (TPVB) comparing to US-guided SGB or TPVB alone on the post-mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS).
Background: There is low quality evidence supporting the use of rehabilitation in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), despite it is the first line approach in the Guidelines . Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) may be useful to improve pain and function at mid term (6 months). Graded Pain Exposure Approaches (GPE) seem to improve pain but not function at mid term. In other type of chronic pain conditions GPE offers better outcomes than "pain contingent" (exercises avoiding pain) approaches at short term (3 months) and similar at mid term. Following the recommendations of Authors, we will evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combined therapy of GMI and GPE in people with CRPS type 1. Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of a combined therapy of GPE and GMI in front of only GMI in people with CRPS-1 and the clinical impact on the primary outcome (Severity of the disease) of the intervention. Design: Feasibility Randomized controlled Trial, single blind of evaluator, 2 parallel arms. Measurement pre-intervention, post-intervention , 1 and 3 months follow-up. Population: People 18 years old or above with CRPS type 1 diagnosed by Budapest criteria and (1) without any psychological or psychiatric disease, (2) nor any neurosensorial issue that could compromise the realization of the therapy proposed (3) neither any major surgery intervention related to CRPS (e.g neurostimulation or sympathectomy) (4) nor minor intervention on the last 3 months (e.g. nerve blocks). Outcomes: Primary outcomes: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Severity Scale (severity of the disease) and Safety Outcomes ( oedema, pain, temperature, Range of Motion). Secondary outcomes: 5Q-5D-5L (quality of life), SF-MPQ (Quality, Intensity and location of pain), PPT (pain pressure threshold), CPM ( pain inhibition pathways), FAAM or Quick Dash (function), PCS (catastrophism), Self efficacy in chronic pain questionnaire (self-efficacy), Dynamometry (Hand Grip strength),
The purpose of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of Empowered Relief for Youth with chronic pain (ER-Y). ER-Y is a single-session pain management class for youth focused on pain science education and teaching self-regulatory skills for pain management based on the evidence-based adult ER class. Feasibility and acceptability of ER-Y will be assessed post-class. Preliminary efficacy will be assessed by administering surveys at baseline, 4-weeks, 8-weeks, and 12-weeks post class.
To evaluate the efficacy of three regimens of sub anesthetic dose of ketamine infusion in relieving chronic refractory pain in patients with complex regional pain syndrome
This observational study aims to understand phenotype-specific molecular signatures in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
Evaluate the efficacy of two regimens of management in relieving chronic refractory pain in patients with upper limb complex regional pain syndrome after orthopedic trauma
This study will assess the feasibility of administering ketamine plus midazolam or midazolam alone, when infused over 5 days in an outpatient setting, to adults with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
