NCT06358287
Chronic pain continues to be a major health issue, creating a significant societal burden, as it is an independent risk factor for opioid use disorder (OUD) and deaths. Acute pain episodes can often engender OUD due to lack of effective strategies to treat pain and prevent the transition to chronic pain. One potential non-opioid method for pain relief is auriculotherapy (AT), where acupuncture-like treatment is administered to the ear. The objective of this pilot study is to illustrate that AT-related brain effects can be found using functional connectivity MRI (fcMRI) in patients with low back pain.

The need for new technologies and devices in the field of neurosurgery is well established. In April 2013, FDA cleared NeuroBlate™ System, minimally invasive robotic laser thermotherapy tool. It employs a pulsed surgical laser to deliver targeted energy to abnormal brain tissue caused by tumors and lesions. This post-marketing, multi-center study will include patients with metastatic tumors who failed stereotactic radiosurgery and are already scheduled for NeuroBlate procedure. The study will collect clinical outcome, Quality of Life (QoL) and, where feasible, healthcare utilization data for publication.
