Combination of guanfacine with opioid medication as a standard treatment for chronic pain.
NCT07359326
The aim of this thesis is to examine the effects of cold application on pain, disease activity, and quality of life in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Currently, non-pharmacological interventions, such as cold therapy, are utilized less frequently than pharmacological treatments for the management of pain in inflamed joints. Cold application is anticipated to alleviate pain and consequently enhance patients' quality of life. This study seeks to improve quality of life by reducing pain in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Given its simplicity, ease of application, and low cost, this intervention may be recommended as a pain management strategy both for patients and for nurses working in clinical settings. Furthermore, the study aims to contribute to the existing literature on the subject.

NCT07548385
This is a prospective, randomized study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the addition of Suzetrigine, a new pain medication, to well established peri-operative pain regimen used for total knee replacement surgery will effect pain control. 1. Does Suzetrigine given pre-operatively decrease the total opioid consumed after total knee replacement surgery? 2. Dose Suzetrigine given pre-operatively decrease the visual analog pain scale pain scores after total knee replacement surgery? Study participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Suzetrigine medication or placebo medication.
NCT07547774
Sleep quality is a key physiological factor influencing immune function, inflammatory response, and pain perception. This prospective observational study aims to evaluate whether preoperative sleep quality predicts postoperative inflammation, pain severity, and analgesic consumption in patients undergoing elective breast cancer surgery. Preoperative sleep quality will be assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Systemic inflammatory response will be evaluated using the Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII), calculated from routine hematological parameters. Postoperative pain will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and analgesic consumption will be recorded within the first 24 hours. The study aims to determine whether poor sleep quality is associated with increased inflammatory response, higher pain scores, and greater analgesic requirement.
NCT05883540
Background: Terminally ill patients often experience significant psychosocial distress having depressed mood, death anxiety, pain, and an overall poor quality of life. Recent evidence from pilot studies suggests that serotonergic hallucinogens including lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and psilocybin produce significant and sustained reductions of depressive symptoms and anxiety, along with increases in quality of life, and life meaning in patients suffering from life-threatening diseases. Additionally, serotonergic hallucinogens may produce antinociceptive effects. Objective and Design: The study aims to evaluate effects of LSD on psychosocial distress in 60 patients suffering from an advanced or end-stage fatal disease with a life expectancy ≥12wks and ≤2yrs in an active placebo-controlled double-blind parallel study. Patients will be allocated in a 2:1 ratio to one of the two intervention arms receiving either two moderate to high doses of LSD (100 µg and 100 µg or 100 µg and 200 µg) as intervention and two low doses of LSD (25 µg and 25 µg) as active-placebo control.
NCT07536867

The primary outcome is Visual Analog Scale (VAS) during the first 24 hours after surgery. Secondary outcomes include total opioid consumption, requirement for rescue analgesia, block performance time, block-related and systemic side effects (hematoma, pneumothorax, local anesthetic toxicity, vascular puncture, infection), Patient satisfaction assessed using a Likert scale, quality of recovery assessed using the QoR-15 questionnaire.
NCT07528807
This observational study aims to investigate the relationship between exercise benefits and barriers, pain beliefs, and activity patterns in individuals experiencing musculoskeletal pain. Participants will complete questionnaires about their pain, exercise habits, and daily activity patterns. The study does not involve any interventions or treatments. The purpose is to better understand how beliefs and perceived barriers influence physical activity in people with musculoskeletal pain, which may help inform future strategies to improve exercise participation and overall well-being.
NCT07543952
Non-specific chronic low back pain is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders worldwide and is associated with functional limitations and reduced quality of life. Exercise-based physiotherapy approaches are strongly recommended in clinical guidelines. Pilates exercises are frequently used due to their potential effects on core stability and movement control, while conventional physiotherapy remains a commonly applied treatment method. However, randomized controlled trials directly comparing these interventions are limited. This study aims to compare the short-term effects of reformer Pilates exercises and conventional physiotherapy on pain intensity, functional disability and health-related quality of life in individuals with non-specific chronic low back pain.

Researchers will compare application of device RADA16 to application of no device to see if RADA16 works to treat post tonsillectomy hemorrhage. Participants will: * Undergo tonsillectomy procedure. * Receive and fill out a survey sent via email every 2 days following their procedure for 15 days and track their symptoms.
NCT05986292
The purpose of the chronic pain master protocol is to compare independent pain interventions and establish an overarching structure for the disease-state addenda (DSA) and intervention-specific appendices (ISAs). The ISAs may start independently of other ISAs as interventions become available for clinical testing.
NCT07540663
The patients included in this study have already undergone the process of probe implantation and adjustment to their individually suitable stimulation pattern. Patients will be selected if the probe was implanted 0 - 5 years ago. Patients with implanted percutaneous electrodes (octrodes) and plate electrodes (surgical lead group) will be included in the study. The aim of this study is to investigate whether additional muscle stimulation can optimize the current pain therapy. After being informed about the study and providing informed consent, the questionnaires (baseline) are completed before the start of the study. Then, in addition to the existing BurstDR stimulation, additional muscle stimulation is started twice a day for 30 minutes and continued for 3 months. During this time, the pain values are also determined every 4 weeks using the visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry Disabillity Index (ODI), EQ5D-5L, Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), Pain Disability Index (PDI), Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC). At the end of 3 months, the questionnaires are completed again. The VAS values and the values from the questionnaires are compared with the baseline values. In addition, possible side effects and adverse reactions that could be triggered by the stimulation are recorded at this time. This study makes it possible to investigate the combination of pain treatment with BurstDR and simultaneous muscle stimulation with an Octrodes and pentaleads for chronic back pain in a prospective study.
NCT07538427
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a music-based intervention can improve mental and physical health and strengthen coping skills among adults living in residential care settings in northern Arizona. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does participation in the music-based intervention reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and pain?, and Does participation increase the use of music as a coping strategy and improve overall well-being? Researchers will compare participants' pre-intervention and post-intervention responses to determine whether the music classes are associated with improvements in health and coping outcomes. Participants will: Attend a 6-week music class held once per week for one hour; participate in active music activities such as drumming and rhythm exercises; complete a brief survey before and after the intervention. Some participants are also invited to complete a short interview about their experiences.

NCT07535151
Vaccination is one of the most common invasive procedures performed on healthy infants and children. These procedures can cause pain and fear in children and anxiety in parents. This study will be conducted to determine the effect of using animal-shaped magic mirrors during vaccination on pain in children aged 1-4 years and anxiety in mothers.
NCT07525999
Spinal surgery is generally followed by severe postoperative pain, and poor pain control may cause adverse outcomes such as cardiovascular events, neurocognitive disorders, and chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP). In previous studies, perioperative use of dexmedetomidine or esketamine is each associated with improved analgesia after surgery. Recent studies suggest that combined use of dexmedetomidine and esketamine may produce synergetic effects in improving analgesia. This trial is designed to test the hypothesis that perioperative combined use of dexmedetomidine and esketamine may reduce CPSP in patients after spinal surgery.
