      Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Pancreatic Cancer Pain

      Cleveland, Ohio
      Participants who are experiencing abdominal pain due to having cancer in their pancreas may be eligible for this research study. For this type of pain, doctors often recommend radiation therapy to help with the pain. This radiation therapy is called stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). Preparing for SBRT typically takes a week or longer. In this research study, doctors want to test a new workflow in order to shorten the time it takes for participants to receive SBRT to help with their pain. Doctors typically determine how to administer the SBRT by doing a simulation, which requires a CT (Computerized Tomography) scan. The CT scan is used to create a treatment plan. It can take time to schedule this CT scan and then it takes 5-10 days to create a treatment plan. A way to reduce the planning time for SBRT is to use the CT scan that participants had when their cancer was diagnosed to plan the SBRT. This new workflow can cut down the time it takes to schedule another CT scan and plan for and deliver SBRT. The workflow where doctors use a pre-existing CT scan is called CTsim-free treatment planning. CTsim-free treatment planning is what is being tested in this research study.

      Nerve Stimulation for Postoperative Pain

      Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
      The NSS-2 BRIDGE® device (NSS stands for Neuro-Stimulation System) is a disposable device that stimulates the branches of cranial nerves and of the superficial cervical plexus innervating the ear. Because the stimulation of the nerves of the ear by the NSS-2 BRIDGE® device (NBD®) has been shown to modulate pain pathways in rodents, decrease abdominal pain in adolescents with inflammatory bile syndrome and due to the results of our preliminary pilot study, the investigators hypothesized that this technique may also be effective in reducing the requirement for postoperative opioids and provide a non-pharmacological alternative to perioperative opioid use. To establish the role that the stimulation of the nerves of the ear may have in reducing postoperative opioid requirement, the investigators are proposing to conduct a randomized, placebo controlled study in patients undergoing open abdominal or pelvic surgery requiring at least 5 days of hospitalization. Subjects who have signed an informed consent will be randomized in 2 groups (active NBD® group or inactive NBD® group). Furthermore, since preoperative and postoperative mood disorders have been shown to increase postoperative pain levels and opioid requirement by up to 50%, the investigators further hypothesize that the stimulation of the ear nerves by the NSS-2 BRIDGE® effects may be in part mediated by a reduction of the level of anxiety, depression and catastrophizing as assessed using validated questionnaires.

      Morphine or Ketamine for Pain

      Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
      Pain is common in children presenting to the emergency department but is frequently undertreated, leading to both short- and long-term consequences. Morphine is the standard treatment for children with moderate to severe acute pain, but its use is associated with serious side effects and caregiver and clinician concerns related to opioid administration. The investigators aim to determine if sub-dissociative ketamine is non-inferior to morphine for treating acute pain and a preferable alternative for treating acute pain in children because of its more favorable side effect profile and potential long-term benefits related to pain-related function, analgesic use/misuse, and mental and behavioral health outcomes.

      P-QST to Predict Pain Treatment Response in Chronic Pancreatitis

      Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
      Abdominal pain in chronic pancreatitis (CP) affects up to 90% of patients during the course of their disease, and response to currently available therapies is suboptimal and unpredictable. The proposed clinical trial will evaluate the predictive capability of Pancreatic Quantitative Sensory Testing (P-QST) - a novel assessment of neurosensory phenotyping- for improvement in pain in patients with CP who are undergoing medically-indicated invasive treatment with endoscopic therapy or surgery.

      QST for Chronic Pancreatitis

      Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
      Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) is a novel investigative technique used in other pain conditions to evaluate patterns of chronic pain, and in this study will be used to elucidate pain patterns in patients with Chronic Pancreatitis (CP). QST uses a specific series of standardized stimulations to map the pain system. QST has the potential to change and improve the treatment paradigm for patients with CP and may eventually be able to predict response to invasive CP therapies.

      TAP Block for Local Anesthesia

      Detroit, Michigan
      This study aims to assess the efficacy of Transversus Abdominus Plane (TAP) blocks, a well-established anesthetic technique, to decrease the amount of post-operative pain in patients who undergo minimally invasive gynecologic surgeries. During minimally invasive gynecologic surgeries, the abdomen is inflated with pressurized air for visualization purposes and released at the end of the surgery. Traditionally, TAP blocks are performed by injecting long-acting local anesthetic agents under ultrasound guidance into the abdominal wall after abdominal surgery after the air has been emptied from the abdomen for additional anesthetic coverage post-operatively. This study proposes a novel approach: that performing TAP blocks while the abdomen is still insufflated will result in better post-operative pain outcomes as compared to the traditional method.

      Ketorolac Dosing for Acute Pain in Children

      Hamilton, Ontario
      Hospital Scene #1: A 6-year-old arrives in the Emergency Department at McMaster Children's Hospital (MCH) complaining of pain in his lower right side. His Dad explains the pain has been going on for a few hours and that Advil and Tyelnol haven't helped at all. He's anxious and concerned about his son because he never complains about pain - so this must be bad. After he has been seen by the doctor, the appendix appears to be the problem and the boy needs to have it removed. Dad wants his son's pain to go away but is worried because he once got a high dose of a medication and had some unwanted side effects. Hospital Scene #2: A 14-year-old girl has been experiencing migraine headaches for the past months and is awaiting an appointment with a specialist. Today, however, the pain is the worst it's been. Mom has picked her up from school and brought her to MCH not knowing what else to do to help her. The Advil and Tylenol have not improved her pain. She desperately wants the pain to go away but is worried because she read that some pain medicines are used without any studies done to see if they work and if they are safe. (https://www.ottawalife.com/article/most-medications-prescribed-to-children-have-not-been-adequately-studied?c=9). In both cases, these children need medicine to help their pain. The treating doctors want to give them pain medicine that will 1) be safe and 2) make the pain go away. This is what parents and the child/teenager, and the doctors want too. Some pain medicines like opioids are often used to help with pain in children. Unfortunately, opioids can have bad side effects and can, when used incorrectly or for a long time, be addictive and even dangerous. A better option would be a non-opioid, like Ketorolac, which also helps pain but is safer and has fewer side effects. The information doctors have about how much Ketorolac to give a child, though, is what has been learned from research in adults. Like with any medication, the smallest amount that a child can take while still getting pain relief is best and safest. Why give more medicine and have a higher risk of getting a side effect, if a lower dose will do the trick? This is what the researchers don't know about Ketorolac and what this study aims to find out. Children 6-17 years old who are reporting bad pain when they are in the Emergency Department or admitted in hospital and who will be getting an intravenous line in their arm will be included in the study. Those who want to participate will understand that the goal of the study is to find out if a smaller amount of medicine improves pain as much as a larger amount. By random chance, like flipping a coin, the child will be placed into a treatment group. The difference between these treatment groups is the amount of Ketorolac they will get. One treatment will be the normal dose that doctors use at MCH, and the other two doses will be smaller. Neither the patient, parent nor doctor will know how much Ketorolac they are getting. Over two hours, the research nurse or assistant will ask the child how much pain they are in. Our research team will also measure how much time it took for the pain to get better, and whether the child had to take any other medicine to help with pain. The research team will also ask families and patients some questions to understand their perceptions of pain control, pain medicines and side effects they know of. This research is important because it may change the way that doctors treat children with pain, not just at MCH but around the world. The results of this study will be shared with doctors through conferences and scientific papers. It's also important that clinicians share information with parents and children so that they can understand more about pain medicines and how these medicines can be used safely with the lowest chance of side effects.

      AMT-143 Hydrogel for Pain After Hernia Surgery

      Hamilton, Ontario
      The study is designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of three ascending doses of AMT-143 to determine the appropriate dose of AMT-143 for the management of postsurgical pain following inguinal hernia repair. Healthy male and female participants ≥18 years of age scheduled for open inguinal hernia repair surgery will be enrolled. Participants will all receive general anesthesia. The open inguinal hernia repair will be performed by a participating surgeon and the study medication will be administered by the surgeon prior to wound closure. AMT-143 is provided as a hydrogel containing 385 mg/mL ropivacaine (on a ropivacaine HCl equivalence basis). AMT-143 hydrogel will be provided as pre-filled syringes for administration via instillation into the surgical site after surgery and prior to suture. This will be a randomized, single blind, placebo and active controlled, dose escalation study performed at one clinical site to determine optimal doses of AMT-143. The study will consist of 30 participants, 10 per dose. Participants will receive AMT-143, or saline placebo, or ropivacaine 1% solution. Participants will be blinded to treatment. All assessments up to 4 h will be performed in the hospital clinic setting. Post discharge follow-up for the study will be handled on an outpatient basis and will be conducted by a home nurse up to Day 21. The participant will return to the clinical site for a final End of Study visit on Day 28.

      Psyllium for Pediatric IBS

      Durham, North Carolina
      The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a fiber (psyllium) can change the way bacteria use fructans (a type of sugar) and whether psyllium can help decrease childhood irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms when eating fructans. The main questions it aims to answer are: Aim 1: The effect of psyllium at two doses given with a fructan meal on microbial fructan fermentation (intracolonic pH; H2 gas production; gut microbiome composition; fecal short-chain fatty acids, lactate, glycomics). Aim 2: Determine the impact of psyllium given with a fructan meal on fructan-induced GI symptoms. Participants will first be asked to eat a specific diet over two three-day periods to determine if fructans worsen their IBS symptoms. Those with worsening symptoms with fructans will be asked to participate in the second part of the study. This includes two weeks of baseline (no change in diet) and two weeks of eating a specific diet with fructans with either psyllium or glucose. Participants will be asked to complete pain and stool diaries, submit stool specimens, swallow a pill to capture gut acid levels, and give breath samples.

      Why Other Patients Applied

      "I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

      "I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

      Music Intervention for Irritable Bowel Syndrome

      New Haven, Connecticut
      The proposed pilot study aims to assess the underlying mechanisms of the MBI on IBS pain and the feasibility of using novel technology in the outcome measurements. The specific aims of this pilot mechanistic clinical trial are to: 1. . identify the mechanisms underlying the impact of MBI on IBS-related pain, stress responses, quantitative pain sensitivity, and gut microbiome profiles. 2. . evaluate the technological feasibility of using a wearable abdominal sensor belt and smartwatch system in measuring MBI impacts on pain in home settings. Researchers will conduct a one-arm pre- and post-music intervention among patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, collect the IBS pain mechanistic biobehavioral markers, and analyze the underlying pathways of the music analgesic effect. Participants will be asked to: 1. . engage in a 4-week intervention of 20 minutes, both during the day and at night, for at least five days per week. 2. . have two one-hour lab visits

      Salbutamol Inhaler for Allergic Abdominal Pain

      Montréal, Quebec
      The goal of this study is to assess the efficacy of inhaled salbutamol to treat abdominal pain during food allergic reactions. Patients experiencing abominal pain as a result of a food allergic reaction during a food challenge in the allergy clinic will be invited to participate to the study. They will receive either 8 puffs of salbutamol (asthma inhaler) or 8 puffs of a placebo inhaler. The abdominal pain will then be followed using a numeric scale to see if patients receiving the medication experienced a faster improvement compared to those receiving the placebo.

      Intravenous Acetaminophen for Pain Management

      Montréal, Quebec
      Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is a commonly used medication after surgery to control pain. Tablets for oral use and suppositories for rectal use are the most frequently employed forms of acetaminophen after surgery. Intravenous (IV) acetaminophen is widely used in several countries but is not a standard medication for the adult population in Canada. It is mainly considered when it is impossible to take medication in tablet or suppository form. Opioids (Morphine, Hydromorphone, Oxycodone, etc.) are another class of medications commonly used after surgery for pain management. While they are generally very effective and stronger than acetaminophen or other pain relievers (e.g., ibuprofen/Advil), reducing their use is preferable, as they can cause various side effects such as nausea, dizziness, and dependence. IV acetaminophen may help control pain while also reducing opioid consumption. However, there are few high-quality scientific studies proving the benefits of IV acetaminophen compared to other forms, such as tablets or suppositories. Acetaminophen has been available in Canada for many years and has already been recommended for use in Quebec by the Institut national d'excellence en santé et services sociaux (INESSS) under certain conditions. This study aims to validate its benefits with clear data.

      Smart Pill Bottles for Postoperative Pain

      Montréal-Est, Quebec
      The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if smart pill bottles can be used as a tool to optimize data collection in clinical trials by increasing the quality of data collected and limiting the associated cost. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the use of smart pill bottles a feasible method of data collection in clinical trials in terms of patient adherence. Is the data collected by the smart pill bottles of higher quality than that collected through human resources? What is the impact of the use of smart pill bottles on the costs involved in clinical trials ? Researchers will collect data on postoperative opioid medication consumption with the smart pill bottle and assess the adherence of patients to the device along with the quality of data collected and the costs involved in the process. Participants will: Use the smart pill bottle to consume opioid medication following surgery for 3 months At the end of the 3 month period, the group will have filled out surveys detailing their opioid consumption, surgical pain and other relevant information.

      Low Thermal Plasma for Marginal Ulcers

      Boston, Massachusetts
      The objective of the study is to investigate the treatment of marginal ulcers with Low Thermal plasma in an endoscopic setting. By a treatment of the ulcerated areas with argon plasma with low power settings (\~ 1 W) we hypothesize that the size of the ulcers will shrink, and the healing is accelerated compared to standard of care alone. Patients will benefit from this minimally invasive approach compared to a much more invasive surgical approach that comes with higher risks and hospital stay length time. From a societal and scientific perspective, this study aims to extend the well-documented clinical benefits of plasma technology - from external wound healing to internal ulcer treatment - within an endoscopic framework. The success of this study could pave the way for broader applications of LTP in the treatment of other endoscopically accessible conditions such as peptic ulcers, duodenal ulcers and esophageal ulcers. This advancement has the potential not only to improve patient outcomes through less invasive methods, but also to position LTP as a cornerstone in the future of gastroenterological wound management strategies.

      Guided Imagery Therapy for Abdominal Pain

      Houston, Texas
      Chronic abdominal pain is common among children, and the majority of cases are attributed to functional abdominal pain disorders. One approach to treating these disorders is by using psychological therapies. This clinical trial aims to see how well pre-recorded guided imagery therapy sessions help children's abdominal pain when delivered via a mobile application (app) on a smartphone or tablet. Participants will complete a baseline abdominal pain and stooling diary to determine eligibility and other surveys. Participants who qualify will be placed in one of two groups by chance: * Immediate Treatment Group * Delayed Treatment Group After randomization, the Immediate Treatment Group will get immediate access to the guided imagery therapy (GIT) mobile app intervention. This intervention asks participants to listen to a 10- to 15-minute GIT session 5 out 7 days weekly for 8 weeks in addition to their usual care for their abdominal pain. Then, participants will complete another abdominal pain and stooling diary and other psychometric surveys at the end of this intervention period. After randomization, the Delayed Treatment group will be observed as they wait 8 weeks without app access. During this phase, these participants will continue to treat their abdominal pain in their usual fashion. After the end of this waiting period, participants will complete another abdominal pain and stooling diary and psychometric surveys again before gaining access to the GIT mobile app intervention. As noted previously, the mobile app intervention will ask participants to listen to a 10- to 15-minute GIT session 5 out of 7 days weekly for 8 weeks in addition to their usual care for their abdominal pain. Another abdominal pain and stooling diary and other psychometric surveys will be collected at the end of this app intervention.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How much do Abdominal Pain clinical trials pay?

      Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

      How do Abdominal Pain clinical trials work?

      After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Abdominal Pain trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Abdominal Pain is 12 months.

      How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

      Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

      What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

      The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

      Do I need to be insured to participate in a Abdominal Pain medical study?

      Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

      What are the newest Abdominal Pain clinical trials?

      Most recently, we added Morphine or Ketamine for Pain, Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Pancreatic Cancer Pain and Guided Imagery Therapy for Abdominal Pain to the Power online platform.
