      Auriculotherapy for Low Back Pain

      Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
      This is a clinical study of patients who have low back pain (for at least 6 months). The goal is to understand, with brain imaging, how auriculotherapy (an acupuncture-like stimulation of the ear) may work to relieve pain. There are 4 total study visits, divided into two pairs of visits that occur before and 5-7 days after receiving either a real or sham auriculotherapy treatment. The cryo-IQ device will be used, to stimulate 7 small areas on both ears with a focused jet of cold as a small amount of compressed gas is released. This is generally not painful, and less invasive, compared to using needles for auriculotherapy.

      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.

      Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Postoperative Pain

      Indianapolis, Indiana
      Psychological factors such as stress, distress, anxiety, depression, and poor coping strategies may be associated with ongoing pain following injuries such as fractures. To study this relationship, patients will undergo cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) which is designed to modify such thoughts with the goal of reducing ongoing pain and improving quality of life. The goal of this study is to determine if CBT, versus usual care, reduces the prevalence of moderate to severe persistent post-surgical pain (PPSP) over 12-months post-fracture in patients with an open or closed fracture of the appendicular skeleton, treated with internal fixation.

      Multimodal Treatments for Chronic Lower Back Pain

      Ann Arbor, Michigan
      This study is being completed to better understand who benefits from different chronic pain treatments and how these treatments work. This study will include a four week run-in period for all cLBP participants. After completing the PainGuide (online or smart phone accessible website) run-in period, participants will be assessed using either the light or light plus deep phenotyping assessment battery and those who minimal or modest improvement in their pain (based on PGIC) will be randomized to one of four 8-week treatments (mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), physical therapy (PT) and exercise, acupressure self-management, or duloxetine). In addition, participants will complete study visits including physical exams, complete surveys, provide samples (blood,saliva, etc.), wear an electronic wrist device at certain times, and have Magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs) during the study. Following one of the 4 treatments (8 weeks) if participants have a certain level of pain (that meets eligibility for more treatment) they will be then randomized to complete one of the 3 treatments that was not already assigned to them. The study hypothesizes the following: that this interventional response phenotyping can identify individuals with different underlying mechanisms for their pain who thus respond differentially to evidence-based interventions for chronic lower back pain (cLBP).

      Baclofen Suppositories for Chronic Pelvic Pain

      Louisville, Kentucky
      The purpose of this study is to evaluate if baclofen vaginal suppositories improve symptoms of Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPP). Participants in this study will take four short questionnaires prior to being randomized. Randomization is like flipping a coin; participants have an equal likelihood of being randomized to the treatment group (vaginal baclofen suppositories) or placebo group (vaginal suppository without baclofen ingredient). Participants will take their assigned treatment nightly for 8 weeks. Follow up visits will be at the 4 and 8 week time frames, when questionnaires will again be completed. Participants may receive additional treatments for CPP during the course of the study. After 8 weeks Participants will be offered a prescription for baclofen suppositories and the study drug will be stopped. Follow up on patient symptoms with questionnaires will again occur at 12 weeks.

      Bupivacaine Injection for Pudendal Neuralgia

      Louisville, Kentucky
      Chronic pain affecting the pelvic and urogenital area is a major clinical problem and can have a profound impact on quality of life and health care costs. Pelvic pain arising from entrapment or neuropathy of the pudendal nerve is known as pudendal neuralgia, which results in chronic perineal pain. This pain syndrome is difficult to diagnose and patients with pudendal neuralgia may present to providers with refractory chronic pelvic pain. Pudendal nerve infiltration or pudendal nerve block (PNB) serves as a diagnostic tool and treatment modality for patients with this condition. To date, there are no published randomized controlled trials comparing imaging-guided PNB to transvaginal finger-guided PNB. While one can assume that image-guided nerve blocks will provide better accuracy for injection and potentially better efficacy in pain relief as a result, no published data exists comparing the outcomes and efficacy between modalities. The purpose of this prospective, non-inferiority, randomized controlled trial is to compare the efficacy of pain relief from bilateral transvaginal finger-guided pudendal nerve block versus bilateral fluoroscopy-guided trans gluteal pudendal nerve block for patients with pudendal neuralgia.

      Virtual Stepped Care Program for Chronic Pain

      London, Ontario
      Pain is one of the most common symptoms of extreme stress in youth. Without treatment, short-term pain can last for months to years (called 'chronic pain'; CP), a problem already affecting 1 in 5 Canadian youth. The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the greatest threats to youth mental health seen in generations. CP in childhood can trigger a wave of mental health issues that last well into adulthood. In 2019, we learned that "access to pain care" is poor and a priority for youth with CP and their families. Unfortunately, COVID-19 has only made access more difficult. In 2020, we created an online "stepped care" program called the Power over Pain Portal for youth with CP. Stepped care is a promising way to improve access to CP care by tailoring care based on the symptoms each youth is experiencing. Like a ladder, youth start with one type of care and then "step up" or "step down" to more or less intense care depending on what they need. Over the past year, funded by CIHR, we worked with hundreds of youth and healthcare professionals across Canada to understand how the pandemic has affected pain and mental health. We also summarized all online pain self-management programs including peer support for youth to find the best resources to include in the Portal and will translate the portal content into French. Together with a diverse group of youth with CP, we have now co-designed the online Portal. The next step (focus of this grant) is to test the Portal with youth to ensure it can be implemented and is helpful. We will recruit 93 youth with CP waiting for specialist care at 11 CP clinics across Canada to use the Portal for 4 months. We will see how they use the Portal and if it helps to improve their pain and mental health. This study is important because it will allow us to understand how the Portal works in the real world before wide public release (English and French) to support all youth in Canada with CP with accessible, evidence-based pain care.

      rTMS + Facet Joint Injections for Chronic Back Pain

      London, Ontario
      Chronic spinal pain (CSP) is one of the most common chronic pain conditions globally. Steroid joint injections (SJI) are a routine treatment option for patients with CLBP that is recalcitrant to other treatments. However, SJI has been shown to have limited long-term efficacy with patients often requiring another injection within months to adequately control pain. One option to prolong the analgesic effects of SJI is to use a type of noninvasive brain stimulation called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). Previous studies have shown rTMS may be capable of providing long-term pain relief in patients with chronic back pain. However, the literature on rTMS in patients with CSP is limited and no study has explored rTMS in patients receiving recurrent SJI for pain control. In this pilot randomized controlled trial study, we'll be investigating if combining rTMS with SJI in CSP individuals will enhance or prolong the analgesic effects of SJI alone. The investigators hypothesize that a combined rTMS and SJI intervention will be feasible, tolerable, and safe and will have larger and longer-lasting effects on CSP than a sham rTMS and SJI intervention.

      Osteopathic Treatment for Low Back Pain

      Blacksburg, Virginia
      This Study is for our continued study of the Thoracolumbar Fascia (TFL) in patients with and without low back pain by our experienced multidisciplinary team: Vincent Wang PhD, VT Biomedical Engineering \& Mechanics (BEAM). Albert J Kozar DO, FAOASM, R-MSK. P. Gunnar Brolinson, DO, FAOASM, FAOCFP. David T. Redden PhD, VCOM Research Biostatistician. Matthew Chung DO, VCOM and Team Physician at Virginia Tech. Edward Magalhaes, PhD, LPC, Psychiatry and Neuro- Behavioral Sciences, VCOM. This listing is specifically for our renewed efforts via two, Department of Defense (DoD) and American Osteopathic Association (AOA), extramurally, simultaneously funded grants for similar but distinct projects. Both funding sources are aware of each other's funding and have approved their grant study moving forward simultaneously with some integration. DoD: Machine Learning Analysis of Ultrasound Images for the Investigation of Thoracolumbar Myofascial Pain and Therapeutic Efficacy of Hydrodissection. The primary objectives of the proposed project are to: 1. develop reliable, quantitative image analysis approaches to objectively distinguish images from subjects with acute or chronic TLF pain from those without pain and 2. to assess the preliminary clinical efficacy of hydrodissection of the TLF as a novel therapeutic treatment for chronic LBP. AOA: Assessment of the Therapeutic Efficacy of OMT on Chronic Low Back Pain: An Integrated Sonographic and Machine Learning Analysis of Thoracolumbar Fascia Glide Impairment. The primary objectives of the proposed project are to: 1. assess the preliminary clinical efficacy of OMT as a therapeutic treatment for CLBP of TLF origin and 2. develop reliable, quantitative image analysis approaches to objectively distinguish images from subjects with TLF pain from those without pain. These projects will share 50 no LBP subjects as controls. The DOD study will include 50 acute LBP and 50 CLBP. The AOA study will include 50 CLBP. This project uses standard surveys, physical exam, functional tests, and ultrasound imaging to obtain both static images of the TLF at multiple transition zones. It further uses ultrasound to evaluate the dynamic gliding motion, via cine loops, of this fascia in 2 different body movements in subjects with acute low back pain (ALBP), with chronic low back pain (CLBP), and without low back pain (WLBP). All images will be clinically analyzed and further assessed by textural and machine learning analysis. Patients with CLBP (only) will choose to enter one of the two studies (DoD vs AOA) at the time of consent. All images will be clinically analyzed and further assessed by textural and machine learning analysis. Patients with CLBP (only) that are found to have TLF glide impairment or positive physical exam maneuvers suggesting TLF as etiology will enter the treatment arm of the chosen study at the time of consent, either ultrasound guided hydrodissection (USGH), or Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy (OMT). After receiving 3 treatments utilizing one of these modalities, the CLBP participants will have repeat standard surveys, physical exam, functional tests, and ultrasound imaging assessments at 2,4,6,12, and 24 weeks post-treatment. At the conclusion of this project, the investigators expect to have developed, refined, and implemented robust and feasible experimental and computational approaches which can be further expanded in larger-scale studies. The development of our data-driven computer models for the objective analysis of sonographic images of the TLF has high potential impact as it seeks to transform the assessment of TLF integrity, injury and healing via establishment of reliable US imaging biomarkers. The investigators anticipate that the tools developed will have broad utility to assess a variety of clinical treatments for the TLF. The investigators also hope to validate physical exam maneuvers that may predict TLF mediated LBP and have preliminary evidence of the efficacy of hydrodissection and OMT in TLF mediated LBP. In pursuit of these objectives, the investigators will adopt an innovative approach featuring a robust integration of clinical imaging, physical exam, pain and functional outcomes, quantitative image analysis, and machine learning analyses. Specific Aim 1: Compare sonographic TLF imaging characteristics in individuals with acute versus chronic pain to those without low back pain. Specific Aim 2: Develop a machine learning (ML) classification algorithm to reliably distinguish abnormal myofascial tissue in acute versus chronic pain stages from healthy tissue. Specific Aim 3: DoD Study: Assess the preliminary therapeutic efficacy of hydrodissection as a novel treatment for TLF pain using quantitative US imaging and ML tools. AOA Study: Assess the preliminary therapeutic efficacy of OMT as a treatment for CLBP using quantitative US imaging and ML tools.

      "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.

      Neuromodulation for Pain Management

      Roanoke, Virginia
      This trial uses low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) to gently stimulate specific areas of the brain. Focused ultrasound can stimulate a specific point of tissue and can be a noninvasive method for acupoint stimulation. It targets people dealing with addiction, pain, and mental health issues who may not respond well to typical treatments. The sound waves temporarily change brain activity, which could help improve their symptoms.

      LIFU for Chronic Pain

      Roanoke, Virginia
      This research project is examining the effects of noninvasive brain stimulation on chronic pain. We believe this study will help us to better understand possible treatments for chronic pain patients. Subjects will undergo functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and a computed tomography (CT) scan, which is a way to take pictures of the brain and skull. Subjects will receive noninvasive brain stimulation using low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) sound waves, to temporarily change brain activity. Subjects will undergo pain testing using a small device that will increase the temperature of their skin and will rate this pain. Brain signals (EEG), heart rate and rhythm, blood pressure, respiration rate, and skin moisture will be monitored. Subjects will complete behavioral questionnaires. Each study session is expected to take 1.5-3 hours. Total participation takes 10 weeks.

      Low-intensity Focused Ultrasound for Chronic Pain

      Roanoke, Virginia
      This project examines the effects of noninvasive brain stimulation on pain. The investigators believe this study will help to better understand possible treatments for chronic pain patients. Participants undergo structural imaging, a functional Magnetic Resonance Image (fMRI) and computed tomography (CT). These images are used to align the low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) device which uses sound waves to temporarily change brain activity. Pain testing is done using a small device that will increase/decrease the temperature of the skin. Brain signals are collected using electroencephalography (EEG). Heart rate, blood pressure, and skin moisture will be monitored as well.

      Meditation + Pain Management for Chronic Knee Pain

      Charlottesville, Virginia
      The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of a positive affect enhancing intervention designed to reduce pain and augment reward system function in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The scientific premise is that patient use of a positive emotion generative practice - savoring meditation, which has been demonstrated to reduce pain in experimental laboratory settings, enhanced with a pain neuroscience education component about reward system dysfunction as a chronic pain mechanism - is optimally suited to reduce postsurgical pain and augment reward system functioning relative to a Pain Self-Management and Education (PSME) condition. We will randomize 150 patients with KOA undergoing unilateral TKA to a brief, 4-session (20-30 minutes each) course of Savoring Meditation (SM; n = 75) or PSME (n = 75) delivered remotely by trained interventionists in a one-on-one format. We will assess pain and as well as pain-related risk and protective factors both via questionnaire and via weeklong ecological momentary assessment (EMA) data bursts on the following schedule: baseline, post-surgery, and 3-month follow-up. In addition, participants will attend laboratory testing sessions at baseline and 6-weeks post-surgery, during which affective pain modulation and electroencephalographic (EEG) brain biomarkers associated with pain and affect will be recorded. Participants in SM be encouraged to practice their savoring for 5 minutes/day during the week following surgery, as well as to use it to manage pain flares in a self-directed manner.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How much do Chronic 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 Chronic 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 Chronic 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 Chronic 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 Chronic 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 Chronic Pain clinical trials?

      Most recently, we added Yoga + Neuromodulation for Chronic Low Back Pain, Morphine or Ketamine for Pain and Ketamine for Pelvic Pain to the Power online platform.
