      Laser Therapy for Pain After C-Section

      Hamilton, Ontario
      C-sections may result in a lot of pain that is distressing to the mother, and can impact bonding with the baby. Although there are medications used to treat strong pain, they are not good to use after C-sections because they can affect the baby. There is a need for a pain management option that can reduce the use of medications. The investigators are testing the effects of a combined light and laser device (photo-biomodulation therapy; PBMT), used on the wound twice daily, with respect to pain right after surgery, and pain that lasts longer than 6 weeks after surgery.

      Pain Management App for Postoperative Pain

      Toronto, Ontario
      There are few applications available in the community to help teenagers manage pain after surgery. The focus of this study is to better understand the pain experience of children after having surgery and to design a Smartphone app called "iCanCope with Post-Operative Pain" (iCanCope PostOp), to help children and parents to better manage pain at home after surgery. The app will help keep track of pain, provide information about the teenager's surgery and provides "in-the-moment" advice wherever and whenever the patient needs it.

      Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Chronic Post-Surgical Pain

      Boston, Massachusetts
      The current project will (1) enhance our understanding of the neurobiology of chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP); (2) provide a metric to follow patients with CPSP in the clinic; (3) provide a metric for those who will chronify; and (4) understand the age-related differences in CPSP. Ultimately, an improved comprehension of mechanisms linked to CPSP will provide finer tools for optimizing the selection of treatments for individual patients. Moreover, data that demonstrates the underlying pathobiological pain mechanism(s) active in CPSP, particularly those non-responsive to current therapies, may be used to validate novel strategies both pharmacological and non-pharmacological.

      Peripheral Transcutaneous Magnetic Stimulation for Chronic Pain

      Miami, Florida
      This research aims to uncover the Mechanisms of pain relief through the FDA-cleared peripheral transcutaneous magnetic stimulation (pTMS) device by MagVenture. 50 people with chronic pain (post-surgical or post-traumatic) will be identified and recruited. The eligibility for participation in the study will be evaluated by a series of pain and mental health questionnaires followed by quantitative sensory testing (QST) to assess response to noxious heat, cold, and pressure stimuli. Blood will be drawn to isolate plasma, serum, and leukocytes. Participants will then undergo pTMS at the site of pain for four consecutive days. At the end of the therapy, pain testing will be done again, followed by blood withdrawal to assess the changes in plasma and leukocyte levels of mediators of pain. It is anticipated that pTMS will increase mediators of pain relief and reduce inflammatory mediators. Risks: It is possible that a few participants may not respond to pTMS therapy. However, plasma analysis of mediators of pain may help stratify these participants into responders vs. non-responders. Risks associated with the study are minimal and mainly involve discomfort associated with pain testing. The importance of knowledge gained includes understanding pain relief mechanisms by medical devices such as pTMS, which will result in better pain management.

      Why Other Patients Applied

      "I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

      "I changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials."

      WR
      Obesity PatientAge: 58

      "As a healthy volunteer, I like to participate in as many trials as I'm able to. It's a good way to help research and earn money."

      Healthy Volunteer PatientAge: 38

      "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."

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How much do Chronic post-surgical 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 post-surgical 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 post-surgical 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 post-surgical 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 post-surgical 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 post-surgical pain clinical trials?

      Most recently, we added PFM-Guided Cortical Stimulation for Neuropathic Pain, Yoga for Persistent Post-Surgical Pain and Peripheral Transcutaneous Magnetic Stimulation for Chronic Pain to the Power online platform.
