      Two-Point Discrimination Training for Chronic Pain

      Cincinnati, Ohio
      SPECIFIC AIMS Pain in both youth and adults is a complex, subjective and personal experience, and remains poorly understood. One particularly perplexing dimension of some forms of pain is the tendency of pain to spread outside of an affected body site to adjacent location, and then to unaffected body sites. Such widespread pain may reflect an altered spatial tuning of somatosensory processing, such that lateral inhibition is diminished, thereby allowing pain to spread. To date, no therapies exist which are designed specifically to diminish or even reverse the spatial spread of pain. However, training in two-point discrimination holds the potential to retune spatial aspects of somatosensory processing and may represent a novel therapy for widespread pain. Thus, the present investigation will test the following aims: Aim 1. Do youth with chronic pain have disrupted spatial tuning of somatosensory processing? Deficits in two point tactile discrimination have long been noted in adults with chronic pain, but such deficits remain poorly documented in pediatric chronic pain patients. In order to determine if such deficits exist, youth with both chronic pain and healthy youth will undergo assessment of two point discrimination thresholds. Aim 2. Does two-point discrimination training result in diminished pain and disability in youth with somatic pain? After initial characterization of tactile discrimination thresholds, youth with chronic pain will participate in multiple sessions of either two-point discrimination training or a single-point spatially-directed attentional control condition. Training will involve up to 9 additional sessions. Efficacy of training will be assessed by 1) reductions in the spatial extent of pain, 2) reductions in pain intensity and unpleasantness, and 3) reductions in pain-related disability.

      Self-Administered Acupressure for Chronic Back Pain

      Ann Arbor, Michigan
      Many Veterans experience chronic pain, with back pain the most commonly reported condition. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is moving from reliance on medications to an approach in which non-medication interventions, including complementary and integrative health treatments, are now a first line of care. Acupressure, a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique derived from acupuncture, is emerging as a potentially effective approach for treating several chronic pain conditions and could prove beneficial in helping Veterans manage their chronic low back pain. This study will determine the effectiveness of self-administered acupressure to treat chronic low back pain. 300 Veterans will be invited to participate in the study. All participants will be asked to attend an introduction to acupressure class and complete a survey when they join the study and again at 6 weeks and 10 weeks. The survey measures assess important outcomes, such as how pain interferes with daily function, as well as other areas that can be affected by pain such as fatigue and sleep quality. After completing the first survey, half of the participants will receive a tablet computer with an app that shows them how to self-administer acupressure for low back pain and will be asked to do daily acupressure sessions for the next 6 weeks. The other half of the participants will receive the tablet computer with the app approximately 10 weeks after completing the final survey based assessment. The investigators anticipate that outcomes will be improved after 6 weeks of acupressure practice, and these improvements will persist for the following 4 weeks.

      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.

      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).

      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.

      Emergency Department Physical Therapy for Lower Back Pain

      Chicago, Illinois
      This is a multi-site feasibility trial of an embedded emergency department (ED) physical therapy care model for low back pain at two EDs in the Northwestern Medicine and University of Utah Health systems. The study intervention (embedded ED physical therapy) is a reconceptualization of the traditional outpatient physical therapy care model in which we place a physical therapist directly in the ED to initiate timely care for patients with low back pain; we previously evaluated this intervention in a single center randomized trial. This multi-site feasibility trial will be comprised of 9 months of active intervention and 12 months of longitudinal data collection. The two sites will be parallel randomized 1:1 to receive either the embedded ED physical therapy condition (intervention, n=1) or usual care (control, n=1) via simple randomization. This trial focuses on feasibility outcomes - such as our ability to enroll participants, deliver the intervention with fidelity, and collect longitudinal patient-reported outcome data and electronic health record data - but a future multi-site full-scale trial will focus on the outcomes of pain-interference and opioid use.

      Erector Spinae Plane Block for Back Pain

      Chicago, Illinois
      The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an erector spinae plane block (ESPB; a type of nerve block) works to reduce pain in adults presenting to the emergency department with low back pain. It will also learn if the ESPB reduces pain, disability, and return to work at 7 days. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the ESPB reduce short-term pain in participants with low back pain? 2. Does the ESPB reduce longer-term pain, reduce disability, and improve return to work and activities in participants with low back pain? Researchers will compare ESPB to a placebo (an injection that does not involve a nerve block) to see if ESPB works to treat low back pain. Participants will: Receive either the ESPB or a placebo injection in the emergency department Report their pain scores for up to 120 minutes Report their pain, disability, and return to work at 7 days

      Spinal Manipulation and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction for Chronic Lower Back Pain

      Chicago, Illinois
      Chronic Pain Management (CPM) has increasingly utilized long-term opioid analgesic therapy, a change associated with increased opioid abuse (a greater exposure in vulnerable individuals), non-pain health consequences (hormone changes, falls), and a dramatic rise in opioid-related overdoses and deaths. Treatment strategies that minimize the need for chronic high-dose opioids are sorely needed. This project will aim to test what degree mindfulness therapy (MT) and spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) produce pre- to mid- to post-treatment changes in endogenous opioid (EO) function.

      Education for Chronic Lower Back Pain

      Chicago, Illinois
      The investigative team will provide 27 slides with bullet points and images of pain referral patterns for different causes (e.g., herniated disc, facet joint arthritis) for patients seen for a new visit with a chief complaint of chronic low back pain. This material is all publicly available but has been compiled in presentation form. This will have educational benefit for patients, discussing clinical signs and symptoms, risk factors and basic treatments. There will also be a smaller control group of that gets a condensed 4-slide presentation. After review of the slides, an independent observer will ask the patient what they think are the 2 most likely causes of their LBP (in order of likelihood) and match that with the attending physician and trainee, who will independently do the same. The investigative team will then determine how concordant the patient's answers are with the physicians and also record outcomes.

      Yoga + Neuromodulation for Chronic Low Back Pain

      Chicago, Illinois
      The objectives of this VA Merit application are to demonstrate efficacy of combined intermittent theta burst (iTBS) and yoga (iTBS+yoga) intervention on improving pain, function, analgesic use, self-efficacy, quality of life and well-being among Veterans with chronic low back pain (CLBP). This Merit project will directly benefit Veterans and VA Services by demonstrating efficacy of a new, non-medication treatment for Veterans with CLBP in need of non-opioid treatment options. Neuromodulation including iTBS is now offered at over 50 VA hospitals and yoga is among the complementary and integrative health programs being rolled out as a part of VAs Whole Health implementation efforts. Thus, should iTBS+yoga ultimately prove to be efficacious, VA facilities will be well-poised to offer this treatment. A novel, activity-based, non-medication treatment for Veterans with CLBP is of great need given the high prevalence of CLBP.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How much do Lower Back 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 Lower Back 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 Lower Back 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 Lower Back 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 Lower Back 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 Lower Back Pain clinical trials?

      Most recently, we added Yoga + Neuromodulation for Chronic Low Back Pain, Pregnenolone + DHEA for Lower Back Pain and Ketamine for Chronic Lower Back Pain and Depression to the Power online platform.
