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.

Multiprofen-CC™ for Postoperative Pain

Hamilton, Ontario
Total knee arthroplasty is a surgical treatment which involves replacing the damaged articular cartilage of the knee joint with an artificial prosthetic in end-stage knee osteoarthritis. Although total knee arthroplasties are mostly successful, approximately 1 in 5 patients are unsatisfied with their outcomes with 16-33% of patients of patients experiencing lasting pain following total knee arthroplasty. Multiprofen-CC™ is a compounded topical analgesic currently available to healthcare professionals for prescription in patients experiencing localized musculoskeletal pain. To date there has been no evidence-based guidance generated to evaluate the efficacy of Multiprofen-CC™ in osteoarthritis patients. This study will test, in patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis undergoing total knee arthroplasty, if the use of topical Multiprofen-CC™ in addition to standard of care pain management is more effective in controlling knee pain and reducing opioid use compared to placebo plus standard care alone.

tDCS + Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Postoperative Pain

Charleston, South Carolina
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a new medical technology can help reduce post-operative total knee or hip pain when combined with a Cognitive-Behavioral intervention (CBI). This new medical technology, is called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), it uses a very small amount of electricity to temporarily stimulate specific areas of the brain thought to be involved in pain reduction. The electrical current passes through the skin, scalp, hair, and skull and requires no additional medication, sedation, or needles. This study will investigate the effects of tDCS, the Cognitive-Behavioral (CB) intervention and their combination on pain among veterans following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA). The Veteran may benefit in the form of decreased pain and opioid requirements following knee or hip replacement surgery. However, benefit is only likely if Veterans are randomized to one of the 3 (out of 4) groups. This study hopes to determine the effects of these interventions and combined effect on post-operative pain, opioid use and functioning during the 48-hour post-operative period following a total knee or hip replacement.

New Opioid Packaging for Opioid Use Disorder

Farmington, Connecticut
The overall objective of this clinical trial is to identify the impact of selected package features, known as the Opioid Package Prototype (OPP), on the safe and effective use of opioids. Our specific aims are: (Aim 1) to evaluate the effectiveness of OPP on prescribing, dispensing, and patient use of oxycodone among orthopaedic surgery patients receiving post-operative outpatient oxycodone for post-surgical pain management, and (Aim 2) to determine the feasibility of OPP for orthopaedic surgery prescribers, pharmacists, and orthopaedic surgery patients. Such data can be used to further optimize packaging and labeling design, help patients and caregivers utilize their medication and packaging correctly, and improve prescribing and dispensing habits. The central hypothesis is that the OPP will be more effective than the amber vial in efforts to reduce oxycodone prescribing among patients over 18 receiving short-term management of post orthopedic surgery pain.

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.

Enhanced Recovery Protocol for Postoperative Pain

Fort Worth, Texas
The goal of this interventional study is to learn if an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol works to reduce the need for narcotic pain medications in live donor kidney transplant recipients. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the ERAS protocol lower the amount of opioid narcotic medication needed to manage post-surgery pain? Does the ERAS protocol help lower pain scores after surgery? Researchers will compare the ERAS protocol to previous patients where the ERAS protocol was not used to see if the ERAS protocol works to reduce post-surgery pain. Participants will be asked to: * Drink a pre-surgery carbohydrate drink two hours before your surgery. * Take a pre-surgery dose of Tylenol by mouth. * Take a pre-surgery dose of Gabapentin by mouth. * The surgeon will administer a local numbing medication at the surgery site by injection during the surgery. * Begin walking with assistance about 12 hours after your surgery. * Allow the research staff to collect data about your kidney function. This data will be collected on your postoperative clinic visits, which generally occur about twice weekly for one month. This information will determine your kidney health, need for hospitalization, and side effects that may occur.

Weighted Blankets for Post-Surgical Pain

La Jolla, California
The strongest psychological predictor of persistent pain after surgery is anxiety before surgery. The weight of blanket a person uses overnight may alter both anxiety and pain levels. The proposed study will determine whether a heavier or lighter blanket alters presurgical anxiety or postsurgical pain in individuals undergoing a breast surgery. We will also study whether any blanket-induced changes in postsurgical pain are related to reductions in anxiety before surgery induced by the blanket. Finally, we will examine clinical and psychological factors that might explain differences in how surgical patients respond to blanket weight. This research will improve our understanding of whether blanket weight can alter anxiety before a surgery or pain after a surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do 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 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 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 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 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 Post-Surgical Pain clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Yoga for Persistent Post-Surgical Pain, Enhanced Recovery Protocol for Postoperative Pain and ATX101 for Postoperative Pain to the Power online platform.
