Pain, Chronic Clinical Trials

This is a placebo-controlled, multi-arm phase II platform screening trial designed to test the safety, pain responses, and pharmacodynamic activity of multiple experimental therapies simultaneously in participants with moderate-to-severe pain due to schwannomatosis (SWN). This Master Study is being conducted as a platform that may allow participants with pain associated with schwannomatosis to receive a novel intervention throughout this study. Embedded within the Master Study are individual drug sub-studies: * Investigational Drug Sub-Study A: Siltuximab * Investigation Drug Sub-Study B: Erenumab-Aooe Read Less

The extent and depth of the ongoing opioid crisis are well known and many interventions are under way in the United States and other countries to alleviate its devastating impact on individuals and the society. To address specific challenges of pain and opioid management (POM) in older and vulnerable adults, the investigators will design and implement a multi-faceted, person-centered, and scalable opioid use disorder (OUD) management program in Oklahoma primary care practices. The investigators expect that the rigorously designed and evidence-based program will establish and disseminate innovative solutions for pain and opioid management in high-risk, older and vulnerable populations living with chronic pain. The proposed initiative will help primary care practices optimize pain management approaches in older adults through an integrated and trans-disciplinary application of innovations in multi-modal pain management, pain mechanism-based pharmacotherapy, patient goal-oriented care, implementation science, evidence-based quality improvement methodology, and community-engaged design.

This study will investigate effects of a psychoeducation pain management skills intervention on adults with persistent pain by training a cohort of American Society for Pain Management Nursing (ASPMN) nurses to deliver and it \[Empowered Relief (ER)\], as a single-session video-conferenced program. The primary objective is to evaluate the effects of ASPMN nurse-provided ER versus waitlist control (WLC) on pain catastrophizing, pain bothersomeness, pain intensity, pain interference, sleep disturbance, physical function, depression, anxiety, and social isolation for patients with persistent pain. Secondarily, feasibility and acceptability of the ER program will be assessed through recruitment and retention data and qualitative satisfaction data. Read Less

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. Read Less
