Chronic Pain in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Recruiting
The objective is to identify modifiable clinical factors and neurobiological pathways that lead to the development of chronic pain in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis. Participants will undergo quantitative sensory testing, a type of testing that involves assessing response to well-defined, quantifiable painful stimuli, at 0, 3, and 12 months. A subset of participants will also undergo magnetic resonance imaging at 0 and 12 months to assess neuroimaging markers that have previously been... Read More

Clinical and Scientific Assessment of Pain and Painful Disorders
Recruiting
Background: Researchers want to better understand pain by studying people with and without different kinds of pain. To do this, researchers will expose people to pleasant and unpleasant sensations. They will ask them questions about their pain. Researchers also want to see if these people are eligible for other research studies at the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. Objectives: To study the experience of pain. Also to find people eligible to join other NIH studies.... Read More

Neuropathic Pain and Operant Conditioning of Cutaneous Reflexes After SCI
Recruiting
The purpose of the second part of the study is to examine the effect of reflex training in the leg to decrease neuropathic pain. For this, the researchers are recruiting 15 individuals with neuropathic pain due to spinal cord injury to participate in the reflex training procedure. The study involves approximately 50 visits with a total study duration of about 6.5 months (3 months for baseline and training phases followed by 1 month and 3 month follow-up visits).

The Potential of Oxytocin to Reduce Opioid Abuse Liability and Pain Among Older Adults
Recruiting
Some research suggests that administration of oxytocin with oxycodone may reduce its abuse liability and improve its ability to reduce pain. In a 6-session laboratory study, we will be evaluating the effects of oxycodone and oxytocin (combined and separately, across sessions) on experimentally-induced pain, subjective effects, and decision-making.

The Impact of Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy on Pain In Gender Minority Adults
Recruiting
TRANSPIRE is an observational study of \~200 individuals who (1) will be initiating gender-affirming hormone therapy (GHT) or (2) are gender minority individuals who do not use GHT. The primary outcome will be to identify how the presence of chronic pain changes overtime with GHT through the use of surveys, quantitative sensory testing (QST), brain MRIs, and qualitative interviews. Following recruitment and consent, participants will complete baseline survey measures and will repeat those measu... Read More

Ketamine Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics for Postpartum Depression and Pain After Cesarean Delivery
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to identify pharmacokinetics of postpartum ketamine infusion. This study will assess ketamine kinetics and metabolism in this setting. Ketamine is expected to exert different kinetics during the physiologic state of post-pregnancy. The goal in conducting this study is to better understand the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of postpartum ketamine infusion. A secondary goal is to compare these kinetics to reproductive age matched controls and to assess sex diffe... Read More

Scrambler Therapy With Duloxetine-based Usual Care vs Duloxetine-based Usual Care for Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
Recruiting
The Investigators hypothesize that Scrambler therapy with duloxetine compared to duloxetine-based usual care will result in greater improvement in CIPN as measured by the BPI-Short Form. In addition, the Investigators will further assess pain using the EORTC CIPN-20 and determine whether Scrambler therapy will result in improved levels of function as measured with the PDQ, and decreased need for opioid medications. Our primary objective Investigate whether Scrambler therapy with duloxetine is s... Read More

Oklahoma Study of Native American Pain Risk III: Stress and Resilience
Recruiting
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the relationship between environmental structural racism and discrimination and chronic pain risk in Native American adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How does environmental structural racism and discrimination affect chronic pain-promoting mechanisms in Native Americans? 2. What psychosocial factors buffer the negative effects of environmental structural racism and discrimination on chronic pain-promoting mechanisms?
