There are currently 120 active clinical trials seeking participants for Pain research studies. The states with the highest number of trials for Pain participants are California, Ohio, Florida and Illinois.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) for Intrauterine Device (IUD) Insertion Pain
NCT07044622
Recruiting
This study is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the use of high frequency TENS for pain control during IUD insertion. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a relatively low-cost, low-risk, non-pharmacologic intervention for pain management. Previous studies have found that TENS reduces pain associated with other outpatient gynecological procedures. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either active treatment or placebo (placebo TENS) an... Read More

Effect of Magnesium on Neuromonitoring
NCT06975072
Recruiting
Intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM) is commonly used during complex spinal surgery to monitor the integrity of neural structures and improve the perioperative safety profile. Transcranial Motor Evoked Potentials (TcMEPs) monitor the integrity of the motor pathways and are one of the most commonly used monitoring modalities in spinal surgery. Because inhaled anesthetics can negatively affect the ability to monitor TcMEPs, anesthesiologists commonly use a combination of propofol and... Read More

Measuring Analgesic Interventions
NCT03794362
Recruiting
It is generally recognized that pain assessment and management especially in newborns, children and other nonverbal populations is an unmet need. According to the American Medical Association, "the pediatric population is at risk of inadequate pain management, with age-related factors affecting pain management in children. Children are often given minimal or no analgesia for procedures that would routinely be treated aggressively in adults. Although much is now known about pain management in chi... Read More

Neural Correlates of Hypoalgesia Driven by Observation
NCT03897998
Recruiting
Placebo effects held an ambivalent place in health care for at least two centuries. On the one hand, placebos are traditionally used as controls in clinical trials to correct for biases and the placebo response is viewed as an effect to be factored out in order to isolate and accurately measure the effects of the treatment. On the other hand, there is scientific evidence that placebo effects represent fascinating psychoneurobiological events involving the contribution of distinct central nervous... Read More

Neural Mechanisms of Immersive Virtual Reality in Chronic Pain (VR TMD EEG)
NCT06214923

Pain Alleviation With Testosterone in Opioid-Induced Hypogonadism
NCT04798469

Brief Mindfulness Intervention for Patients at a Free Acute Care Clinic
NCT07025161

This is a single-site, two-arm, parallel-group randomized clinical trial (RCT). The clinical effects of a 4-minute audio-recorded mindfulness intervention for 100 English-speaking patients and 100 Spanish-speaking patients at a free acute care clinic will be investigated relative to a 4-minute audio-recoding about pain psychoeducation.

A Randomized Controlled Trial to Assess the Impact of Live and Recorded Music-Based Interventions on Pre-operative Stress, Mood, Pain and Biomarkers, in Neurosurgical Patients (Music-STAR Trial)
NCT06536504
Recruiting
The study plans to enroll a total of 132 patients. The goal of this study is to measure pre-and post-music intervention changes in patients' vital signs, serum- and plasma-level biomarkers by broad-spectrum proteomics analysis, metabolic analysis, and perceived pain, anxiety, and mood states as measured by validated questionnaires (STAI-S, POMS-SF, and VASP). We will collect demographic information on each participant. Participants will also complete the Brief Musical Experience Questionnaire (B... Read More
