Comparing Integrative Interventions for Chronic Pelvic Pain
Recruiting
The researchers will conduct a pilot randomized trial to assess functional changes with two different remote integrative non-pharmacologic interventions for women with chronic pelvic pain (CPP). The study team will compare a novel web-based, cognitive-behavioral program designed for patients with CPP and a commercially available physical activity remote application. The team aims to gather information about differences in sexual function, physical function, pain, and quality of life.

Comparing Analgesic Regimen Effectiveness and Safety for Surgery (CARES) Trial
Recruiting
This trial is being completed to compare two commonly used options to treat pain after surgery. Participants that undergo gallbladder removal, hernia repair, and breast lump removal will be eligible to enroll. Eligible participants will be randomized to 1 of 2 groups of medications (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) plus acetaminophen or low dose opioids plus acetaminophen). It is anticipated that the NSAID group will have superior clinical outcomes and fewer side effects when comp... Read More

Physical Activity and Percussive Massage Therapy for Reducing Pain in Older Women
Recruiting
Over 60% of women aged 65 and older suffer from pain, yet this group is underrepresented in research. Physical activity and percussive massage therapy may help manage pain, but both require consistent engagement, making long-term participation challenging for most people. Self-monitoring could improve adherence to these pain management efforts, but the optimal strategies for self-monitoring remain unknown. This is a a 2x2 factorial randomized controlled trial in older women (N = 108) to determi... Read More

A Trial of a Positive Psychology Intervention for Older Adults (RESET) During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Recruiting
The heightened vulnerability to COVID-19 of African American older adults in Detroit, Michigan and other marginalized communities is linked to systemic racism experienced over the life course. Structural inequities also magnify the pandemic's impact on older adults' physical and psychosocial functioning. Many older adults in Detroit, burdened by poor health even before the pandemic, face a downward spiral of increased distress, reduced physical and social activity, and physical deconditioning. R...
