A Study on Pain After Breast Reconstruction
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to find out how common persistent postmastectomy pain (PPMP) is among people who have had a mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery for their breast cancer. The study will also look at how effective regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI) surgery is for reducing pain from neuropathic PPMP after breast reconstruction.

Search to Advance Limited Use of Opioids Pilot: Optimization of Non-Opioid Therapy With a Steroid
Recruiting
To provide health care professionals, including dentists, with the best possible evidence for clinical decision making when deciding upon analgesics and use of corticosteroid for acute post-surgical pain management; a pilot double blind randomized clinical trial will be conducted to test the hypothesis that use of preemptive dose of corticosteroid will reduce the need for opioid rescue. The impacted 3rd molar extraction model will be used due to the predictable severity of the post-operative pai... Read More

CEM-Plate and CEM-Cage First-In-Human Use Efficacy Study
Recruiting
The study is a prospective, first-in-human, multi-center, non-randomized, single-arm study to assess the safety and efficacy of the CEM-Cage used with the CEM-Plate in patients who are appropriate candidates for a 2-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Fifty patients will be enrolled in the study and, after undergoing a 2-level ACDF, will be evaluated at 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months.

Treatment of Shoulder Osteoarthritis
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to learn if pain can be relieved by delivering small amounts of electricity ("electrical stimulation") to the nerves relaying sensory information to the shoulder. This study will use a device called Sprint PNS system. PNS stands for Peripheral Nerve Stimulation. This device is cleared by the FDA for up to 60 days of use for relief of chronic or acute pain.

STIMFIX Trail Lead Anchor System for Dorsal Column Stimulator Trail Leads (SECURE Study)
Recruiting
This project will investigate the efficacy of a Stimfix Trail lead anchor system (StimfixTM) in patients undergoing dorsal column stimulator trial. In dorsal column stimulator trails, two leads are placed in the epidural space and various frequencies, pulse widths, and amplitudes are run to reduce pain perception. This therapy has been in use for the last 70 years and today there are about 100,000 implants done annually for various pain indications. The process of obtaining the therapy requires... Read More

Ultrasound-Guided Treatments for Shoulder Pain in Wheelchair Users With Spinal Cord Injury
Recruiting
Rotator cuff disease (i.e., rotator cuff tendinopathy or tear) is a common cause of shoulder pain in persons with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). It usually resolves with non-operative treatments such as pharmacological agents and physical therapy; however, when this fails, rotator cuff surgery may be the only option. Corticosteroid injections are another alternative to provide temporary relief, but can over time accelerate degeneration of the tendon and lead to further damage. Autologous adip... Read More

Applying Pain Adaptability to Manual Therapy Practice
Recruiting
Mechanism research has identified pain adaptive and non-adaptive phenotypes by documenting the response to an ice immersion bath. Pain adaptive individuals exhibited a rapid response to cold and a rapid resolution of symptoms with continued exposure. Non-pain adaptive individuals had the opposite. Pain-adaptive individuals have the endogenous (internal) capacity to self-modulate pain therefore may pursue active self management techniques, whereas non-pain adaptive phenotypes may be more prone to...

Phenol Neurolysis of Genicular Nerves for Osteoarthritic Knee Pain
Recruiting
As the aging and obese populations continue to increase, there is a rapidly growing number of people at risk for knee osteoarthritis. Treatment typically starts conservatively with analgesics, physical therapy, and bracing. Intra-articular injections with corticosteroids and/or viscosupplementation may also be utilized in those with persistent knee pain. Genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation (GNRFA) is an increasingly employed procedure for refractory osteoarthritic knee pain with promising ef... Read More
