Pain Paid Clinical Trials in New York

The investigators will conduct a 13,000-patient randomized multi-center trial to determine (i) which general anesthesia technique yields superior patient recovery experiences in any of three surgical categories ((a) major inpatient surgery, (b) minor inpatient surgery, (c) outpatient surgery) and (ii) whether TIVA confers no more than a small (0.2 %) increased risk of intraoperative awareness than INVA in patients undergoing both outpatient and inpatient surgeries Read Less

Chronic low back pain is notoriously difficult to treat and is a primary contributor to lost work days and excessive health expenditures, and whose treatment has, in part, contributed to the opioid crisis. Surgery is only an option in a minority of these patients, usually confined to those with structural instability. Yoga is an ancient modality whose benefits are currently being studied. Read Less

This is a Phase 2, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, single-dose, pharmacodynamic study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination product (VNX001) versus placebo and its individual components (heparin sodium and lidocaine hydrochloride (HCl)) for the reduction of bladder pain in patients with interstitial cystitis (IC) / bladder pain syndrome (BPS), Who Have an Episode of Acute Bladder Pain of Moderate to Severe Intensity.

This is a single-site randomized controlled pilot study at Mount Sinai Hospital evaluating the effect of virtual reality on procedural pain and anxiety in obstetric patients undergoing ultrasound-guided needle procedures. Patients will be randomized to receive either VR or standard care during the procedure and complete validated questionnaires assessing pain, anxiety, intervention acceptability, and satisfaction.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how safe and how well a treatment works compared to placebo for people with nerve pain that begins in their feet and moves up the leg to just below the knee. Participation may last up to 30 weeks including screening. Read Less

This is a prospective, sham-controlled, randomized, single-blinded, multi-center study comparing two different modes of the NexWave device, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and interferential current (IFC), with an identical non-functioning NexWave sham device or self-defined standard of care for improvement of pain intensity of non-specific CLBP.

This is a randomized clinical trial to evaluate a digital pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) intervention for chronic back pain (CBP). The purpose of this research is to test whether a new digital treatment for chronic pain works as well as traditional treatments for chronic back pain (CBP). Some people with CBP experienced side effects from other treatments, or previous treatments did not relieve pain, so this research aims to see if a digital therapy is a better option for CBP. This study will assess changes in pain intensity from PRT intervention compared to a standard of care (SOC) control group in adults with CBP. SOC is defined as a comprehensive clinical care plan, including a consultation with physiatrist and prescribed interventions, which will capture a comparison representative of all potential interventions that are recommended for an individual. The research team plans to enroll 180 participants who will be randomized into one of three groups. Read Less

This phase II trial studies how well low-dose radiotherapy works in treating bone pain in patients with multiple myeloma that has spread to the bone. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, gamma rays, neutrons, protons, or other sources to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Low-dose radiotherapy may be more convenient for patients and their families, may not interfere as much with the timing of chemotherapy, and may have less chance for short term or long-term side effects from the radiation.

Inadequate pain management during gynecologic procedures is a growing women's health concern, especially as it reduces access to care for patients who may subsequently avoid further treatment. Although recent evidence has shown that local anesthesia reduces pain during certain gynecologic procedures, such as intrauterine (IUD) placements, there is still limited evidence on the effectiveness of local anesthesia during saline infusion sonograms (SIS). The SIS is a routine procedure performed during the fertility workup to evaluate the uterus and fallopian tubes. In this study, the investigators are determining if local anesthesia improves the pain experience for women undergoing SIS by randomly assigning 246 women to receive local anesthesia (lidocaine) versus placebo (capped needle pressing against areas where the paracervical block is performed). The investigators will compare their self-reported pain scores at various points in the procedure. If local anesthesia is shown to be effective at reducing pain, this could ultimately improve the patient experience in fertility evaluations moving forward and make this procedure more accessible to all women.

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. Read Less

The goal of this project is to test the effects of the VibraCool mechanical stimulation neuromodulatory therapeutic device on post-operative pain and opioid use following anterior crucitate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), and thus residual opioids in circulation. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Suzetrigine (SUZ) in participants with pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Read Less
