Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a significant and pervasive issue among upper limb amputees, severely impacting their quality of life. The literature delineating prevalence of upper versus lower limb amputations is limited, but the prevalence of total amputations in the United States is estimated to reach 3 million individuals by 2050, with approximately 185,000 new cases annually. PLP affects 60-68% of these patients, leading to heightened levels of anxiety, depression, and reduced overall well-being. Read Less

The goal of this study is to determine if rapid outpatient evaluation vs hospitalization management is the best strategy (based on patient-centered measures and safe, equitable, and efficient resource use) for evaluating patients with acute chest pain who are at moderate risk for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Patients will be randomized in the Emergency Department to either an outpatient evaluation (CARE-CP) or hospitalization evaluation for their symptoms. Read Less

To be eligible for the trial, subjects must have ongoing moderate to severe neuropathic pain related to a prior course of platinum and/or taxane chemotherapy and have no clinical evidence of actively progressive disease. The trial period will comprise a Screening period (up to 35 Days), randomization and a 4-day treatment period, followed by a 12-week follow up period (12 weeks total after initial treatment), and an End-of-Trial/Follow-up visit which will occur at Week 13. This is a study to research the effects of the study drug on neuropathic pain compared placebo. Read Less

The primary research purpose is to determine if the use of a drug therapy intervention (each study participant will be randomly assigned to receive one of 3 study medications which will be blinded from everyone, including the study participants, and all research staff (except the principal investigator), combined with a series of 3 injections of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) into an osteoarthritic knee joint, leads to reductions in knee pain, and improvements in physical function. Improvements will be assessed by serially evaluating pain scores and functionality using standardized and validated questionaires which will be completed by the study participant at each clinic office visit. In addition, blood tests will be drawn at each visit to evalute any changes in blood compostion. If the participant meets the study inclusion and exclusion criteria and agrees to attend 7 follow up office visits, they will be eligble to enroll in the study. If they wish to volunarily enroll in the study, it will be explained in detail, afterwhich all questions and any concerns will be answered. Each office visit will take between 30-45 minutes and will take place over a 12-month study period comittment. Read Less

This is a pilot study designed to evaluate the effectiveness of TENS as part of post-operative pain management. Subjects receiving a TENS unit as part of clinical practice will be approached for consent and followed for 12 months. Read Less

The UPGRADE registry will capture long-term, real-world outcomes to understand the effect of Differential Target Multiplexed (DTM®) programming in the Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) implanted population on the management of chronic pain, primarily on its use for trunk and/or limb pain. The clinical study is sponsored by Celéri Health and is funded through a financial grant from Medtronic's External Research Program. The registry study will be conducted across approximately 25 centers in the United States with up to 600 participants enrolled. Read Less
