Pain Paid Clinical Trials in Tennessee

The main objective of the study is to evaluate the safety, performance and clinical benefits of the Persona implant and its instrumentation in primary total knee arthroplasty Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of retatrutide in participants who have obesity or overweight (J1I-MC-GZBJ master protocol) including subsets of participants who have knee osteoarthritis (OA) (J1I-MC-GOA1) or who have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (J1I-MC-GSA1). This study will last about 89 weeks and will include up to 24 visits. Read Less

This study will evaluate de-identified (anonymous) data in subject medical charts to review the clinical outcomes of various treatment approaches in the treatment of chronic pain. Read Less

The aim of this study is to assess whether IW-3300 is safe and works for the treatment of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). The main question the study aims to answer is whether IW-3300 helps bladder pain and other symptoms (for example, bladder burning, pressure and discomfort). Subjects will be assigned to receive either the study drug or placebo by chance. Read Less

Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a severe pain condition affecting 3-8 million people in the United States lacking treatments that work. Emotional suffering is common in IC/BPS and known to make physical symptoms worse, and studies show patient sub-groups respond differently to treatment. Individuals with IC/BPS have distinct subgroups, or "phenotypes," largely characterized by the distribution of pain throughout the body. Supported by our preliminary evidence, the overall goal of this project is to assess how IC/BPS phenotype may affect response to two different therapies often given without regard to patient phenotype, pelvic floor physical therapy (PT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for IC/BPS.

Chronic Pain Management (CPM) has increasingly utilized long-term opioid analgesic therapy, a change associated with increased opioid abuse (a greater exposure in vulnerable individuals), non-pain health consequences (hormone changes, falls), and a dramatic rise in opioid-related overdoses and deaths. Treatment strategies that minimize the need for chronic high-dose opioids are sorely needed. This project will aim to test what degree mindfulness therapy (MT) and spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) produce pre- to mid- to post-treatment changes in endogenous opioid (EO) function. Read Less

The goal of this two-group randomized trial is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a remotely-delivered health coaching intervention offered in conjunction with usual care for patients with an acute exacerbation of chronic low back pain who present to the emergency department (ED). The main questions this feasibility trial aims to answer are: Is our health coaching intervention and randomized trial methodology feasible to conduct? Is our health coaching intervention acceptable to participants and ED providers? Participants will be randomized to one of two groups (usual ED care plus health coaching or usual ED care plus education) and complete outcome assessments at 3 and 6 months after ED discharge. Participants and ED providers will also complete an interview. Read Less

The study investigators are interested in learning more about how drugs, that are given to children by their health care provider, act in the bodies of children and young adults in hopes to find the most safe and effective dose for children. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the PK of understudied drugs currently being administered to children per SOC as prescribed by their treating provider. Read Less

The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to compare two behavioral interventions for patients who are recovering from lumbar spinal surgery for a degenerative spine condition. The study aims to answer the following questions: Is it feasible and acceptable to deliver the interventions and conduct the study procedures in this patient population? Do the interventions benefit patients with regard to pain-related, functional, opioid use, and psychosocial outcomes at 3 and 6 months after surgery, and does one intervention have more benefit than the other? Participants will be asked to do the following: Complete self-report questionnaires online before spine surgery, and around 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after spine surgery. Complete a sensory pain task before spine surgery, and around 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after spine surgery. Around two weeks after surgery, participants will be randomly assigned by chance to one of two behavioral interventions - Mindfulness or Education. Participants will then be asked to attend 8, weekly sessions with a study treatment coach over telehealth (online with camera and microphone). Read Less

Low back pain is a leading cause of disability worldwide. The lumbar zygapophyseal joints (z-joints) are estimated to be the source of low back pain between 10% and 40% of the time. Observational studies have shown that lumbar medial branch radiofrequency neurotomy (LMBRFN) can be an effective treatment for z-joint low back pain. Nonetheless, other publications such as the Cochrane collaboration systematic review and the "Minimal Interventional Treatments for Participants with Chronic Low Back Pain" or "MINT" randomized controlled trial conclude that LMBRFN is not efficacious. These discrepancies in the literature may be due to differences in patient selection and procedural technique. This study aims to employ patient selection via dual medial branch block resulting in at least 80% relief on both occasions. Using this rather strict enrollment criteria, the aim of the study is to then compare LMBRFN utilizing 16 gauge needles via the "parallel" approach as endorsed by Spine Intervention Society guidelines to LMBRFN performed with 22 gauge needles and another commonly employed "perpendicular" technique similar to that approach used for medial branch blocks. The primary outcome of the study will be to determine if there is a difference in the percentage of patients with lumbar facet pain who achieve moderate or good response (improvement of Numeric Pain Rating Scale of at least 50% or 80%) or in the duration of effect (median duration of moderate or good response in those with positive outcome) between these two groups.

This is a 2-part, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, Phase 2 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and PK of RTA 901 in qualified subjects with DPNP. Each study part will be randomized into 3 treatment arms; 2 different doses of RTA 901 and a Placebo. The doses of RTA 901 in Part 2 will be selected based on the Exposure-Response (E-R) analyses of data from Part 1. A total of 384 subjects will be randomized in this study. Each part will have 192 subjects, with 64 subjects randomized 1:1:1 to each treatment arm. The duration of each part of the study will be approximately 20 weeks, including a Screening Period of up to 2 weeks, a Run-in Period of 2 weeks, a Treatment Period of 12 weeks, and a Follow-up Period of 4 weeks. All subjects in Part 1 and Part 2 of the study will follow the same visit and assessment schedule. Eligibility will be assessed during the Screening and Run-in Periods. Read Less
