Pain Paid Clinical Trials in Texas

The purpose of this study to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of SUZ as part of multimodal therapy (MMT) in treating acute postoperative pain. Read Less

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

The purpose of the chronic pain master protocol is to compare independent pain interventions and establish an overarching structure for the disease-state addenda (DSA) and intervention-specific appendices (ISAs). The ISAs may start independently of other ISAs as interventions become available for clinical testing. Read Less

Objective: To improve quality-of-life and health care delivery to patients receiving ureteral stents. Specific Aims: Evaluate the feasibility, practicality, and qualitative outcomes of utilizing intra-nasal ketorolac in patients with indwelling ureteral stents (Phase I), followed by a randomized trial comparing two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, intra-nasal Ketorolac versus oral Diclofenac. Hypotheses: Due to its favorable pharmacokinetics in relieving acute pain, investigators expect improved pain scores and a lower rate of unplanned clinical encounters in patients receiving intra-nasal ketorolac compared to those taking oral diclofenac following ureteroscopic surgery for urolithiasis. Study Rationale: Following ureteroscopic management of urolithiasis, patient with indwelling ureter stents have higher levels of discomfort compared to those without a ureter stent. Prior studies showed that intramuscular Ketorolac at time of ureter stent removal decreased the incidence of unplanned clinical encounters. Furthermore, onset of analgesic effect by intra-nasal ketorolac is faster than its oral form, and similar its intramuscular and intravenous counterparts. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of the current hard gelatin capsule formulation of NRD135S.E1 80 mg once daily in the treatment of PDPN when administered for 13 weeks. Read Less

The overarching objective of this proposal is to conduct a multi-site Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) across multiple Military Health System (MHS) sites to optimize the sequencing and integration of two intervention strategies in total knee arthoplasty (TKA) patients: a single-session mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) and an intensive 8-week MBI-Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) designed to simultaneously reduce prolonged pain and chronic opioid use by enhancing self-regulation. Aim 1: Evaluate the extent to which a brief preoperative MBI improves TKA patients' postoperative musculoskeletal health and reduces chronic opioid use. Aim 2: Evaluate the extent to which an intensive MBI (MORE) improves musculoskeletal health and reduces chronic opioid use among patients non-responsive to preoperative intervention. Aim 3: (A) Determine patient baseline characteristics that moderate MBI treatment responses. (B) Quantify the degree to which the impact of Phase 1 and 2 MBIs on musculoskeletal health and opioid dose are mediated by changes in mechanistic autonomic marker of self-regulation: heart-rate variability (HRV).

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the Persona Keel cementless and cemented knee. Read Less

A randomized study to determine safety and efficacy of single subcutaneous (SC) administration of HAL treatment in patients with CINP. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of an injectable combination of bupivacaine and meloxicam (Zynrelef) vs injectable liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel), two extended local anesthesia strategies currently approved by FDA and on the market for post-surgical pain control. The investigators plan on randomizing study participants to either Exparel or Zynrelef at the closure site of robotic sleeve gastrectomy and assessing their pain control postoperatively both in the hospital and at home. The investigators will measure the outcome of two drugs, Zynrelief, and Exparel on postoperative pain score -using the NRS pin score up to 72 hours after surgery. The total opioid use will be recorded in forms that will be used to measure pain score and total opioid use and will be collected to the Excel sheet. The cost of the drug will be calculated for internal use for Hospital purpose only. Read Less

This is a retrospective and prospective, multicenter, observational patient registry to record outcomes from patients undergoing cryoablation of the intercostal nerves (cryoanalgesia) for post-operative pain management. Read Less

This study involves delivering a mindfulness program that was developed for Veterans called VA Compassionate Awareness Learning Module (VA CALM) to Veterans with spinal cord injuries (SCI) to develop accommodations to make the VA CALM program more accessible for those with SCI. It will involve delivering the unmodified curriculum to a group of Veterans with SCI first to determine what areas need accommodations, working with a group of stakeholders to develop appropriate accommodations, and then delivering 1-2 modified modules via virtual reality to evaluate whether using virtual reality was feasible and acceptable for this program.
