Pain Paid Clinical Trials in Texas

The goal of the ATX101-TKA-004 clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ATX101 1,500 mg in participants undergoing primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty. The study will compare the effectiveness of ATX101 with a saline placebo and bupivacaine, an active comparator. Additionally, it will assess opioid consumption among participants receiving ATX101 versus those given the saline placebo and bupivacaine. The trial will also focus on the safety and tolerability of ATX101 in the participants. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of SUZ for acute pain after laparoscopic procedures of the intraperitoneal or retroperitoneal cavities or arthroscopic orthopedic procedures. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of VX-993 in treating acute pain after a bunionectomy. Read Less

This study is looking into how safe and useful NOCISCAN is. NOCISCAN is a software as a Service (SaaS) tool that uses Magnetic Resonance (MR) spectroscopy. Nociscan (instead of 'It') leverages MRS to noninvasively help physicians distinguish between painful and nonpainful discs in the lumbar spine. The randomized controlled trial will compare the blinded and unblinded cohorts and their corresponding surgical outcomes with the Nocigram reports, generated prior to treatment, for each patient."

Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) a measure of the effectiveness of the descending pain pathway and therefore a measure of the body's ability to perform endogenous analgesia. In subjects with normal function of the descending pain pathway, the net-effect during CPM testing is anti-nociceptive, or inhibition of the ascending pain pathway. In those with impaired descending pain pathway function, the response to CPM testing is pro-nociceptive, indicating that the body is unable to inhibit the pain signal, or may even amplify it. There is literature that supports the presence of impaired CPM, and therefore impaired descending pain pathway function, in numerus chronic pain conditions, including low back pain. Impaired descending pain pathway function may be contributing to this chronic pain presentation. This study will give us information on whether a typical physical therapy plan of care is able to improve impaired CPM, and if CPM values are predictive of improvement in physical therapy. Read Less

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 randomized pragmatic trial is to assess the effect of monthly booster contacts on long-term Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain (BCBT-CP) pain outcomes compared to BCBT-CP without a booster in 716 Military Health Systems (MHS) beneficiaries referred to a Behavioral Health Consultant (BHC) for pain management using BCBT-CP. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either standard BCBT-CP (working with a BHC in the medical home clinic) or standard BCBT-CP with adjunctive monthly booster contacts. Additionally, patient participants and clinic providers and staff will be offered the opportunity to participate in separate post-treatment Focus Groups using a semi-structured interview format designed to assess the usability, ease of use, perceived effectiveness, helpfulness, and barriers to the pain management intervention. Patient participants will be assessed 3-, 6-, 12- and 18-Months following their first appointment for BCBT-CP. Prospective data will be supplemented by a national data pull in collaboration with the Defense Health Agency and the Uniformed Services University Center for Rehabilitation Sciences Research. Pulled data will include a national deidentified dataset of electronic health record data for all individuals treated in the military health system who had access to a Behavioral Health Consultant for the treatment under study in this trial.
