Pain Paid Clinical Trials in Wisconsin

The purpose of this research is to determine if a PET/MRI scan using FDG can accurately identify the source of chronic pain. Identifying the source of pain may help doctors treat chronic pain more effectively. Approximately 128 participants will be enrolled and can expect to be on study for up to 12 months. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a brief health coaching intervention based on an approach known as brief action planning + Fitbit can increase physical activity in employees with chronic knee symptoms who work for Advocate Aurora Health. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will a greater proportion of people in the health coaching intervention increase physical activity to at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week than a group of people with an attention-control intervention (Fitbit+health education coaching)? * Can we predict who will not increase physical activity levels to at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week by the end of the study (3 and 6 months) based upon Fitbit data captured over the first four weeks? Researchers will compare a health education coaching intervention + Fitbit to see if providing a Fitbit + attention control will increase physical activity to at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week among members of the attention-control group. Participants will engage in * Online study orientation and question and answer session * Three assessment sessions (baseline, 3 months, 6 months) * A 12 week intervention with no less than four (4) and no more than twelve (12) health coaching sessions. Physical activity health coaching will make action plans for health coaching. Health education coaching will focus on educating participants on non-physical activity factors related to a comprehensive management of chronic knee symptoms, such as managing fatigue, sleep hygiene, mindfulness, etc. Read Less

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare patient-reported pain and oral health-related quality of life during the first postoperative week following extraction and bone graft surgery in patients who received preemptive ibuprofen versus placebo. Participants will receive ibuprofen 600mg or placebo by mouth with water 1 hour prior to extraction and bone graft surgery. The primary question it aims to answer is: • Does preemptive ibuprofen have an effect on postoperative pain 1 hour following extraction and bone graft surgery compared to placebo? Secondary questions are: * Does preemptive ibuprofen have an effect on pain during the first 3 postoperative hours and 7 postoperative days following extraction and bone graft surgery compared to placebo? * Does preemptive ibuprofen have an effect on oral health-related quality of life during the 7 postoperative days following extraction and bone graft surgery compared to placebo?
