      Virtual Reality for Musculoskeletal Pain

      Brooklyn, New York
      The proposed Virtual Reality as an Adjunct to Pain Management for Geriatric Patients in the ED (VRAP-ED) project will take place in the Emergency Medicine Department at Maimonides Medical Center. It seeks to enhance the analgesic practices for geriatric patients with acute painful conditions in the emergency setting. Although virtual reality (VR) has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing pain and anxiety in various clinical settings for juveniles and adults, the analgesic efficacy of VR for geriatric ED patients lacks established data. The project will use a geriatric-focused VR platform. The project intends to improve pain management for almost 200 geriatric patients by evaluating the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) in reducing pain and its impact on anxiety \& stress reduction. The research project will conduct a randomized clinical trial to investigate the analgesic efficacy and impact on anxiety \& stress by using VR as an adjunct to the standard of care (SOC) for pain management in elderly patients presenting to the ED with acute musculoskeletal pain. This will be investigated through a prospective, randomized, non-blinded clinical trial conducted over two years. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to either the control (SOC) or intervention (SOC+VR) groups. The expected outcomes of this research study will provide insight into the feasibility of using VR in a busy emergency setting for one of the most commonly encountered painful syndromes and to assess the analgesic efficacy as well as the satisfaction of VR application by both patients and ED clinicians.

      Liposomal Bupivacaine for Post-Cesarean Pain

      New Haven, Connecticut
      The TAP block offers analgesia by blocking the sensory nerves of the anterior abdominal wall. The procedure is performed under ultrasound guidance, after identification of the external oblique, internal oblique and transverse abdominis muscle. Medication is injected in the neurofascial plane between the internal oblique and the tranversus abdominis muscle. Previous studies have demonstrated limited (\<24 hour) effect of the block when compared to the use of intrathecal morphine (considered to be the "gold standard" for postoperative analgesia). In a study by McMarrow et al., post-caesarian pain control combinations including TAP blocks with local anesthetic (Bupivacaine) or saline after a spinal anesthetic with or without intrathecal morphine were compared. At 6 hours the Morphine consumption was slightly reduced in the patients that received both intrathecal morphine and TAP blocks with LA when compared to patients that received spinal saline and TAP with saline. At 24 hours the TAP block conferred no benefit in terms of opioid consumption. Similarly, the study by Lee et al. demonstrated better pain scores for the first 2 hours in patients receiving both intrathecal morphine and a TAP block with ropivacaine. At 24 hours there was no difference in the pain scores for patients that received both intrathecal morphine and TAP blocks. On the contrary, a more recent study utilizing liposomal bupivacaine has been utilized for TAP blocks for post cesarean delivery analgesia, demonstrating opioid reductions for up to 72 hours. Liposomal bupivacaine is a novel, multivesicular formulation designed for rapid absorption, prolonged release of bupivacaine, and analgesia following a single intra-operative administration into the surgical wound or for TAP blocks. Current anesthesia practices encourage the use of multimodal analgesia that aim at enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). The ERAS model aims to decrease immobility, pain and post-operative ileus. Pain and immobility may be closely related, and the latter has rarely been monitored in the post-operative setting. It is planned to use a research validated fit-bit like device (Actigraph GT3-X) to monitor patient steps (mobility).

      Vitamin C for Musculoskeletal Pain

      Montréal, Quebec
      Recent evidence has shown that vitamin C has some analgesic properties and can therefore reduce opioids used during healing. Vitamin C analgesic effect has been explored mostly during the short-term postoperative context or in disease specific chronic pain prevention but not after acute musculoskeletal injuries, which are often seen in the emergency department (ED). The study's primary aim is to compare the total morphine 5 mg equivalent pills consumed during a two-week follow-up between patients receiving vitamin C or a placebo after ED discharge for an acute musculoskeletal pain complaint. The investigators will conduct a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial with 464 participants distributed in two arms, one group receiving 1 000 mg of vitamin C twice a day for 14 days and another one receiving a placebo. Participants will be ≥18 years of age, treated in ED for acute musculoskeletal pain present for less than 2 weeks, and discharged with an opioid prescription for home pain management. Total morphine 5 mg equivalent pills consumed during the two-week follow-up will be assessed via an electronic (or paper) diary. In addition, patients will report their daily pain intensity, pain relief, side effects, and other types of pain medication or other non-pharmacological approach (ice, heat, immobilization, etc.) used. Three months after the injury, participants will also be contacted to evaluate chronic pain development. The investigators hypothesized that vitamin C, compared to a placebo, will reduce opioid consumption during a 14-day follow-up for ED discharged patients treated for acute pain.

      Vitamin C for Acute Pain

      Montreal, Quebec
      Non-opioid treatments are increasingly sought after for managing acute pain. Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) (e.g., Advil, Motrin, Naproxen) combined with acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) have become an alternative for relieving acute pain. However, many patients cannot tolerate or have contraindications to NSAIDs and acetaminophen. There is therefore an urgent need for studies evaluating the analgesic effects of vitamin C in the context of acute pain. Our study is conducted with healthy volunteer participants receiving either vitamin C or a placebo to assess the analgesic effect of vitamin C by comparing pain detection and tolerance thresholds.

      Vitamin C for Acute Pain

      Montreal, Quebec
      Emergency department (ED) clinicians often prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to manage acute musculoskeletal (MSK) pain (e.g.: fracture, sprain, back pain). However, even short-term NSAIDs use can have significant gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, MSK and renal adverse effects. For this reason, some patients cannot take or tolerate NSAIDs. Recent evidence has shown that vitamin C has some analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties particularly in postoperative context and prevent specific types of chronic pain. Furthermore, vitamin C is safe and associated with very few adverse events. The primary objective of this study is to determine whether vitamin C can reduce pain intensity during a seven-day period following an ED visit for acute MSK pain. The investigators propose to compare two groups of patients, one receiving 900 mg of vitamin C to another receiving a placebo, twice a day for seven days. Both groups will consume acetaminophen slow release 650 mg two pills every eight hours regularly. Naproxen 500 mg (NSAID) will be used as a rescue medication if the patient's pain is not relieved. Participants will be ≥18 years of age, treated in ED for acute MSK pain present for less than 48 hours with pain intensity at triage of ≥ 4 on a 0-10 numeric rating scale, and discharged by an ED clinician with an NSAIDs prescription without opioids. The level of pain intensity during a seven-day period will be assessed daily using an electronic or paper diary, as well as pain relief, pain medication consumption, and adverse events. Three months after the injury, participants will also be contacted to assess the presence of chronic pain. The investigators hypothesized that vitamin C will reduce pain intensity and chronic pain development at three months. This research could provide a safe alternative to patients who are unable to take NSAIDs. It may also contribute to the reduction of the burden associated with chronic pain development.

      Dexmedetomidine for Pain Relief

      Montreal, Quebec
      This study will compare three different doses of perineural dexmedetomidine 0.67 mcg/kg, 1 mcg/kg, and 1.33 mcg/kg as adjuvants to local anesthetics for ultrasound-guided infraclavicular brachial plexus blocks (ICBs). Our research hypothesis is that 1.33 mcg/kg will provide a 15%-longer duration than 1mcg/kg, which in turn will provide a 15%-longer duration than 0.67 mcg/kg. Since analgesic duration and sensory duration can be influenced by intake of pain medications and surgical trauma to small cutaneous nerves, respectively, we will select motor block duration as the main outcome to better target the action of dexmedetomidine on the brachial plexus.

      Epidural Pain Management for Postoperative Pain

      Montreal, Quebec
      Pain control after surgery is a crucial component of postoperative recovery. Thus, in open abdominal surgery, the use of TEA (Thoracic epidural analgesia) has become a gold standard. However, analgesia may still remain a challenge, especially in patients with large incision abdominal incisions. To address this problem, the use of the PIEB (Programmed intermittent epidural bolus) mode has been proposed, because it offers a better spread of the epidural medication. Only a few studies have evaluated the superiority of this PIEB mode in open abdominal surgery, yielding conflicting results. However, PIEB showed to be at least as effective in controlling pain as CEI, and clinical experience shows that it can be a valuable tool, especially in patients with a large laparotomy incision. However, the optimal dosage of the PIEB mode has never been determined, Furthermore, it is known whether men and women have the same dosage needs to achieve adequate analgesia since most studies have failed to account for sex-based differences in postoperative analgesia. Hence, the main objective of this study will be to determine the optimal volume dose of the PIEB delivered at a fixed interval of 60 min in patients undergoing surgery using a large midline laparotomy incision. The optimal dose for male and female patients will be determined separately by evaluating men and women in two independent groups. We hypothesize that the optimal dose of the PIEB that will provide effective analgesia in 90% of patients on the first postoperative day will range between 5 and 10 mL, for both groups. The primary outcome in both groups is successful analgesia. It is defined as a requirement of 5 or less patient-controlled epidural boluses between 8 AM and 8 PM on the first postoperative day. Secondary outcomes will be the incidence of motor block and hypotension, comparison of the level of sensory block according to group, comparison of patient satisfaction according to group and comparison of Quality of Recovery-15 score at 48h post-op according to group.

      Speed of Tenaculum Application for Procedural Pain

      Providence, Rhode Island
      This project will be a randomized controlled trial (RCT) measuring pain perception with two different tenaculum placement techniques on the uterine cervix. A tenaculum is an instrument used to hold the cervix (the opening to the uterus or womb) in place. The trial will measure pain perception with a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) from 0 to 100 mm for two different tenaculum placement techniques, fast and slow closure on the uterine cervix. The main objective of this study is to determine if there is a difference in pain perception with fast compared to slow tenaculum placement techniques on the uterine cervix. We hypothesize that the slow technique will be perceived as less painful for subjects as measured on a 0 mm to 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Subsidiary objectives include describing overall pain levels during the procedure.

      Serratus Anterior Plane Block for Rib Fractures

      Providence, Rhode Island
      The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of the Serratus Anterior Plane Block in patients with rib fractures. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Determine if UG-SAPB results in an improved pain, incentive spirometry, and cough ability (PIC) score when compared to usual care over the first five hours. * Evaluate if UG-SAPB results in fewer opioid medications administered when compared to usual care over the first 24 hours. Participants will undergo the Serratus Anterior Plane. Researchers will compare this to usual care to see if this intervention improves pulmonary function and reduces opioid requirements for ED patients with rib fractures.

      Communication App for Post-Operative Pain Control

      Minneapolis, Minnesota
      Digital communication tools are becoming ubiquitous in healthcare, though their impact on patient/provider communication, healthcare utilization, and outcomes remains poorly established. M Health Fairview (MHFV) in collaboration with the Center for Learning Health System Sciences (CLHSS) Rapid Eval team will be evaluating one such communication application: OPY, which leverages the Epic-Care Companion functionality to remove barriers in communicating with the patient's care team. This project will evaluate the effectiveness of a digital, post-operative patient engagement tool (Epic-Care Companion made available through MyChart), OPY, which has the goal of preventing patients from becoming addicted to opioids or to suffer from opioid misuse or diversion. In the proposed pragmatic trial, standard care with education available in MyChart and the patient after visit summary will be augmented by OPY. OPY is available to patients starting the same day they go home from surgery with a new opioid prescription. OPY provides a daily interactive experience that collects patient pain and side-effect information, provides advice for pain management, and uses behavioral "nudges" to encourage timely weaning and responsible disposal of opioid medications. The primary goal of this project is to evaluate the effect of two versions of OPY on measures of opiate use relative to the standard of care in a pragmatic randomized controlled trial.

      Methadone + Ketamine for Pain Management in Liver Transplant

      Burlington, Massachusetts
      The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if using methadone and ketamine during an adult deceased donor liver transplant can help decrease pain after surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What impact does using methadone and ketamine during a deceased donor liver transplant have on pain after surgery? * Does the use of methadone and ketamine also have an impact on mental confusion (delirium) after surgery? Researchers will compare the use of methadone and ketamine to standard of care to see if the two drugs work to decrease pain and impact delirium after liver transplant. Participants will: * Receive either methadone and ketamine or standard of care during their deceased donor liver transplant. * Allow researchers to follow medical care throughout inpatient stay.

      TENS Unit for Pain Relief During IUD Insertion

      Boston, Massachusetts
      Subjects will be screened over the phone or in Tufts GYN clinic for participation in the study. If eligible and interested in participating, written informed consent (and assent if applicable) will be obtained. After informed consent/assent, the patient will be enrolled in the study. The patient will decide if they desire to use TENS unit during IUD insertion appointment and inform the study team. The clinic visit will proceed as normal, with additional study proceedings as follows. The study personnel will complete the 'Background Questionnaire' with the patient prior to IUD insertion. During the IUD insertion appointment, study personnel will assist in collection of the 'Study visit' data collection form. This includes recording the patient's pain score at various time points throughout the insertion procedure: * anticipated pain during IUD insertion * baseline pain prior to insertion * speculum insertion * tenaculum placement * paracervical block administration (if performed) * cervical dilation (if performed) * uterine sounding * IUD insertion * 5 minutes after IUD insertion Study personnel will also time the insertion procedure and collect additional data as outlined in the 'Study visit data collection form.' After IUD insertion, the participant will be asked to complete the 'Post-IUD Insertion Survey.' Once this survey is complete, this will conclude the study participation. Participation will last through the study visit only. As part of the standard of care, a urine pregnancy test will be obtained and confirmed negative prior to IUD insertion. Patients will receive routine pain management modalities per shared decision-making with their clinical provider which may include NSAID administration, paracervical block, and heating pad.

      Combogesic IV for Acute Pain

      Orlando, Florida
      Combogesic® IV is an intravenous medicine (given by vein) containing a combination of two pain relief (analgesic) medicines called ibuprofen and acetaminophen. The goal of this clinical trial is to study the way that the body processes and clears the intravenous infusion of Combogesic® IV and that it is safe to be used in children and adolescents between the ages of 2 and \<17 years. What will the study involve for participants? * Combogesic® IV will be administered every 6 hours as necessary with a maximum of 4 doses within a 24-hour period as an intravenous infusion for about 15 minutes. * Participants will receive Combogesic® IV for a minimum of 12 hours (2 doses) up to a maximum of 5 days (20 doses). Dosing will be dependent on body weight. * If pain is not sufficiently controlled by Combogesic® IV, opioids may be used as supplementary pain relief at the discretion of the study doctor. * Have their blood samples collected before dosing and at specific times after dosing. The amount of study drug in the blood will be measured, and safety assessments (including blood and urine samples) will be done. * Rate the study drug at the end of the treatment. It is expected that Combogesic® IV will be well tolerated in children and adolescents and that the pharmacokinetics findings will be similar as compared with adults.

      Nerve Block for Postoperative Shoulder Pain

      Dallas, Texas
      Interscalene blocks are frequently performed to decrease postoperative pain after shoulder surgeries and are considered the gold standard for pain control after this type of surgery. Some patients report pain in the axilla (armpit) following shoulder replacement surgeries. Sensation in the axilla is supplied by nerves not covered by the interscalene block. Sensation in the axilla can be decreased by performing an intercostobrachial nerve block. This study aims to study whether adding an intercostobrachial nerve block to the interscalene block decreases recovery room stay time, opioid pain medication requirement, and postoperative pain scores.

      Nitrous Oxide for Burn Pain Management

      Winnipeg, Manitoba
      Improvements in burn care have resulted in increased survival. Despite these improved outcomes one of the leading challenges of burn care remains providing adequate analgesia during routine wound care and dressing changes. The traditional use of narcotics is challenging as the therapeutic window between analgesia and suppression of breathing becomes narrow with the intense pain and high doses of narcotics needed for dressing changes.

      Pain Coach App for Postoperative Pain in Joint Replacement Surgery

      Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
      The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the Pain Coach App will result in less opioids being prescribed to and used by patients undergoing Shoulder/Hip/Knee Arthroplasty surgery while maintaining the same or better pain control versus standard of care. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Will elective shoulder, hip and knee arthroplasty patients using PainCoach App be prescribed and/or use less opioids, measured by total morphine milliequivalents (MME) after surgery when compared to those treated as standard of care while maintaining similar pain control? 2. Will arthroplasty surgeons using PainCoach App write more patient-specific prescriptions resulting in a reduction in opioids prescribed after surgery with no increase in further opioids prescribed in the months following surgery? 3. Will the use of Pain Coach App lead to equal or reduced healthcare system utilization after surgery? 4. Will patients and surgeons using PainCoach App find it helpful enough to use it again and recommend to colleagues, family and friends? Researchers will compare participants assigned to use Pain Coach App vs participants assigned to standard of care arm to see if there are differences in opioid prescriptions and self reported use. Participants will either use the Pain Coach App or follow standard of care instructions and be followed forward for the opioid prescriptions dispensed in community and self-reported opioids use at study end.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How much do Acute Pain clinical trials pay?

      Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

      How do Acute Pain clinical trials work?

      After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Acute Pain trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Acute Pain is 12 months.

      How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

      Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

      What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

      The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

      Do I need to be insured to participate in a Acute Pain medical study?

      Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

      What are the newest Acute Pain clinical trials?

      Most recently, we added VR-PAT for Procedural Pain, Combogesic IV for Acute Pain and Combogesic for Postoperative Pain to the Power online platform.
