      PREP-Y for Chronic Pain

      Columbus, Ohio
      The purpose of this research study is to test a new program called Pain REsilience Promotion for Youth (PREP-Y). This program is designed to help adolescents with chronic musculoskeletal pain (pain in muscles, bones, or joints that lasts more than 3 months) become more physically active and better able to manage their pain. The program includes four weekly virtual sessions that teach skills related to resilience, such as how to stay motivated, build confidence, and cope with pain. Participants will complete surveys and physical activity tests before and after the program. Participants will also wear physical activity monitors to track their activity levels. The goal of this study is to learn whether the program is practical, helpful, and acceptable to participants, and to prepare for a future larger study.

      Two-Point Discrimination Training for Chronic Pain

      Cincinnati, Ohio
      SPECIFIC AIMS Pain in both youth and adults is a complex, subjective and personal experience, and remains poorly understood. One particularly perplexing dimension of some forms of pain is the tendency of pain to spread outside of an affected body site to adjacent location, and then to unaffected body sites. Such widespread pain may reflect an altered spatial tuning of somatosensory processing, such that lateral inhibition is diminished, thereby allowing pain to spread. To date, no therapies exist which are designed specifically to diminish or even reverse the spatial spread of pain. However, training in two-point discrimination holds the potential to retune spatial aspects of somatosensory processing and may represent a novel therapy for widespread pain. Thus, the present investigation will test the following aims: Aim 1. Do youth with chronic pain have disrupted spatial tuning of somatosensory processing? Deficits in two point tactile discrimination have long been noted in adults with chronic pain, but such deficits remain poorly documented in pediatric chronic pain patients. In order to determine if such deficits exist, youth with both chronic pain and healthy youth will undergo assessment of two point discrimination thresholds. Aim 2. Does two-point discrimination training result in diminished pain and disability in youth with somatic pain? After initial characterization of tactile discrimination thresholds, youth with chronic pain will participate in multiple sessions of either two-point discrimination training or a single-point spatially-directed attentional control condition. Training will involve up to 9 additional sessions. Efficacy of training will be assessed by 1) reductions in the spatial extent of pain, 2) reductions in pain intensity and unpleasantness, and 3) reductions in pain-related disability.

      Dietary Supplements for Chronic Pain

      Newport, Kentucky
      The goal of this study is to use pain-specific urine biomarkers to evaluate how daily nutritional supplementation with biomarker guided formulas effect, quality of life and urinary biomarker scores in chronic pain patients. Assessing the effect of biomarker guided supplementation on pain specific biomarkers through changes in urinary biomarker scores may solidify the necessity for identifying deficiencies to create an individualized treatment plan for pain patients. This study aims to evaluate the effect of biomarker-guided supplementation on the three categories of urinary biomarkers using targeted ingredients specifically designed for oxidative stress, inflammation, and nerve health. This study provides subjects with one of three nutritional supplement formulas based on their specific urinary biomarker test results and assesses changes in their urinary biomarker levels and their quality of life as it relates to their pain over a 3-month period.

      "I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

      "I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

      4PCP Training for Chronic Pain

      Cleveland, Ohio
      Reducing opioid prescribing and improving outcomes in patients with chronic pain would benefit our nation. Neither addiction nor chronic pain spares any race, gender, or particular socio-economic status. This study is investigating a potentially inexpensive way of providing a previously costly service (the intensive chronic pain rehabilitation program), which is why insurers stopped covering it. Although it is unusual for an application from an academic institution to include a startup company (PainSTakers, LLC) as the curriculum provider, this is actually a long-term strength of this program, and the reason NIH recommended this route. It ensures that 4PCP will ultimately sustain itself rather than require government support for its continuation. Support for this application is not to provide the curriculum, but to determine if it is effective in the outcomes expected to be found. The curriculum is being provided freely only as an incentive for practitioners to participate in the research portion of the study. If the study is able to demonstrate its clinical effectiveness, the next step will be to show a positive economic impact for health care institutions and for health insurers who may then wish to support the program for their practitioners and their patients.

      Exercise + Psychotherapy for Opioid Use Disorder and Pain

      Cleveland, Ohio
      The purpose of this pilot trial is to determine the feasibility of integrating exercise and psychotherapy that is specifically targeted to reducing and managing pain into residential drug treatment programs. The investigators will evaluate the feasibility (adherence) of integrating 'assisted' rate cycling, voluntary rate cycling and psychotherapy for pain (I-STOP) in participants with an opioid use disorder (OUD) and pain enrolled in residential drug treatment programs. The investigators will also explore the potential effects of 'assisted' rate cycling, voluntary rate cycling and I-STOP on pain, cravings, depression, anxiety, weight and sleep.

      Spinal Cord Stimulation vs Pain Pump for Chronic Back Pain

      Cleveland, Ohio
      Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) or intrathecal drug delivery (pain pump) can be effective in providing pain relief for patients with low back pain who have not responded to other treatments. While both treatments, SCS and pain pump, may help with low back pain relief, it is not known which treatment may work better for patients. SCS and pain pumps involve an implanted device in the body. In this study, we are asking patients to undergo a trial of both treatment modalities, SCS and pain pump, as screening tests prior to considering an implant. A total of 36 patients will be enrolled in this study. After both trials are completed, participants will be seen in the office and asked which treatment modality they believe has been more effective for relieving pain during the trial periods by completing questionnaires. If neither treatment was effective in improving baseline pain by at least 50%, participants would not qualify for either implant whether or not they are part of this study. Direct study participation would end here. If either or both treatment modalities improved baseline pain by at least 50%, participants will be asked to choose the treatment that worked better: SCS or pain pump. Participants will then have the option to proceed to the permanent implant of choice: SCS or pain pump. Direct study participation would end here but participants will then be followed in the doctor's office after implant as is customary for usual clinical care. The study data collection will conclude when the screening tests are completed.

      Ketamine for Pelvic Pain

      Cleveland, Ohio
      The purpose of this research study is to see if ketamine infusion during surgery can decrease pain after surgery. Ketamine is a medication commonly used as part of anesthesia during surgery and is approved by the US FDA. Patients will be randomized to either receive standard anesthesia with OR without ketamine. The surgical procedure will be the same regardless of which group patients are randomized to. After surgery, patients will be asked to rate their pain in the post-operative observation unit and at their two-week post-operative visit. No additional visits are required for participation in this study. The investigators estimate the surveys will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How much do Chronic 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 Chronic 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 Chronic 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 Chronic 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 Chronic 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 Chronic Pain clinical trials?

      Most recently, we added Yoga + Neuromodulation for Chronic Low Back Pain, Morphine or Ketamine for Pain and Ketamine for Pelvic Pain to the Power online platform.
