Pain Injection Versus Epidural Anesthesia for Hip Surgery in Pediatric Patients With Cerebral Palsy
Pain management in pediatric patients presents a difficult challenge. Unlike adults, pediatric patients often cannot communicate their pain management needs clearly. This is especially true in patients with cerebral palsy (CP), who often have concomitant developmental delay, intellectual disability and verbal limitations. Current literature indicates pain as a common experience for children with CP but has been understudied in this population. Moreover, inadequate post-operative pain control can result in negative physiologic and psychological complications and lead to poor surgical outcomes. Currently, perioperative pain management following orthopaedic procedures in...

Pain Processing in Inflammatory and Non-Inflammatory Chronic Pain Syndromes
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic musculoskeletal pain disorder that afflicts up to 4% of the general population. The evaluation of pain mechanisms in FM has shown predominant central abnormalities and therefore has been designated as nociplastic pain syndrome. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by polyarthritis and pain from inflamed tissues, consistent with nociceptive pain. FM and RA patients may utilize overlapping pain mechanisms resulting in nociceptive and nociplastic pain.

Pain Relief for OsteoArthritis Through Combined Treatment (PROACT)
This mechanistic clinical trial proposes to test whether a five-day course of mindfulness meditation training (MMT) and tDCS, and their combination, can enhance pain modulatory balance and pain-related brain function, reduce clinical pain, among African Americans and non-Hispanic whites with knee osteoarthritis (OA). This approach will provide evidence that targeting stress and pain-related brain function will reduce OA-related pain and ethnic group differences therein.
