Clinical Trials
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of selective pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing as determined by Urine Drug Testing (UDT) adds a clinical benefit as evidenced by ...
Few studies have used quantitative sensory tests to study the effect of chronic opioid treatment on sensation. The investigators will test chronic pain patients who are on different MEDDs,...
Pilot Testing of a Behavioral Intervention for Chronic Pain in Individuals With HIV
Due to its specific pathophysiology and impact on health outcomes, the Institute of Medicine has described chronic pain as a complex chronic disease and a "national public health crisis." ...
Brain Response to Pain Control in People With Chronic Pain
Background: - Researchers want to look at how the brain responds to painful stimulations. They also want to see if these responses are different in people with and without chronic pain. T...
QST Study: Predicting Treatment Response in Chronic Pancreatitis Using Quantitative Sensory Testing
Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) is a novel investigative technique used in other pain conditions to evaluate patterns of chronic pain, and in this study will be used to elucidate pain p...

Urine drug testing (UDT) is recommended for patients who are prescribed opioid medications, but little is known about the various strategies clinicians use to respond to aberrant UDT results. We sough...
Can synthetic urine replace authentic urine to "beat" workplace drug testing?
Synthetic urine (SU), which was primarily utilized by drug testing laboratories as matrix for quality control preparations, are now commercially sold and can be used to "fool" a positive drug test. To...
Identifying Levorphanol Ingestion Using Urine Biomarkers in Health Care Patients.
Levorphanol is a long-acting opioid analgesic that is an optical isomer of dextrorphan, a metabolite of the over-the-counter cough suppressant dextromethorphan. Providers prescribing levorphanol for p...
In adults treated with opioids for chronic pain, point-of-care urine drug screens (immunoassays) for detecting opioids show a false-negative rate of 1.9%, a sensitivity of 92%, and a specificity of 93...
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in men is rarely considered to have a neurogenic (neuropathic) basis. Separation of neurogenic from non-neurogenic pain is possible using clinical examination and neurophysio...
Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Drug Approval
Process that is gone through in order for a drug to receive approval by a government regulatory agency. This includes any required pre-clinical or clinical testing, review, submission, and evaluation of the applications and test results, and post-marketing surveillance of the drug.
Pharmacogenomic Testing
The detection of genetic variability (e.g., PHARMACOGENOMIC VARIANTS) relevant to PHARMACOGENETICS and PRECISION MEDICINE. The purpose of such genetic testing is to help determine the most effective treatment options and their optimum dosages with least potential risks for DRUG-RELATED SIDE EFFECTS AND ADVERSE REACTIONS.
Low Back Pain
Acute or chronic pain in the lumbar or sacral regions, which may be associated with musculo-ligamentous SPRAINS AND STRAINS; INTERVERTEBRAL DISK DISPLACEMENT; and other conditions.
Pain Clinics
Facilities providing diagnostic, therapeutic, and palliative services for patients with severe chronic pain. These may be free-standing clinics or hospital-based and serve ambulatory or inpatient populations. The approach is usually multidisciplinary. These clinics are often referred to as "acute pain services". (From Br Med Bull 1991 Jul;47(3):762-85)
Chronic Pain
Aching sensation that persists for more than a few months. It may or may not be associated with trauma or disease, and may persist after the initial injury has healed. Its localization, character, and timing are more vague than with acute pain.
