Pump refill for pain: at home vs hospital

This trial compares a treatment that delivers pain medicine directly to the spinal cord (intrathecal therapy) with usual pain control. It is for people with severe cancer pain that is not helped by oral or intravenous opioids.

This trial tests if a single, all-in-one procedure works as well as the usual two-step process (screening at home first) for people with long-term nerve pain. It looks at how well pain is controlled and whether the simpler approach saves money.

This study tests whether giving pain-relieving procedures (like injections or nerve blocks) at home helps control pain for people already being cared for by a hospital home-care team. It's designed for patients who have ongoing pain and could benefit from a more hands-on approach without needing to go to a hospital.

This trial tests a pain pump after specific shoulder or knee surgeries to see how well it controls pain. It may help you recover more comfortably after surgery.

This study compares two treatments for long-term back pain after surgery: a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to your spine) and a pump that delivers pain medicine directly to your spinal fluid. It will look at which treatment you prefer and how well it works over time.

This trial compares two techniques for placing a continuous pain pump (catheter) near the knee after total knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see which technique keeps the pump in place better. If you are having knee replacement surgery and can understand English, you may be able to join.
