Randomized Controlled Trial
A randomized clinical trial of emotional freedom techniques for chronic pain: Live versus self-paced delivery with 6-month follow-up.
Chronic pain represents a major global healthcare crisis, and current treatments are limited in effectiveness and safety. Emotional freedom techniques (EFTs) show promise as a potential psychological treatment. ⋯ An emerging body-based intervention for chronic pain may be a possible solution for remote clients who cannot attend in-person sessions. In this clinical trial Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) significantly reduced chronic pain severity and interference, and there were no differences between and online self-paced program toan online in-person EFT intervention. Both were equally effective, also enhancing quality of life without compromising outcomes. The results were significant at 6-month follow-up/. These findings highlight a body-based approach as a promising, accessible pain management strategy, and highlights that online programs may be part of the solution for chronic pain patients.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Reduction of postoperative pain and opioid consumption by VVZ-149, first-in-class analgesic molecule: A confirmatory phase 3 trial of laparoscopic colectomy.
VVZ-149 is a small molecule that inhibits the glycine transporter type 2 and the serotonin receptor 5-hydroxytryptamine 2 A. In this Phase 3 study, we investigated the efficacy and safety of VVZ-149 as a single-use injectable analgesic for treating moderate to severe postoperative pain after laparoscopic colectomy. ⋯ Trial Number NCT05764525.

Effects of Pulsed Radiofrequency Duration in Patients With Chronic Lumbosacral Radicular Pain: A Randomized Double-Blind Study.
We hypothesized that the duration of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) application may affect the effectiveness of PRF in patients with chronic lumbosacral radicular pain (LRP). ⋯ The Clinicaltrials.gov registration number under the Clinical Trial Registry of Korea for the study is KCT0003850; https://cris.nih.go.kr.

Effects of Monochromatic Infrared Light on Painful Diabetic Polyneuropathy: Randomized Controlled Trial.
To evaluate the effect of 890 nm Monochromatic Infrared Light (MIR) associated with a physical therapy protocol on pain in individuals with diabetic Distal Symmetric Polyneuropathy. ⋯ 890 nm MIR improves Painful Diabetic Polyneuropathy patient care due to relief of neuropathic pain.

Effect of a Non-pharmacological Intervention on Vaccine-related Pain: Randomized Clinical Trial.
Acute pain during vaccine administration is an expected event; however, some strategies, such as the use of high frequency vibration devices associated with cryotherapy, may minimize it. ⋯ The use of high frequency vibration associated with cryotherapy has been shown to be a viable non-pharmacological intervention for the reduction of pain associated with influenza vaccination in adults.
