We are doing this study to find the best way to manage pain during a procedure called urethral bulking. This procedure treats urine leakage that happens with coughing, laughing, sneezing, or physical activity. It works by injecting a gel-like substance around the urethra (the tube that urine comes out of) to help it stay closed when it should. We use a numbing gel (called lidocaine jelly) inside the urethra to help with pain during the procedure. In this study, we will also be administering lidocaine (numbing medication) injected around the urethra or a saline placebo (medical grade saltwater) injection, which has no numbing effect. A placebo is something that looks like a real treatment but doesn't have any medical effect. Both the lidocaine and the saline would be injected around the urethra using a small needle, and we'll compare how well they work at reducing pain.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether taking oral tranexamic acid (TXA) for one week after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction improves recovery in adolescents and young adults aged 14 to 25 years. All participants receive standard intravenous TXA during surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does oral TXA lower knee pain at 2 weeks after surgery? * Does oral TXA reduce the amount of opioid pain medicine used in the first 2 weeks? * Does oral TXA improve knee range of motion at 2 weeks? Researchers will compare oral TXA to a placebo (a look-alike capsule with no active drug) to see if oral TXA improves pain, opioid use, motion, strength, knee function, and return to sport. Participants will: * Take 3 capsules (oral TXA or placebo) once a day for the first 8 days after surgery (day of surgery through day 7) * Keep a home diary for 2 weeks recording pain scores, opioid pills taken and any side effects * Return for study visits at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, 9 months and 1 year for pain, motion, strength and function testing * Complete a survey at 2 years

This Phase 2 study will evaluate whether multiple doses of cebranopadol suppress opioid withdrawal signs and symptoms compared with placebo in adults with chronic pain who are physically dependent on prescribed opioids. Participants whose physical dependence is confirmed will be assigned by chance to one of two cebranopadol dose regimens or matching placebo. The study will also evaluate pain, safety and tolerability, and cebranopadol pharmacokinetics.

Total knee replacements are among the most common and painful orthopedic procedures performed worldwide, often requiring intensive analgesia to support early ambulation and recovery. Despite widespread use of multimodal regimens, many patients still rely on opioids, which can cause sedation, nausea, constipation, and long-term dependency. Evaluating suzetrigine in this high-need population may improve recovery trajectories, reduce opioid consumption, and support enhanced recovery protocols. Given the growing surgical volume and the emphasis on opioid-sparing strategies, rigorous investigation of suzetrigine's efficacy in total knee replacement is of high clinical value. In this confirmatory (phase III) trial, patients undergoing primary total knee replacement will be randomized to receive either suzetrigine or placebo for 2 weeks (14 days), with the loading dose administered prior to surgery. The primary outcome is cumulative 48-hour opioid consumption in oral morphine equivalents starting from entry into the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU).

This is a Stage 1 study of a behavioral intervention, which means that a new intervention is being pilot tested to understand whether it is acceptable and feasible for people with advanced cancer to use. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a series of 3 10-minute videos may help improve prescription opioid pain management and opioid stigma for people living with advanced cancer. Approximately 45 participants will take part in this study at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. People who choose to participate in this study will complete a series of baseline questionnaires, and then will be randomized to one of two groups: 1) the group that gets the video intervention, or 2) the group that gets a written handout with information about cancer pain. About 4 weeks later, all participants will also be asked to fill out another series of questionnaires.

The E-MOHS Trial is a randomized controlled trial evaluating whether active vibration plus transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation reduces pain during local anesthetic infiltration in adults undergoing Mohs micrographic surgery or dermatologic excision. Participants will be randomized to active vibration:TENS or sham TENS during the first local anesthetic administration. The primary outcome is patient-reported infiltration pain during active local anesthetic infiltration, measured using the 11-point Numeric Rating Scale. Secondary outcomes include infiltration pain measured using a Visual Analog Scale, perioperative anxiety, participant satisfaction, willingness to reuse the device, operator-rated ease of use and sterile-field compatibility, blinding integrity, and adverse events.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of cebranopadol in treating acute pain.

The goal of this clinical trial is to understand whether changes in brain activity, measured using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), are related to how well patients with knee osteoarthritis respond to genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation (GNRFA). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Are baseline brain activation patterns measured using fNIRS associated with clinically meaningful treatment responses to GNRFA? 2. What changes in brain activation patterns do we see overtime after GNRFA in those who are responders to treatments, vs. those who are non-responders? Participants will: * Receive a diagnostic genicular nerve (GN) block * Receive a GNRFA if they experience at least 50% pain relief from the GN block * Come to the clinic as baseline, approximately one week later, and then 3-months after that for assessment * Fill out questionnaires once every 3-months for up to 12-months

This study aims to evaluate the impact of a Transitional Pain Service (TPS) on hospital readmission rates, opioid consumption, and chronic post-surgical pain(CPSP), Despite increasing recognition of the benefits of integrated transitional pain care, there are limited prospective data evaluating its impact on 30-day readmissions, longitudinal opioid use, and CPSP. This protocol will systematically collect prospective patient data to assess these outcomes.

This project will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of Empowered Relief (ER) among American Indian adults who are currently receiving or have completed active cancer treatments at Stephenson Cancer Center (SCC). ER is a single-session, Zoom-based, 2-hour, skills-based pain management class delivered by certified instructors. Participants learn three core pain relief skills, develop a personalized plan, and receive access to a free binaural audio app for daily practice. ER has demonstrated moderate efficacy in individuals with chronic non-cancer pain, reducing pain intensity, pain interference, pain-related distress (pain catastrophizing), sleep disturbance, and anxiety at 3 and 6 months post-treatment. Because of its brief, didactic nature and Zoom delivery, ER can accommodate large class sizes and may address accessibility disparities among underserved cancer populations. While ER is being studied across various non-cancer populations and has been adopted as standard of care in leading healthcare institutions in the U.S. and abroad, it has not been tested in American Indians with cancer.

The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to explore whether lavender sandalwood aromatherapy can support comfort, mood, pain relief, and overall satisfaction for participants recovering from a scheduled cesarean section without complications. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * How does lavender sandalwood aromatherapy affect participants' mood during postpartum recovery after a cesarean section? * Does lavender sandalwood aromatherapy help reduce pain during recovery? * Does lavender sandalwood aromatherapy improve participants' overall satisfaction with their recovery experience? Researchers will compare participants who receive lavender-sandalwood aromatherapy with those who do not to determine whether it improves mood, reduces pain, and enhances patient satisfaction. Participants will be asked to: * Wear aromatherapy tabs on their gown for 24 hours. * Have the aromatherapy tabs applied 24 hours after the cesarean section and removed 48 hours after the cesarean section. * Complete surveys at 24 hours and 48 hours after the cesarean section. This will apply to both the control and intervention groups.

This study is testing whether oxytocin can help lessen pain by changing how people process emotions and social experiences. The goal is to better understand how the brain links emotions, relationships, and pain, and whether this connection can be used to improve pain treatment.
