Refractory CRPS pain treated with psilocybin: A case report.

Psilocybin shows promise as a treatment for CRPS, offering significant pain relief and functional improvement in a patient with refractory symptoms. This case highlights the need for further research into psilocybin's efficacy and optimal dosing for chronic pain management.

Successful Treatment of Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor-related Pain with Perineural Steroid Injection: a case report.

Pain associated with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) is poorly understood. To date, no treatment options have been approved for NF1-related pain. We present the case of a young female NF1 patient with intermittent buttock pain radiating down the leg who presented with positive dural tension signs.

Psilocybin and chronic neuropathic pain: a systematic review.

Background/importance: Chronic pain affects many people globally, requiring alternative management strategies. Psilocybin is gaining attention for its potential in chronic pain management despite being classified as Schedule I.

Objective: This systematic review critically evaluates the evidence for psilocybin, a Schedule I substance, in the treatment of chronic pain.

Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) of the phrenic nerve for intractable hiccups: a novel use case report.

Background: Intractable hiccups, defined as those persisting for over 1 month, represent a rare but significant clinical challenge often associated with substantial morbidity and refractory to standard treatments.

Case Presentation: This case report describes the innovative use of phrenic nerve peripheral neuromodulation for managing chronic intractable hiccups in a 73-year-old male patient with a 6-year history of daily hiccups. Conventional treatments and interventional procedures had failed to provide lasting relief.

Long-COVID symptoms improved after MDMA and psilocybin therapy: A case report.

Key Clinical Message: Long-COVID syndrome lacks effective holistic treatment options. We present a case of a 41-year-old fully vaccinated female with Long-COVID syndrome who obtained significant symptomatic relief after self-medicating with psilocybin and MDMA.

Abstract: Long-COVID, a syndrome persisting after the acute phase of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), lacks effective holistic treatment options.

Implementing Remote Patient Monitoring of Physical Activity in Clinical Practice.

Purpose: Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a tool for patients to share data collected outside of office visits. RPM uses technology and the digital transmission of data to inform clinician decision-making in patient care. Using RPM to track routine physical activity is feasible to operationalize, given contemporary consumer-grade devices that can sync to the electronic health record.

Age and Gender Confound PROMIS Scores in Spine Patients With Back and Neck Pain.

Study Design: This was a single-center retrospective review.

Objectives: To explore how age and gender affect PROMIS scores compared with traditional health-related quality of life (HRQL) in spine patients.

Methods: Patients presenting with a primary complaint of back pain (BP) or neck pain (NP) were included.

PROMIS is superior to established outcome measures in capturing disability resulting from sagittal malalignment in patients with back pain.

Introduction: Patient reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS) is a quality of life metric that has gained increased popularity due to computer adaptive testing. Previous studies have shown that PROMIS correlates with Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) in patients with back pain and takes significantly less time to complete. However, the ability of PROMIS to capture disability from spinal malalignment relative to established metrics is unknown.

Creating value in spine surgery: using patient reported outcomes to compare the short-term impact of different orthopedic surgical procedures.

Background Context: Society increasingly asks Medicine to create "value" for patients. As health-care costs rise, this question will become more important. Debate exists regarding the relative "value" of many surgical procedures, including spinal surgery.

PROMIS Correlates With Legacy Outcome Measures in Patients With Neck Pain and Improves Upon NDI When Assessing Disability in Cervical Deformity.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Objective: To evaluate the ability of patient reported outcome measurement information system (PROMIS) assessments to capture disability related to cervical sagittal alignment and secondarily to compare these findings to legacy outcome measures.

Summary Of Background Data: PROMIS is a validated patient-reported outcome metric that is increasing in popularity due to its speed of administration relative to legacy metrics.

Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System instruments: outperforming traditional quality of life measures in patients with back and neck pain.

Objective: The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) has become increasingly popular due to computer adaptive testing methodology. This study aims to validate the association between PROMIS and legacy outcome metrics and compare PROMIS to legacy metrics in terms of ceiling and floor effects and questionnaire burden.

Methods: A retrospective review of an outcomes database was performed at a single institution from December 2016 to April 2017.

Comparison of Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System With Neck Disability Index and Visual Analog Scale in Patients With Neck Pain.

Study Design: A retrospective analysis of a patient-reported outcomes database from a single institution from December 2016 to April 2017.

Objective: To validate the association of Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) with Neck Disability Index (NDI) in patients with neck pain and examine each instruments ability to capture concomitant arm pain and concomitant back pain.

Summary Of Background Data: PROMIS has been increasingly utilized and its computer adapted testing methodology improves assessment of pain and disability.
