Official title Development and Evaluation of Computerized Chemosensory-Based Orbitofrontal Networks Training for Treatment of Pain (CBOT-P)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06671132
What this study is testing
What is Computerized Chemosensory-Based Orbitofrontal Cortex Training for Pain?
Computerized Chemosensory-Based Orbitofrontal Cortex Training for Pain is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily, being studied as a potential treatment for chronic pain.
Also referred to as CBOT-P, CBOT device with BCP.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The overarching goal of this study phase, Phase II component is to perform a randomized clinical trial of the refined Computerized Chemosensory-Based Orbitofrontal Networks Training for Treatment of Pain [CBOT-Pain (or CBOT-P)] from Phase I, compared to sham Computerized Chemosensory-Based Orbitofrontal Networks Training (CBOT) in Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) to determine its short- and long-term effectiveness on Pain, Negative Affect (NA), Cognition and Cortical Brain Structure (PACS), long-term safety, and indications. The investigators will perform a randomized clinical trial of the refined CBOT-P from Phase I, compared to sham CBOT in CLBP.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
