What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether doctors can safely perform ultrasound-guided pain procedures, like nerve blocks, at home for patients with chronic or cancer pain. It includes 100 adults already receiving home hospital care. The goal is to see if this approach reduces pain, cuts down on opioid use, and improves quality of life without needing a hospital visit.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
ultrasound-guided pain procedures (nerve blocks, infiltrations)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new way to manage severe pain at home, reducing the need for hospital trips and high-dose opioids.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study (100 participants) testing feasibility. It may not prove effectiveness or be widely applicable, and procedures carry risks like infection or bleeding.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Adult patients admitted to the Home Hospitalization Unit (HHU) of the Manises Health Department who present with acute, chronic, oncologic, or complex pain requiring assessment for interventional pain management at home. The study population includes individuals with adequate clinical stability to undergo minimally invasive procedures in the domiciliary setting, as evaluated by a UDOPAL-trained physician. Patients may present a wide range of pain etiologies, functional limitations, or palliative needs commonly managed during home hospitalization.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients (≥18 years old) admitted to the Home Hospitalization Unit (UHD) of the Manises Health Department. * Presence of active pain, classified as mild, moderate, or severe. * Clinical assessment indicating suitability for interventional pain management, as determined by a UDOPAL-trained physician. * Physical and clinical conditions that allow the performance of interventional procedures at home under standardized safety precautions. * Signed informed consent obtained from the patient and/or a legally authorized representative in cases of incapacity. Exclusion Criteria: * Very limited life expectancy (estimated survival \<72 hours) or terminal/agonal condition. * Contraindication to interventional pain procedures, including: 1. Uncorrectable coagulopathy. 2. Systemic infection or local infection at the puncture site. 3. Documented allergy to any of the planned medications. 4. Tumor located in the infiltration area. 5. Pregnancy or breastfeeding. * Altered level of consciousness or severe cognitive impairment without a responsible family member or without the possibility of obtaining valid informed consent. * Home environment conditions that do not ensure minimal hygiene, safety, or logistical support (e.g., inadequate lighting, lack of privacy, insufficient family assistance, or limited access for the medical team). * Explicit refusal by the patient and/or family to undergo interventional pain procedures. * Refusal to participate in the study.
