Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of 5% lidocaine medicated plaster on allodynic symptoms of localized neuropathic pain after knee surgery.
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary treatment approach combining medical management with an online Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program in reducing disability and improving quality of life among cancer survivors living with moderate to severe chronic neuropathic pain.
The primary objectives of the study are: To determine the mass balance and routes of elimination of BIIB074 and its known metabolites following administration of a single oral dose of BIIB074 in healthy male participants and To describe the pharmacokinetics (PK) of BIIB074 and its known metabolites and the disposition profiles of total radioactivity in whole blood and plasma following a single oral dose. The secondary objectives of this study are: To assess the safety and tolerability of BIIB074 in healthy participants and To identify and characterize any additional metabolites of BIIB074 in plasma, urine, and feces.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of craniofacial nerve stimulation for the treatment of neuropathic pain.
Up to now, multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) has been widely used to detect the neurovascular compressions (NVC) on the patients with idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia (ITN). However, due to lack of stereoscopic vision, this traditional method sometimes cannot meet the requirement on identifying the existence and details of NVC, especially when the aberrant vessels turn out to be delicate veins. The three-dimensional analytic techniques, such as curved planar reconstruction (CPR) and magnetic resonance virtual endoscopy (MRVE), may be helpful to improve the sensitivity and specificity on the demonstration of NVC with stereo and dynamic views, so as to assist to design the surgical plan. Furthermore, the frequent finding of NVC on MRI studies of asymptomatic patients incited the creation of several strict criteria for the imaging diagnosis of NVC: the vessel must cross perpendicular to the long axis of the nerve, the nerve must be deviated or indented at the root entry zoon (REZ) by the vessel. Alternatively, morphological measurement of the nerve may correlate with the severity of facial pain due to atrophy of the nerve in most cases of ITN, and is likely secondary to the micro-structural abnormalities, such as axonal loss, demyelination, collagen deposition, etc. In this study, cross-sectional area (CSA) and volume (V) of the cisternal trigeminal nerve will be assessed to determine whether it can be a useful biomarker for predicting the degree of ITN.
Hypothesis: ITB bolus can have antinociceptive effect on neuropathic pain in spinal cord injury patients, which could depend on the subtype of pain, or on the lesion level, cervical or thoracic spinal cord injury. Objective: To study the effect of intrathecal baclofen bolus on neuropathic pain in patients with spinal cord injury at cervico-dorsal level. Primary Endpoint: Effect of intrathecal baclofen bolus in neuropathic pain (measured using the Neuropathic Pain Inventory Scale, the Brief Pain Inventory and the Numerical Rating Scale) in spinal cord injury at cervico-dorsal level. Secondary Endpoints: 1. Spasticity and spasms (measured using the Modified Ashworth Scale and the Visual Analogue Scale and Penn Spasm Frequency Scale). 2. Neurophysiological examination (warm perception threshold, heat pain perception threshold, evoked pain perception and contact heat evoked potentials).
In Post-Herpetic Neuralgia(PHN) patients: - To conduct an explorative investigation of the efficacy and safety of repeated oral doses of TRK-700 via a randomized double blind comparative study - To measure the plasma concentration of TRK-700 and its metabolites
The primary objective of the study is to assess the effect of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 inhibition on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of BIIB074. The secondary objectives of this study are to assess the safety and tolerability of BIIB074 when co-administered with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor and to assess the effect of CYP3A4 inhibition on the PK of 3 metabolites of BIIB074 (CNV3000497 [M13], CNV2283325 [M14], and CNV2288584 [M16]).
Injections of local anesthetics (freezing) and steroids are often performed around injured nerves in individuals with nerve injury-related pain. The current standard of medical care is to inject a combination of local anesthetics and steroids around injured nerves, but there is no proof that this is better than injecting only local anesthetic, or even just sterile salt water. There is evidence to believe that injection of local anesthetic (without the steroid) can calm the injured nerve, and provide pain relief from a few days up to a few months. Injection of sterile salt water also has the potential to provide pain relief by breaking scar tissue around the nerve, thereby relieving compression. The aim of this study is to compare pain relief and possible adverse effects from these three different treatments for foot and ankle nerve pain relief. All 30 participants will be recruited over 9 months from the Altum Health clinic at Toronto Western Hospital. 10 participants will be randomly assigned to each treatment. Each patient will receive 3 injections over 3 weeks or so. Participants will have an in-clinic follow-up at 1 month after the last injection, and a phone follow-up 3 months after the last injection. This is a small-scale study, and information obtained from this study will help in planning and conduct of a larger study with more participants. The larger study will help determine the best possible option for injection in patients with nerve-related injury pain.
