Filter by:Background Diabetic neuropathy is a widespread, debilitating condition and its management needs a significant cost. Around, 50% of diabetes mellitus (DM) patients suffer from Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathic Pain (DPNP). According to the reported data, specific anticonvulsants and antidepressants are effective for coping diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Two drugs, duloxetine and pregabalin, are officially permitted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the management of DPNP. Methodology A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) trial for 12 weeks will be carried out on 126 volunteer DPNP patients with age between 18- to 70-year-old and participants was selected through consecutive sampling and will be evaluated on the basis of duration of the disease, pain scales and the data provided by particular consultants. The parameters will be measured weekly and final parameters will be measured after 12 weeks. Statistical analysis will be carried out by SPSS, ANOVA, and t-test. Expected outcomes: From this experimental design, investigators are expecting improvement in the management of DPNP and Duloxetine is more effective for treating patients suffering from DPNP.
In this study, patients scheduled to undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA) will be screened through a survey for patients with central sensitivity and patients with neuropathic pain as preoperative evaluation. It is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of pregabalin with the decision to prescribe duloxetine by dividing patient groups according to central sensitization and neuropathic pain.
A standardized behavioural approach based on mindfulness delivered mainly by a specific APP on android will be developed and applied for patients with chronic pain conditions, as migraine and neuropathic pain. The aim of this pilot study: The investigators propose a pilot study to enforce the application of a Home-program for patients with different pain conditions, to learn mindfulness practice, added to a regular mindfulness guided face-to-face program, by using the technology with android to receive mindfulness sessions for daily practice and to assess the feasibility and the effectiveness of behavioural approach base on mindfulness delivered with this modality.
The relatively complex anatomical structure of the pelvis has been a focus of study in the medical field. The diagnosis of the causes of chronic pelvic pain is usually a complicated process. Pudendal neuralgia is a syndrome that is characterized by pelvic pain, including bowel, bladder regional pain or discomfort, sexual dysfunction, severe burning sensations and needle-like pain, which are aggravated when seated and relieved after standing. pudendal neuralgias are induced by pudendal nerve damage The mechanism of PRF has been studied repeatedly. It has been verified that PRF has definite safe treatment range, but during the PRF treatment, the tissue surrounding the electrode may have some degree of change and so it is difficult to assess any actual damage.7 Based on electric field intensity, PRF can actually produce tissue changes observable as in vitro changes to ultrastructure in early-phase histologic study. These biological changes were converted to biological effect to alleviate neuropathic pain in animal models.
In this study, a randomized, double-blind, placebo parallel-controlled design was used to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of YJ001 spray applied to local skin in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain, and to explore the best effective dose.
Trigeminal neuralgia is a type of neuropathic pain that brings great physical and psychological pressure to patients. Chronic pain can cause changes in the composition of central and peripheral body fluids, and these changes may be useful for the prediction and treatment of pain. In this study, the whole blood of patients with trigeminal neuralgia and non-chronic pain was collected, and transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed to determine the peripheral transcriptome changes of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) patients. And compare the expression of neuropeptide Y (NPY) in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid of TN and non-chronic pain patients.
Brief summary: This single-arm, pilot clinical investigation aims to evaluate Mindful SensoriMotor Therapy (MSMT) enhanced with brain modulation as a treatment of pain due to sensorimotor impairment, such as Phantom Limb Pain (PLP). MSMT consists of consciously retraining the motor and sensory networks used by the missing limb via myoelectric pattern recognition and haptic feedback. In this trial, we further enhance the effect of MSMT by brain modulation, transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS).
Contextualization: Neuropathic pain is a complication present in the clinical picture of patients with traumatic Brachial Plexus injury (BPI). It is characterized by high intensity, severity and refractoriness to clinical treatments, resulting in high disability and loss of quality of life. Due to loss of afferent entry, it causes cortical and subcortical alterations and changes in somatotopic representation, from inadequate plastic adaptations in the Central and Peripheral Nervous System, one of the therapies with potential benefit in this population is the Transcranial High Definition Continuous Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS). Thus, by using connectivity-based response prediction and machine learning, it will allow greater assurance of efficiency and optimization of the application of this therapy, being directed to patients with greater potential to benefit from the application of this approach. Objective: Using connectivity-based prediction and machine learning, this study aims to assess whether baseline EEG related characteristics predict the response of patients with neuropathic pain after BPI to the effectiveness of HD-tDCS treatment. Materials and methods: A quantitative, applied, exploratory, open-label response prediction study will be conducted from data acquired from a pilot, triple-blind, cross-over, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial investigating the efficacy of applying HD-tDCS to patients with neuropathic brachial plexus trauma pain. Participants will be evaluated for eligibility and then randomly allocated into two groups to receive the active HD-tDCS or simulated HD-tDCS. The primary outcome will be pain intensity as measured by the numerical pain scale. Participants will be invited to participate in an EEG study before starting treatment. Clinical improvement labels used for machine learning classification will be determined based on data obtained from the clinical trial (baseline and post-treatment evaluations). The hypothesis adopted in this study is that the response prediction model constructed from EEG frequency band pattern data collected at baseline will be able to identify responders and non-responders to HD-tDCS treatment.
Background: Approximately half of the patients with long-standing diabetes are known to have diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Pain from DPN deteriorates the quality of life and hinders daily life activities. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of high-frequency (10 Hz) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the left primary motor cortex (M1) for neuropathic pain in the lower extremities due to DPN. Methods: In this randomized trial, 22 patients with DPN will randomly assign to the rTMS group (10 Hz stimulation, five sessions) or the sham group. A numeric rating scale (NRS) will use to measure pain intensity before treatment and after 1 day and 1 week of the treatment. Physical and mental health status will evaluate using the Short Form 36-Item Health Survey (SF-36), comprising two subscales (physical and mental component scores [PCSs and MCSs]), at 1-week post-treatment.
This study aims to evaluate the results of percutaneous radiofrequency rhizotomy and the effectiveness of microvascular decompression for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and Comparing between them according the different outcome parameters.
