Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a 6 mg twice a day dose of an investigational product in subjects with diabetic neuropathy
The purpose of this study is to obtain more data about efficacy and safety of the study drug Lyrica.
The objectives of this study are to: 1) describe the prevalence of neuropathic pain (NP) in breast cancer survivors and 2) to develop preliminary statistical risk models for predicting the risk for NP incorporating disease-related variables (e.g., stage of disease, location of tumor), treatment variables (chemotherapy, dose, duration; and other cancer therapy), clinical health status (e.g., comorbid conditions), and sociodemographic characteristics (e.g., age, sex, race). Researchers will also gather data to answer the following secondary aims: 1. To assess the impact of NP on quality of life. 2. To assess the current management of NP in cancer (current medication, duration of such treatment, reasons for discontinuation) and the outcomes of this management.
Objectives : to investigate the analgesic effects and safety of intradermal botulinum toxin A injection in the treatment of focal painful neuropathies (eg, postherpetic neuralgia, nerve trauma)
Acupuncture has been used with good results for many years at Toronto Rehabilitation Institute Lyndhurst Centre (Toronto, ON, Canada), Parkwood Hospital (London, ON, Canada) and GF Strong Rehabilitation Institute (Vancouver, BC, Canada) to reduce burning pain in individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI). This multi-centre RCT will test an acupuncture protocol for treatment of burning pain in 40 people with burning pain in SCI, using a sham acupuncture protocol as the control. Objectives of Study: 1. To determine the feasibility of conducting a real acupuncture vs. sham acupuncture trial in a multi-centre study using the Lyndhurst Central Neuropathic Pain Acupuncture Protocol (LCCNPAP). This will inform a larger study which will directly evaluate the effect of the LCCNPAP on pain and Quality of Life (QOL) in individuals with SCI. 2. To determine which outcome measures are most responsive and the amount of change that could be expected, with respect to pain and QOL, for the larger study. 3. To obtain preliminary data to determine subject numbers for future studies evaluating the effect of the acupuncture protocol.
This study will compare the efficacy and the safety of ABT-894 (1mg, 2mg or 4mg capsules) administered BID to placebo in the treatment of DNP. Another treatment arm will be Duloxetine 60mg administered once daily (QD). Approximately 275 subjects will be enrolled into the study at approximately 50 sites in both the United States and Europe. The study will be divided into the following periods: Screening/Washout (21 days) followed by a Baseline Visit, an 8-week Treatment Period and a 1-week Follow-up Visit.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and tolerability of 200 mg of RWJ-333369 given twice daily by mouth compared with placebo in the treatment of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and tolerability of 200 mg of RWJ-333369 given twice daily compared with placebo in the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether nabilone (Cesamet) when used as an adjunctive agent with gabapentin (Neurontin) provides significantly improved pain relief over gabapentin alone for the management of neuropathic pain in MS.
Neuropathic pain is caused by a virus commonly associated with chicken pox. This virus may become dormant in the nervous system and later reactivate causing herpes zoster, also known as "shingles". Post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a persistent pain in the area of healed skin lesions. This study will test the safety and efficacy of treating PHN patients with the analgesic patch, Bupivacaine TTS (Eladur™).
