NCT ID: NCT00336349 Completed - Diabetes Mellitus Clinical Trials

A Study of Intra-dermal Injection of Botulinum Toxin Type A for the Diabetic Neuropathic Foot Pain

Start date: June 2006
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Effective treatment of neuropathic foot pain in diabetic patients is very important to improve their quality of life. There are many medications used to reduce the diabetic neuropathic pain, including anticonvulsants, anti-depressants or analgesics, but none is universally satisfied. A few previous studies employing BOTOX® i.d. injection for control of trigeminal neuralgia, post-herpes neuralgia indicate that BOTOX® was effective in controlling neuropathic pain. Intradermal injection of BOTOX® to the dorsum of the foot in diabetics should be effective in controlling diabetes-associated polyneuropathic pain of the foot.

NCT ID: NCT00335933 Completed - Clinical trials for Neuralgia, Postherpetic

Safety and Efficacy of Gabapentin in Postherpetic Neuralgia

Start date: May 2006
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Gabapentin and pregabalin are treatments for some types of neuropathic pain, including postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). However, these treatments usually need to be taken 3 times a day for effective pain control. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a new gabapentin tablet, which only needs to be taken once or twice a day, is safe and effective for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia.

NCT ID: NCT00322621 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetic Neuropathies

Maintenance of Effect of Duloxetine in Patients With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathic Pain (DPNP)

Start date: April 2006
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

To determine if duloxetine 60 mg once daily can work up to 6 months in treating pain from Diabetic Neuropathy.

NCT ID: NCT00313820 Completed - Clinical trials for Central Neuropathic Pain

Efficacy Of Pregabalin In Subjects With Post-Stroke Central Neuropathic Pain

Start date: August 2006
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Efficacy and Safety of flexibly dosed pregabalin compared to placebo among subjects with central post stroke pain (CPSP)

NCT ID: NCT00313378 Completed - Clinical trials for Partial Pneumonectomy Under Lateral or Posterolateral Thoracotomy.

Effects of Perioperative Systemic Ketamine on Development of Long-term Neuropathic Pain After Thoracotomy

Start date: April 2004
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Lung surgery under thoracotomy is known to induce long-term pain which can be considered as neuropathic in many patients concerned [1,2]. The suspected origin of neuropathy is a direct traumatism of intercostal nerve(s) [3]. Among the possible preventive treatments that can be administered during the initial aggression, ketamine [4,5] appears as the easiest to use, as it is already commonly administered intra and postoperatively for improvement of analgesia [6].

NCT ID: NCT00312260 Completed - Pain Clinical Trials

Comparing Gabapentin and Amitriptyline for the Treatment of Neuropathic Pain in Children and Adolescents

Start date: April 2006
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The objective of the study is to compare the efficacy of gabapentin and amitriptyline for treating neuropathic pain in children in a randomized controlled trial.

NCT ID: NCT00305357 Completed - Clinical trials for Post-Herpetic Neuralgia

Evolution of Pain From Herpes Zoster

Start date: November 2001
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Evolution of pain and neural injury will be evaluated at 2 years or longer after the onset of AHZ by multiple measures. Assessments at 2 years or longer will be compared to those collected during the first 6 months after HZ in order to test whether or not sensory function and cutaneous innervation continues to normalize beyond 6 months in subjects who recover from HZ without severe PHN.

NCT ID: NCT00305136 Completed - Pain, Postoperative Clinical Trials

Advancement of Psychophysics of Pain Modulation From Lab to Clinic: Constructing Susceptibility Profile for Appearance of Postoperative Neuropathic Pain

Start date: December 2005
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Recent advances in the field of pain psychophysics that have enhanced the understanding of pain processing by the nervous system seem to characterize the individual pattern of pain processing, thereby enabling the prediction of a person's susceptibility to develop chronic pain consequent to surgery. In this project, the researchers propose to apply a wide array of advanced testing methods in order to prospectively assess the pain modulation pattern of pain free patients about to undergo an elective thoracotomy. Since about half of post-thoracotomy patients suffer from chronic neuropathic postoperative pain, the researchers expect to identify which tests predict a risk for this pain and the relative power of the relevant tests in this prediction, and to construct a short and applicable tool, the 'pain susceptibility profile', that will reliably predict the risk for the development of pain. The expected results of this project will serve the field of pain prevention by identifying patients at risk and tailoring interventions to reduce the risk of chronic pain.

NCT ID: NCT00301223 Completed - Neuropathic Pain Clinical Trials

A Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Pregabalin in Patients With Symptoms of Neuropathic Pain

Start date: February 2006
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability for pregabalin using a flexible, optimized dose schedule compared to placebo in relieving the symptoms of neuropathic pain.

NCT ID: NCT00300222 Completed - Pain Clinical Trials

Study of NGX-4010 for the Treatment of Postherpetic Neuralgia

Start date: March 2006
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of NGX-4010 applied for 60 minutes for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN).
