Filter by:The primary objective of this pilot trial is to identify pain model(s) which allow(s) to compare and differentiate the analgesic effects between transdermal fentanyl 25µg/h, transdermal fentanyl 12µg/h and placebo in a dose dependent way. The second objective is to compare the effects of transdermal buprenorphine 35µg/h in these models with the effect of the two transdermal fentanyl dosages. Therefore four different treatments are given; all treatments will be by means of a patch that is attached to the back for 72 hours.
Symptoms that herald herpes zoster include pruritus, dysesthesia and pain along the distribution of the involved dermatome. The most distressing symptom is typically pain and the most feared complication is postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), the persistence of pain long after rash healing. PHN is defined as pain persisting more than 3 months after the rash has healed. Both, the acute pain associated with herpes zoster and the chronic pain of PHN, have multiple adverse effects on health-related quality of life. The primary objective of the trial presented is to investigate whether a 4 week semi-standardised acupuncture is non-inferior (first step) or superior (second step) to (a) the anticonvulsive drug gabapentin and (b) sham laser acupuncture in the treatment of pain associated with herpes zoster in addition to standardised analgesics. Secondary objectives include an assessment of the change of sensoric function, of long-term effectiveness, the occurrence of PHN and an evaluation of several pain specific questionnaires
This is a clinical study testing PRF-108 and PRF-110 (a new extended release 4% gel formulations of ropivacaine) in an experimentally induced pain model in healthy volunteers. PRF-108 and PRF-110 are designed to deliver slow release of ropivacaine over 72 hours.
The purpose of this study is to compare the pain perception between lidocaine and plain aqueous gel during assessment of postvoid residual volume and the Q-tip test.
To demonstrate the relative bioavailability of Cilostazol 50 mg tablets under fasting conditions.
Pain is a most common symptom and it has a high impact on quality of life in cancer patients. Many cancer patients have received opioid therapy, but also many of them have suffered from side effects of opioids. Drowsiness and confusion are common side effects of opioids. Caffeine is a well known psychostimulant,and it is widely used as an analgesics. Thus, the investigators aimed to prove the efficacy of intravenous caffeine administration as an adjuvant analgesics to opioids. At the same time, the investigators tried to find that the side effects of opioids could be ameliorated by caffeine.
The objective of this study is to evaluate extent, location, and perception of paresthesia as a function of anode/cathode configuration.
This randomized phase III trial studies two different schedules of zoledronic acid to compare how well they work in reducing bone-related complications in patients with breast cancer, prostate cancer, or multiple myeloma that has spread to other places in the body and have bone involvement. Bone-related complications are a major cause of morbidity in patients with metastatic prostate cancer, breast cancer, and multiple myeloma. Zoledronic acid may stop the growth of cancer cells in the bone and may help relieve some of the symptoms caused by bone metastases. It is not yet known whether giving zoledronic acid more or less frequently is more effective in treating patients with metastatic cancer that has spread to the bone.
Injection of propofol is associated with discomfort in subsets of patients. Local anesthetics have been shown to attenuate this response in some patients. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial tests the hypothesis that lidocaine mixed with propofol will be superior to lidocaine administered directly into the vein, under tourniquet control, prior to injection of propofol. Both groups are expected to be superior to placebo.
This study is evaluating the effect of a Belladonna and Opium suppository administered intraoperatively on post operative pain after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. This is a blinded randomized study. 50% of patients will receive the suppository, 50% of patients will not. Neither you or your surgeon will know which group you are in.
