Clinical Trial Summary

A single center trial to evaluate the efficacy, tolerance, and acceptability of Oxygenated Glycerol Triesters (OGT) mentholated cream on acute musculoskeletal pain in normal healthy adult volunteers suffering from a recent inflammation of muscles and joints. Patient who met eligibility requirements were instructed to identify one area on their body where they were experiencing the most acute musculoskeletal pain/discomfort. Patients were provided with visual analog scales in order to quantify their pain. Patients either received mentholated cream with or without OGT and instructed to rub on the identified site 3 times a day for 7 days. Pain and other observations were written in a diary for each day.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Severity of Pain Patients were instructed to identify one area on their body where they were experiencing the most acute musculoskeletal pain/discomfort. No
Secondary Limitation of Activity How limited patient activities were due to the pain associated with the area of interest. No
Secondary Evaluation of the mobility of the painful joint/muscle Patient assessed how mobile their joints/muscles were within the area of interest. No
Secondary Skin Toxicity Tolerability was assessed from Redness and Dryness VAS recorded by the clinical evaluator. No formal safety testing was performed in this study; however anecdotal information (stinging, burning, itching, etc.) was captured on the subjects' diaries. Yes
