Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
Integrative Genomic Analysis In Phantom Limb Pain
Background:
- Many people who lose a limb feel pain in the missing limb. This feeling is called phantom
limb pain. Researchers do not fully understand what causes this pain. Differences in people's
genes may play a role. Comparing the genes of people with and without phantom limb pain may
help researchers better understand this feeling, who is likely to develop it, and how to
treat it.
Objectives:
- To study whether genetic differences affect phantom limb pain.
Eligibility:
- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have lost an arm or leg at least 3 months ago.
Design:
- Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam.
- Participants will answer questions about how they lost the limb, and whether they feel
phantom limb pain. They will also have a test to measure their sensitivity to heat and
cold.
- Participants will provide a blood sample for genetic testing.
Objectives:
The proposed clinical trial will investigate the role of the human genome including genetic
variations and gene expression profiles on the development of phantom limb pain (PLP).
Study population:
Patients will be recruited from military personnel with major limb amputations. A total of
one thousand subjects with upper or lower extremity amputations of any level will be enrolled
in this study.
Design:
Eight hundred subjects with chronic PLP (PLP patient) and 200 patients without PLP (non-PLP
patient) will assess the severity of their pain symptom. Each participant will undergo a
routine blood draw from which DNA and RNA will be harvested.
Outcome measures:
Using Affymetrix SNP 6.0 technology, which identifies up to 1 million single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) and 1 million copy number variations in the human genome, the
differences in genomic variations between the PLP and the non-PLP patients will be analyzed.
An extreme subset of PLP patients will be tested for their quantitative sensory function and
profiled gene expression and epigenetic pattern with the Affymetrix Human Exon ST 1.0 and
Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx. These integrative genomic analyses using genetic variations,
gene expression and epigenetic profile could explain why some amputees experience chronic PLP
and some do not. By studying these responses in patient samples, we will evaluate the role of
genomic factors in PLP. SNP frequencies, gene expression and epigenetic profiles between PLP
and non-PLP groups will be analyzed.
