Filter by:Study based on the pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, safety and stability evaluation of 3 standardized formulations of THC, to be used in healthy volunteers and post-chemotherapy patients as an adjuvant in the symptomatic treatment of the latter in discomfort associated with cancer treatment, with the aim of possible new therapeutic entities.
Study rational. Methadone is a distinctive opioid because of its pharmacological characteristics and its multiple modes of action, reinforcing its therapeutic value in managing advanced cancer pain, particularly in cases with a neuropathic component. However, the complex pharmacodynamics of methadone makes its prescription sometimes challenging. There is a wide inter-individual variability of its half-life. This long half-life is a valued characteristic for the management of patients treated for an addictive disorder. However, in the context of pain management, it greatly complicates the switch from and to another opioid, accentuating the risk of overdose. This is the reason why LBR, willing to improve his knowledge about Methadone in real life clinical practice wants to performe this study. We anticipate that most patients will receive one of the above-described protocols, but we must anticipate that other protocols may be used in clinical practice in the absence of specific recommendations. Therefore it is of utmost relevance to describe the safety when initiating treatment with Zoryon® during the crucial period from D1 until the day of optimal dosage is determined (DOD) as the clinical practice may vary from a practician to another, and then until the routine follow-up visit one month after initiation of the treatment (D28).
This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 3D1002 alone or in combination with oxycodone hydrochloride sustained-release tablets (OxyContin) for the management of moderate or severe cancer pain.
Patients will undergo an implantation of an extradural pituitary surface electrode in the pituitary fossa. The electrode will be attached to a neurostimulator via which the patient will receive up to 8 (patient requested) stimulations per day.
An open-label, single arm, observation study, to assess the efficacy and safety of proportional doses of Painkyl® in patients with breakthrough cancer pain.
The superior hypogastric plexus (SHP) is a complex nervous collection located at the lumbosacral region below the level of the aortic bifurcation at the level of the lower third of the fifth lumbar vertebral body and upper third of the first sacral vertebral body at the sacral promontory Neurolytic agents, such as alcohol and phenol have been used to ablate peripheral nerves to treat pain and spasticity . These agents were nonspecific for neuronal tissue and complications have been seen involving damage to surrounding soft tissue (skin, muscle, vascular) and pain on alcohol injection Lidocaine has been demonstrated to be neurotoxic in high concentrations at 10% and can be used as a neurolytic agent with no effect on motor function, muscle state, or surrounding tissue rather than other neurolytic.
Blinded withdrawal of regular co-medication with paracetamol in chronic pain patients under strong opioids on pain control.
This is a feasibility pilot trial assessing a behavioral intervention for chronic pain among disease-free cancer survivors to decrease long-term opioid dependence.
Proportional dose of sublingual fentanyl tablet (Narco®) based on daily opioid requirement versus intravenous PCA for breakthrough cancer pain: A prospective, randomized, open-label, noninferiority trial.
Current guidelines recommend all people with cancer-related pain should be prescribed paracetamol, even those receiving high doses of strong pain killers (opioids) such as morphine. Although this has been shown in studies to be beneficial in other conditions, for instance dental work and after surgery, it has not been shown to further improve pain in people with cancer-related pain. Taking tablets is burdensome to patients and the study aims to determine whether the inconvenience of taking eight extra paracetamol tablets per day can be justified. The study plans to show whether or not pain control is changed (non-inferior) when stopping paracetamol compared to continued use of paracetamol in people already taking strong pain killers for cancer-related pain. Voluntary participants who are taking a combination of paracetamol and a strong opioid are recruited to the study.
