Clinical Trial Summary

This study concerns children aged to 12 to 17-years with local chronic neuropathic pain after trauma or surgery. It is a multicentric randomized controlled superiority trial in parallel arms : - experimental arm: Capsaicin 8% cutaneous patch - controlled arm : Hydrocolloid dressing Treatment with capsaicin application is realized at baseline, and repeated 3 months after the first patch application if needed. Tolerance is assessed during each application and by phone call in following days until stop of cold need. Efficacy is assessed monthly by clinical consultation until the end of the study (month 4).


Clinical Trial Description

Children aged to 12 to 17-years monitored in pediatric pain outpatient clinics in the designed investigation centers for a local chronic neuropathic pain lasting more than 2 months after trauma or surgery are proposed to participate the trial. Children with persistant neuropathic pain (DN4 (Diagnostic Neuropathic Pain) > or = 3/7 ou DN4 >or = 4/10) despite oral treatment following recommendations for neuropathic pain may be enrolled in the study. For children not very painful (NRS-11 (Numeric Rating Scale) < 7 and FDI (Functional Disability Inventory) < 30) and without any oral treatment for neuropathic pain, the study may be proposed as first line treatment. If both the child and his/her parents accept the trial, he/she will be included in the study. It is a multicentric randomized controlled superiority trial in parallel arms : - experimental arm: Capsaicin 8% cutaneous patch - controlled arm : Hydrocolloid dressing At M0, take place : baseline evaluation, agreement consent signature, inclusion and randomization, as well as first treatment application either capsaicin cutaneous patch or hydrocolloid dressing. , If needed, the treatment may be done twice with a second application three months later (M3). Tolerance is assessed during each application and by phone call in following days until stop of cold need. Efficacy is assessed monthly by clinical consultation until the end of the study 4 months later (M4). ;
