Clinical Trial Summary

Complex oro-facial pain is a poorly diagnosed and poorly treated cause of significant suffering and disability. This study will explore the ability of fMRI to identify patients with complex oro-facial pain who respond to transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy. Specific Aims: 1. To establish baseline patterns of MRI in patients with chronic oro-facial pain without a definitive etiologic diagnosis. 2. To estimate the rate of treatment success of transcranial stimulation of the primary motor cortex (M1) in these patients. 3. To identify post-treatment MRI patterns that are associated with treatment success.


Description:

Methods: Patients diagnosed with complex oral or facial pain at the UMPhysicians Complex Facial Pain Clinic who meet inclusion and exclusion criteria will be offered participation in the study. They will undergo baseline evaluation for depression with the HAM-D and MADRAS scales and for quality of life with the WHOQOL-BREF scale. Pain will be assessed using a 10 point visual analogue scale. Resting and pcasl MRI will be done within 24 hours before the first treatment. Treatment will consist of five daily sessions of motor cortex stimulation contralateral to the pain. Visual analogue pain scores will be obtained just before each treatment. Rating scales, resting and pcasl MRI will be repeated within 24 hours and at 2 weeks after the last treatment. Analysis: FMRI activation patterns will be examined by the investigators and correlated with treatment outcomes with the goal of identifying fMRI characteristics that can select patients suitable for further study.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) The Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) is one of the most frequently utilized rating scales to assess manic symptoms. The scale has 11 items and is based on the patient's subjective report of his or her clinical condition over the previous 48 hours.
The YMRS total score ranges from 0 to 60 where higher scores indicate more severe mania.
pre-treatment, 3 and 7 days post treatment
Primary Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Participants are asked to rate pain on a100 mm visual analogue scale with 0 representing no pain and 100 representing worst possible pain. The mean difference from baseline to 7 days post-treatment is recorded. 7 days
Secondary World Health Organization Quality of Life Abbreviated (WHOQOL-BREF) Overall A questionnaire used to determine the impact and burden of a disease on daily life. This assessment has 26 questions and covers the domains of physical and psychological health, social relationships, and environment. The answers to various question are included in one or more of the domains. Raw scores are transformed in several different ways by different investigators. We report raw scores. Domains have the following raw score ranges: Overall Quality of Life 2-10, Physical Heath 7-35, Psychological Health 6-30, Social Relationships 3-15, Environment 8-40, Total Raw Score 26-130. Higher scores in each of the domains correspond to greater perceived quality of life. pre-treatment, 3 and 7 days post treatment
