Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a relationship between spasticity and relative changes in Basal Energy Expenditure in persons with spinal cord injury.
Study Objectives: To determine the efficacy and safety of a standardised extract of Cannabis sativa given orally 2 times daily as compared to placebo for the relief of muscle stiffness and pain in multiple sclerosis for a period of 12 weeks. Study Patients: 400 patients with multiple sclerosis (age 18-64, stable disease during previous 6 months, ambulatory or not, antispasticity medication and physiotherapy stabilised ≥ 30 days) with experiencing muscle stiffness ≥ 4 on a 11-point numerical Likert scale at baseline. Study treatment: Group 1: Cannabis extract (delta-9-THC 2.5mg, CBD 1.25 mg per capsule), flexible dosing between 5 mg and 25 mg THC/d, administered twice daily, additionally to previous antispasticity and analgesic medication. Group 2: Matched placebo, twice daily, additionally to previous antispasticity and analgesic medication. Treatment Schedule: Start dose 5 mg THC/d, individual dose titration with increase of 5 mg THC every 3 days, maximal total daily dose 25 mg THC, administered as 2 equal doses based on tolerability. Treatment duration: 12 weeks. Study sites: 20 neurological clinics in the United Kingdom.
A drug called AV650 (tolperisone HCl) will be given to patients who have spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis. This study has three purposes: 1. To determine whether AV650 is safe for patients with multiple sclerosis; 2. To gather some early evidence as to whether AV650 is effective in treating spasticity in patients with multiple sclerosis; and, 3. To assess what the body does with AV650 once it is ingested (Germany and Czech Republic sites only).
A drug called AV650 (tolperisone HCl) will be given to patients who have spasticity following a spinal cord injury. This study has three purposes: 1. To determine whether AV650 is safe for patients with spinal cord injury; 2. To assess what the body does with AV650 once it is ingested; and, 3. To gather some early evidence as to whether AV650 is effective in treating spasticity in patients with spinal cord injury.
Open label, one year extension study to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of 12 mg sublingual tizanidine administered once nightly in MS patients who successfully completed Phase I/II protocol C2/5/TZ:MS-05 at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, Department of Neurology, Dr. Arnon Karni, PI.
The purposes of this pilot study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Botox® compared to the safety and efficacy of oral baclofen in reducing muscle tone-related disability resulting from neurological damage or a stable neurological disorder and to evaluate drug-therapy tolerance.
The purpose of this study is to learn if the use of inhaled cannabis (marijuana) and oral cannabinoid (dronabinol, Marinol or THC, which is an active ingredient of marijuana) is safe and effective in reducing the symptoms of spasticity and tremor in patients with secondary-progressive or primary progressive multiple sclerosis.
