Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if Geranium oil will relieve a variety of neuropathic pain and some pain relief will last more than 48 hours.
The primary objective was to investigate whether multiple-dose administration of eslicarbazepine acetate affects the pharmacokinetics of metformin.
This study is designed to assess: 1. The impact of taking perioperative pregabalin on the incidence of chronic neuropathic pain and postthoracotomy syndrome at 3 months in patients who have undergone a thoracotomy with a thoracic epidural as the basic analgesic modality. 2. The impact of taking perioperative pregabalin on the relief of acute pain, and on the use of additional analgesics, such as opioids, for the relief of such pain in patients who have undergone thoracic surgery with a thoracic epidural as the basic analgesia. 3. The impact of taking perioperative pregabalin on the quality of life and level of functioning of patients who underwent thoracic surgery 3 months earlier. 4. The safety profile of pregabalin in this patient population. Hypothesis: The basic hypothesis in this study is that a dose of pregabalin administered preemptively 1 hour before a thoracotomy, then repeatedly during the postoperative period, when neuronal hyperexcitability is at a maximum (i.e., 4 days), will lead to a 33.3% decrease in the prevalence of chronic pain 3 months after surgery.
Nowadays, available drugs cannot always produce pain relief in patients with neuropathic pain disease. It is believed that drugs acting as antagonists of the N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor may have been efficient in the treatment of neuropathic pain disorders. Ketamine is the only NMDA receptor antagonist commercially available in France. Ketamine is usually administered intravenously for surgical anesthesia. The intravenous administration of ketamine will be difficult to manage in the treatment of chronic neuropathic pain. Some trials using oral ketamine for the treatment of neuropathic pain were conducted but results were heterogeneous. This may be explained by the different range of ketamine doses tested. The aim of this clinical trial is to identify a safe and an efficient dose of orally administrated ketamine for the treatment of peripheral neuropathic pain. The clinical trial will be conducted in Toulouse Hospital, France. This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The study will be conducted using 4 parallel groups (three doses of ketamine versus placebo).
The purpose of this study is to determine if Oxymorphone Extended Release is effective and safe in treating chronic pain in patients with cancer or neuropathic pain.
The study will investigate characteristics of chronic pain after thoracotomy
This study is being conducted as a regulatory requirement post initial marketing authorization. This is primarily a safety study. This was an open label study and patients were enrolled once the decision to prescribe the medication was made by the Investigator.
Chemotherapy is often used to treat cancer and in many cases can cure it or extend life. Unfortunately many of the chemotherapeutic agents used in treating cancer can cause nerve damage, resulting in severe pain involving the extremities. This "neuropathic" pain causes significant suffering in cancer survivors and may also limit the amount of chemotherapy patients are able to tolerate in attempting to treat the cancer. There is evidence that cannabinoids can suppress chemotherapy evoked neuropathy in animal models, in some cases better than morphine. This study proposes to examine the effect of a cannabinoid extract (Sativex) in treatment of neuropathic pain caused by chemotherapy.
The objective of this study is to evaluate extent, location, and perception of paresthesia as a function of anode/cathode configuration.
A Non-Interventional, Post-Marketing Surveillance (NI-PMS) study whose objectives were to assess the impact of pregabalin on subjects' pain, quality of sleep, and their general wellbeing, as well as the tolerance and safety of pregabalin in subjects with neuropathic pain.
