Filter by:The purpose of this proposed study is to conduct a randomized double-blind placebo controlled trial assessing the benefit of nabilone in pain management and improvement of quality of life in patients with phantom limb pain. Our Hypothesis is that the synthetic cannabinoid Nabilone will significantly reduce the phantom limb pain and improve quality of life, compared to the placebo controlled group. This will be evident by finding significant differences in Visual Analogue Scale pain scores, frequency of phantom pain episodes, the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, and the Groningen Sleep Quality Scale and daily prosthetic wearing time.
This trial is part of a larger, longitudinal study of symptoms that occur in the breast surgical scar area and/or ipsilateral arm following breast cancer surgery. Women who develop pain in the breast scar area or ipsilateral arm will be randomized to a placebo patch or a lidocaine patch that they will wear on a daily basis for 12 weeks. We hypothesize that women who wear the lidocaine patch will report a decrease in pain and decreased interference with function compared to women who wear the placebo patch.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether BMS-741672 improves neuropathic pain in diabetic patients.
To establish the infrastructure for a national neuropathic pain database. To determine the longterm outcome of the management of chronic neuropathic pain including pain relief, disability, and quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to determine which component of an artificial geranium oil helps to reduce your neuropathy pain.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ADL5859 in relieving the pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) compared with placebo and duloxetine (a marketed drug approved for the treatment of painful DPN). The pain symptoms of DPN are thought to be due to damage to nerves caused by the diabetes.
This prospective cohort and multi-site study aims to develop Taiwan version (ID Pain-T) based on the original versions of ID Pain and also DN4, and validate both ID Pain-T and DN4 applied in Taiwanese subjects at the clinical setting.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2 weeks of topical KD7040 versus placebo in the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia.
Patients with peripheral neuropathy frequently exhibit treatment-refractory neuropathic pain. Although both peripheral and central determinants are recognized for the pathophysiological basis of neuropathic pain following peripheral injury, the modulating effect on pain processing in brain by peripheral mechanisms remains elusive. Here, we will systematically compare the sensory symptoms and brain activation to painful heat stimulation applied to the foot dorsum between patients with peripheral neuropathy and healthy controls. Functional magnetic resonance imaging will be used to define brain activation to thermal stimulation with noxious heat and innocuous warm thermal stimuli applied by contact heat stimulator. Brain activation during thermal stimulation in patients with neuropathic pain will be clarified, and we will also analyze the potential relationships between the topography, quality and intensity of the different painful symptoms and the magnitude and pattern of brain activation during thermal stimulation. This will add in our understanding in the pathophysiology of brain modulation in pain and provide clinically useful message toward the potential therapeutics in the management of neuropathic pain.
Acupuncture has been used with good results for many years at Toronto Rehabilitation Institute Lyndhurst Centre (Toronto, ON, Canada), Parkwood Hospital (London, ON, Canada) and GF Strong Rehabilitation Institute (Vancouver, BC, Canada) to reduce burning pain in individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI). This multi-centre RCT will test an acupuncture protocol for treatment of burning pain in 40 people with burning pain in SCI, using a sham acupuncture protocol as the control. Objectives of Study: 1. To determine the feasibility of conducting a real acupuncture vs. sham acupuncture trial in a multi-centre study using the Lyndhurst Central Neuropathic Pain Acupuncture Protocol (LCCNPAP). This will inform a larger study which will directly evaluate the effect of the LCCNPAP on pain and Quality of Life (QOL) in individuals with SCI. 2. To determine which outcome measures are most responsive and the amount of change that could be expected, with respect to pain and QOL, for the larger study. 3. To obtain preliminary data to determine subject numbers for future studies evaluating the effect of the acupuncture protocol.
