Filter by:Scientific research on pruritus is in intensive development, with significant advances in understanding its pathophysiology. The causes of pruritus are very huge; they can be classified into different categories; we can find dermatological causes, systemic causes, neuropathic or neurological causes, psychogenic or even idiopathic causes. The diagnosis of psychogenic pruritus is often over stated, when no cause is found; therefore, it is important to see what is really relieving from psychic so as not to over-diagnose and adopt a therapy more in line with the real problem of the patient. In daily practice, it seems to have a tendency to separate psychogenic and neurogenic etiologies in the diagnosis of neuropathic or psychogenic pruritus. In the case of patients with psychogenic pruritus and neuropathic pruritus, no study has attempted to study the respective part of psychogenic and neurogenic components. Consequently, it would therefore be interesting to assess the areas of superposition and distinction of neuropathic and psychogenic pruritus. The aim of this pilot study is to assess the psychogenic and neurogenic components of psychogenic pruritus and neuropathic pruritus in order to improve understanding of the mechanism and therefore their management. The main objective of this study is to highlight the differences and the potential common characteristics between psychogenic and neuropathic pruritus in order to improve the differential diagnosis between these two pathologies. The secondary objective of this study is to describe the psychogenic and neurogenic characteristics of psychogenic and neuropathic pruritus.
Phantom and residual limb pain are types of peripheral neuropathic pain that are difficult to treat and where the underlying mechanisms are still not fully understood. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the motor cortex is an increasingly studied technique for the treatment of neuropathic pain and has shown modest effects in pain intensity reduction for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Newer rTMS coils provide the opportunity to stimulate larger brain areas, which could provide a better treatment option compared to conventional coils. The aims of this study are to investigate whether the peripheral nervous system is a necessary driver of phantom limb pain and/or residual limb pain in patients with lower limb amputation using spinal anaesthesia, and to assess the analgesic efficacy of deep H-coil rTMS compared to sham stimulation in the same patients.
Assess the efficacy of short-term nicotine transdermal patch administration for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in cancer stable patients or patients in remission.
Preliminary Evaluation of Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of XT-150 for the Treatment of Neuropathic Pain. Intrathecally administered, single injection.
This is a single center exploratory study in subjects suffering from chronic refractory pain to identify cellular, molecular and protein biomarkers within cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The study aims to identify any form of correlation between biological content of CSF and pain/treatment success. The study population include individuals suffering from chronic pain which has not been effectively treated with pharmacological treatment, medical intervention or alternative non-invasive treatments who have been scheduled for spinal cord stimulation.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of recording evoked compound action potentials (ECAPs) and somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) from the spinal cord (SC) and Dorsal root ganglions (DRG), and their suitability as feedback signals.
To determine the time-course of plasma and CSF concentrations of intravenous (IV) ondansetron in healthy subjects, with and without selective inhibition of Pgp efflux transporter.
The purpose of this study is to determine if pain can be relieved by delivering small amounts of electricity (called "electrical stimulation") to the nerves in an individual's amputated leg.This study will involve the use of a Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) System that is made by SPR Therapeutics (the sponsor of the study). The PNS System was cleared by the FDA for up to 60 days of use for the management of chronic pain, including extremity (leg) pain.
The main purpose of this study is to compare the change in pain intensity during treatment with a sodium-channel blocker (lacosamide) in patients with peripheral neuropathic pain with and without the irritable nociceptor phenotype.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of paracetamol in patients suffering from pain with a peripheral neuropathic component in the presence of their usual treatment.
