Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this project is to study the role of transient receptor potential (TRP-) channel V1 (TRPV1+) fibers in the development of cutaneous inflammation induced by epidermal Ultraviolet-B damage. Moreover, in this project the investigators want to evaluate if the capsaicin-desensitization action can still be induced in a skin area pretreated with topical, local anesthetic lidocaine.


Clinical Trial Description

In this project the Ultraviolet- B pain model, a model using type B ultraviolet rays to induce a first-degree sunburn, will be used to induce a non-specific inflammation in the skin. This model is well-known to produce both peripheral and central hyperalgesia through sensitization of peripheral and central nociceptors. Capsaicin, the active substance in chili peppers, is currently used to treat peripheral neuropathic pain, and prolonged application of 8% capsaicin patch causes profound desensitization to painful heat stimuli and itch provocations. Therefore, the investigators would like to monitor the development of unspecific UVB-cutaneous inflammation and consequent neurogenic flare in a capsaicin pre-treated area. Moreover the investigators want to test if pre-treating the skin with lidocaine can reduce the pain associated with the capsaicin application without affecting its desensitization action. ;
