Filter by:This is the feasibility study of a single-site parallel three-armed participant-blinded controlled randomised efficacy trial of a 5-week course of the 'NeuOst treatment', compared to a designated control intervention, and to usual care only, for adults with pDPN.
This study aims to demonstrate treatment outcomes of Painful Diabetic Neuropathy (PDN) patients treated with BurstDRTM Spinal Cord Dorsal Column Stimulator (SCS) along with conservative medical management per standard of care.
The purpose of this post-market study is to evaluate changes in pain and neurological function with high frequency, 10 kHz spinal cord stimulation (SCS) therapy in patients with chronic, intractable lower limb pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, a condition known as painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN). This is a multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled study to evaluate improvement in pain and neurological function in PDN patients, with neurological function assessed via objective measures. Patients will be randomized to conventional medical management (CMM) or 10 kHz SCS plus CMM.
This study relies on the use of a smartphone application (SOMA) that the investigators developed for tracking daily mood, pain, and activity status in acute pain, chronic pain, and healthy controls over four months.The primary goal of the study is to use fluctuations in daily self-reported symptoms to identify computational predictors of acute-chronic pain transition, pain recovery, and/or chronic pain maintenance or flareups. The general study will include anyone with current acute or chronic pain, while a smaller sub-study will use a subset of patients from the chronic pain group who have been diagnosed with chronic low back pain, failed back surgery syndrome, or fibromyalgia. These sub-study participants will first take part in one in-person EEG testing session while completing simple interoception and reinforcement learning tasks and then begin daily use of the SOMA app. Electrophysiologic and behavioral data from the EEG testing session will be used to determine predictors of treatment response in the sub-study.
Diabetic painful peripheral neuropathy (DPN) constitutes a serious threat to the outcomes of patients with diabetes. Yet, the treatments for targeting the underlying nerve damage and relieving pain are limited. The low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) has been demonstrated to regulate neuronal activity without any concomitant tissue damage. Studies in animal models have shown that LIFU could protect nerve cells against inflammation and oxidative stress, as well as stimulate neurotrophic factor production. In humans, LIFU has been reported to be effective in relieving peripheral neurogenic pain caused by carpal tunnel syndrome and chemotherapy drugs. Thus, we aim to design a randomized controlled double-blind study by using LIFU. The primary endpoint is the patient's pain score (NRS), and the secondary endpoints include Neuropathy Symptom Score (NSS) and Neuropathy Deficit Score (NDS). Through this study, we anticipate establishing a new method for managing painful DPN.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of the current hard gelatin capsule formulation of NRD135S.E1 80 mg once daily in the treatment of PDPN when administered for 13 weeks.
This is a Platform Protocol to perform Phase II clinical trials in The Early Phase Pain Investigation Clinical Network (EPPIC-Net), under The Helping to End Addiction Long-termSM Initiative, or NIH HEAL InitiativeSM, related to the treatment of Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (PDPN) in a platform setting to test multiple assets under a single protocol.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of vitamin D3 on diabetic individual with painful neuropathy in a tertiary healthcare. The people with diabetes (type 1 and type 2) who have a Douleur Neuropathique 4 (DN4) score ≥4 will be considered eligible in this prospective study. Their serum samples will be subjected to pre-and post-biochemical screening of serum 25 (OH) D and HbA1c. The individual having Vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency will be administered a single dose of oral Vitamin D3 (Soft Gel capsule 200,000 IU), and follow-up for post-biochemical screening after 3 months.
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the role of peripheral afferent input for spontaneous pain in painful diabetic polyneuropathy
Diabetes is one of the main health care problemsworldwide with 5% average increased number of cases every year. According to International Diabetes Federation the prevalence of people with diabetes reached the number of 425 million people in 2017 and estimated rising to 628 million by 2045. Painful Diabetic Neuropathy (PDN) is the most common complication of diabetes affecting 90% of the patients. The symptoms of PDN include numbness, burning, stabbing pain, paraesthesia or hyperesthesiaof both symmetrical limbthat could reduce the quality of life. Several studies have found several therapeutic options to cope with pain in the PDN, but the results are not as satisfactory due to the uncertain pathophysiology of the disease and the limitations of the drug that can be administered because of itspolypharmaceutical side effects. The causes of diabetic neuropathy not only include vascular and metabolic factors but also Reactive Oxygen Species. There are several therapeutic options that can be administered such as glycemic index arrangement,foot care, symptomatic treatment, and predominantly pain therapy. According to guidelines, there are drugs therapy thatrecommended for PDN, among others, Gabapentin, Pregabalin and anticonvulsants until the pain subsides. Unfortunately, this treatment is only aimed at relieving the symptoms of existing pain but not working on existing pathophysiological mechanisms and fixing sensory deficits of neuropathy trials. Multi-target treatments is needed to attenuate neuronal inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis. Additional therapy can be an option to support healing and also the process of metabolic pathophysiology that occurs due to rising glycemic index in the body that causes the work of hexosamine pathway and trigger the formation of ROS and inflammation. There is evidence of research demonstrating the neuroprotective effects of Astaxanthin as oxidative, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic agent. Not only that, Astaxanthin is also a good supplement addition with no toxic effects when consumed, as well as hydrophilic and also lipophilic nature which makes Astaxanthin can penetrate the BBB effectively.
