Filter by:The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of BIIB074 in treating pain experienced by participants with trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Secondary objectives of this study are to investigate the safety and tolerability of BIIB074 in participants with TN and to evaluate the population pharmacokinetics (PK) of BIIB074.
There is a significant debate whether local infiltration techniques may be a method to treat complicated chronic pain syndromes, e.g. refractory headache. Until now there is a lack of evidence regarding efficacy of this treatment especially in long term follow up. Similarly, indication and management are under debate. Aim of this trial is to analyse pain scores during first treatment with anaesthesiological infiltration series.
The primary objectives of the study are to assess the relative bioavailability of the BIIB074 direct compression formulation (DCF) to the BIIB074 roller compaction formulation (RCF) and to determine the effect of a high-fat meal on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the BIIB074 DCF. The secondary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of BIIB074 administered as the DCF following single oral dose administration in healthy participants.
The Will Erwin Headache Research Center Study of Cluster Headache and Trigeminal Neuralgia is a prospective, multicenter, observational research network for subjects with Cluster Headache and/or Trigeminal Neuralgia.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether what kind of occlusion are related the orofacial pain under investigation, and whether occlusal adjustment have an effect in relief of this kind of orofacial pain.
The primary objectives of this study are: To evaluate pharmacokinetics (PK) properties of BIIB074 administered as a single oral dose in healthy Japanese and Caucasian participants; and To evaluate the PK properties of BIIB074 administered as repeated oral doses in healthy Japanese participants. The secondary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of BIIB074 administered as a single oral dose (Japanese and Caucasian participants) and as repeated oral doses (Japanese participants).
This is a double blinded randomized control trial of a Surface Acoustic Wave Patch device for the treatment of Trigeminal Neuralgia. This will be a crossover study for the group that receives the sham device. Subjects will be monitored for subjective criteria of pain and quality of life, as well as objective measurement of analgesic usage.
Up to now, multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) has been widely used to detect the neurovascular compressions (NVC) on the patients with idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia (ITN). However, due to lack of stereoscopic vision, this traditional method sometimes cannot meet the requirement on identifying the existence and details of NVC, especially when the aberrant vessels turn out to be delicate veins. The three-dimensional analytic techniques, such as curved planar reconstruction (CPR) and magnetic resonance virtual endoscopy (MRVE), may be helpful to improve the sensitivity and specificity on the demonstration of NVC with stereo and dynamic views, so as to assist to design the surgical plan. Furthermore, the frequent finding of NVC on MRI studies of asymptomatic patients incited the creation of several strict criteria for the imaging diagnosis of NVC: the vessel must cross perpendicular to the long axis of the nerve, the nerve must be deviated or indented at the root entry zoon (REZ) by the vessel. Alternatively, morphological measurement of the nerve may correlate with the severity of facial pain due to atrophy of the nerve in most cases of ITN, and is likely secondary to the micro-structural abnormalities, such as axonal loss, demyelination, collagen deposition, etc. In this study, cross-sectional area (CSA) and volume (V) of the cisternal trigeminal nerve will be assessed to determine whether it can be a useful biomarker for predicting the degree of ITN.
To determine the feasibility of frameless Virtual Cone trigeminal neuralgia radiosurgery at a single institution prior to multi-institutional enrollment.
Trigeminal neuralgia is one of the strongest pains known to humans. Some patients do not have enough effect with the available pharmaceutical treatments and are offered surgery. There are different types of procedures and most of them are complex with a risk for complications. The researchers want to start a pilot study on 10 patients with a new surgical technique using neuronavigation. The target will be a neural structure (sphenopalatine ganglion) which has an important role in facial pain. There have been a few trials trying to block this structure in trigeminal neuralgia, but none using this new approach with botulinum toxin. The researchers technique requires local anesthesia only (awake patient). The researchers believe that this treatment can become a "low threshold"-treatment for patients who do not have enough effect with pharmacological treatment and a better alternative to other complex surgical approaches. Using this new neuronavigation system the researchers can reach this neural structure with high precision.
