Botulinum Toxin for Pelvic Pain in Women With Endometriosis

EndometriosisChronic Pelvic Pain2 more

Background: - Some women with endometriosis have chronic pelvic pain. This pain may be caused by spasms of the pelvic floor muscles. These spasms can be detected by an examination. Studies suggest that botulinum toxin can help treat problems caused by muscle spasms. Researchers want to see if botulinum toxin injections into the pelvic floor muscles can decrease pain and spasms in women with pelvic pain. Objectives: - To see if botulinum toxin can relieve pain from pelvic floor spasm in women with pelvic pain. Eligibility: - Women between 18 and 50 years of age with pain associated with pelvic muscle spasm and endometriosis. Pain must be persistent (lasting for at least 3 months). Design: Participants will keep a pain diary and record their pain medication use for a month before the first visit. Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Participants will also answer questions about their pain levels and quality of life. Participants will receive either botulinum toxin or a placebo (salt water) injection. The injection will be given into the pelvic floor muscles through the vaginal wall. Participants will take a muscle relaxant like Valium and have anesthetic cream put on the vaginal wall before the injection. After the injection, participants will keep a pain diary for another month. At a 1-month followup visit, participants will answer questions about their pain. If the pain has not improved, all participants may have a botulinum toxin injection (no placebo) into the pelvic floor muscles as before. Participants will have followup visits for up to a year after the initial 1-month followup visit.

Randomized Placebo-Controlled Crossover Trial With THC (Delta 9-Tetrahydrocannabinol) for the Treatment...

CrampsAmyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Many patients with ALS experience cramps during the course of the disease. Frequently, cramps occur as the first symptom of the disease, months before the patients notice weakness and wasting. Cramp severity varies from mild, without affecting daily activities and sleep, to disabling, where almost any voluntary muscle activity induces long standing, severely painful cramping. ALS patients who smoke herbal cannabis (marijuana) or drink hemp tea report lessening of cramps and fasciculations. Although, various medications, such as magnesium, quinine sulfate, lioresal, dantrolene, clonazepam, diphenylhydantoin and gabapentin are used for the treatment of cramps in ALS so far, no medication has been of proven benefit. However, a recent pilot study with THC in ALS showed symptomatic effects in "spasms", fasciculations, insomnia and appetite. The aim of the proposed study is to determine the tolerability, safety and efficacy of THC in the treatment of cramps in ALS. The hypothesis is that THC will lessen cramps in ALS.

Botulinum Toxin for Cramps in Diabetic Neuropathy

Muscle Cramps AggravatedDiabetes Mellitus

Objective: previous studies suggest that botulinum toxin A (BoNT/A) can reduce muscle hyperactivity. Research Design and Methods: a single-center, double-blind and placebo-controlled study investigating the efficacy and safety of BoNT/A intramuscular injection for treating calf or foot cramps refractory to common pharmacological drugs in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Fifty patients were subdivided in two matched groups (cases and controls) and BoNT/A (100 or 30 units) was injected for each side into the gastrocnemious or the small flexor foot muscles, respectively, according to the predominance of leg or foot cramps. Responders were evaluated again with a second BoNT/A administration. The changes of pain intensity (primary outcome) and the changes in cramp frequency, the and the Cramp Severity Scale (CSS) were evaluated over the course of 20 weeks after BoNT/A administration.

A Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Pregabalin Against Frequent Muscle Cramp in Patients...

Muscle CrampLiver Cirrhosis

Muscle cramp is defined as a paroxysmal, involuntary, and painful contraction of skeletal muscle. Cirrhotic patients can encounter with muscle cramp frequently, which might be associated with poor quality of life. Gabapentin can be prescribed for muscle cramp. However, patients with liver cirrhosis have limited access to gabapentin which is metabolized primarily in liver. Pregabalin with a similar mechanism of action to gabapentin undergoes negligible metabolism owing to its improved pharmacokinetic properties. Thus, pregabalin might be a promising therapeutic option for patients with liver cirrhosis who are suffering from muscle cramp and susceptible to drug-induced hepatotoxicity. Therefore, the investigators hypothesize that pregabalin could effectively reduce painful symptoms derived from muscle cramp. In the current study, the investigators are going to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pregabalin by comparing outcomes between two groups (treatment group vs. placebo group).
