Active clinical trials for "Neuralgia"

Individuals with dry eye tend to present with ocular pain which persists despite the use of topical treatment. This could be secondary to somatosensory impairment attributable to neuropathic pain. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of trigeminal nerve stimulation (TNS) on corneal nerves and chronic ocular pain in patients with dry eye.

Veterans who have responded well to Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA), a form of auricular acupuncture, in routine clinical practice will be invited to receive education to insert the needles themselves at home. A 3D-printed wearable prosthetic will also be explored as a means to facilitate needle placement. Primary end-points will include whether adverse events occur over a six-month period and whether the aforementioned prosthesis significantly facilitates needle placement in terms of subjective ease of administration.

This trial studies how well scrambler therapy works in reducing chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain in patients with cancer. Scrambler therapy is a type of treatment that uses electrodes placed on the skin. Electricity is carried from the electrodes through the skin and blocks the pain.

BAY1817080 is currently under clinical development to treat pain related to unexplained chronic cough or chronic cough not affected by a treatment (refractory and/or unexplained chronic cough, RUCC), or a condition where the bladder is unable to hold urine normally (overactive bladder, OAB) or a condition in which tissue similar to the tissue that normally lines the inside of the womb grows outside the womb (endometriosis). In this study researchers want to learn more about the safety of BAY1817080, how it is tolerated and the way the body absorbs, distributes and gets rid of the study dug given as tablet in participants with mild, moderate or severe hepatic impairment and participants with normal liver function matched for age-, gender-, weight and race. The study will enroll 36 male and female participants in the age between 18 and 79 years. Participants with mild or moderate hepatic impairment and the matching participants will take multiple oral doses of study drug depending on the study plan. Participants with severe hepatic impairment and the matching participants will take a single oral dose of study drug during the study. Data from this study will provide researcher important information for further development of the study drug in particular on dose recommendation for patients with hepatic impairment.

In animal, the GABAergic system modulates central sensitisation, which is a key phenomenon in pain processing. The development of GABAA agonists targeting the subunits of the GABAA receptor implicated in nociception, but not the subunit implicated in sedation is attractive as it opens new perspectives of testing the role of GABAergic modulation of pain processing in human volunteers. The purpose of this subproject is to test the effect of the specific α2 and α3 agonist but sparing α1 effect TPA023 on a human model of peripheral and central sensitisation and to correlate its pharmacodynamic effect with the pharmacokinetic of the compound. The results would contribute to clarify the potential role of these α2/α3 agonist but sparing α1drugs in clinical pain conditions.

This study will compare the effects of gabapentin alone, and gabapentin + donepezil given together in two types of experimental electrical pain tests in up to 48 healthy male subjects (after 24 recruited in the first cohort an interim analysis will be performed). The study is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, 3 was cross-over design study with incomplete block design and 4 treatment options. Placebo, gabapentin alone (lower dose and higher dose) or gabapentin (lower dose) with donepezil.

RATIONALE: A lidocaine patch may be effective in relieving numbness, tingling, and other symptoms of neuropathy. It is not yet known whether a lidocaine patch is effective in treating neuropathy in patients who have undergone surgery for cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying lidocaine patch to see how well it works compared to a placebo patch in relieving numbness, tingling, and other symptoms of neuropathy in patients who have undergone surgery for cancer.

This study was carried out to determine the effect of foot reflexology applied to diabetic patients with neuropathic pain on their quality of life, hope and pain levels. This research, which was designed as a randomized controlled and experimental study, was conducted between January 2022 and December 2022. It was determined that foot reflexology application increased the quality of life and hope level of diabetic patients with neuropathic pain and decreased the level of pain.

Researchers are looking for a new way to treat people suffering either from a condition where the bladder is unable to hold urine normally (overactive bladder), or a condition in which tissue similar to the tissue that normally lines the inside of the womb grows outside the womb (endometriosis) or a condition where the cough lasts longer than 8 weeks in adults (chronic cough). BAY1817080 is a new drug that is in development as a potential treatment for these conditions. In this trial, the researchers want to learn how a new liquid form of BAY1817080 is taken up by the body in a small number of healthy participants. The trial will include men who are aged 18 to 54. The trial will have 2 parts: A and B. The participants in Part A will stay at the trial site for about 5 days. During this time, the participants will take 1 dose of a liquid form of BAY1817080 by mouth. The doctors will take blood and urine samples and check the participants' health. Part A will be done so the researchers can see how much BAY1817080 gets into the participants' blood. The participants in Part B will stay at the trial site for about 16 days followed by a maximum of 4 re-admission visits over 24 hours at intervals of 7 days. These participants will take 1 dose of a liquid form of BAY1817080 labeled with a radioactive substance (carbon 14), which means it is "radiolabeled". This allows the researchers to understand how BAY1817080 moves through and leaves the body. During Part B, the doctors will take blood, urine, stool, and vomit samples if applicable. They will also check the participants' health.

BAY1817080 is currently under clinical development to treat pain related to unexplained chronic cough or chronic cough not affected by a treatment (refractory and/or unexplained chronic cough, RUCC), or a condition where the bladder is unable to hold urine normally (overactive bladder, OAB) or a condition in which tissue similar to the tissue that normally lines the inside of the womb grows outside the womb (endometriosis). Especially in elderly patients with OAB or RUCC, renal impairment is frequent. Renal impairment which co-occurs in especially in elderly patients with OAB or RUCC is a common condition in which the kidneys are not filtering the blood as well as they should. End stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis is a condition in which patients kidneys are no longer able to work as they should and require treatment to filter wastes from the blood. The goal of the study is to learn more about the safety of BAY1817080, how it is tolerated and the way the body absorbs, distributes and excretes the study drug given in men and women with moderate renal impairment and with those who have end stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis compared with matched participants with normal kidney function.
