Active clinical trials for "Neuralgia"

The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of greater occipital nerve block and cervical injections with lidocaine

This study evaluates the long term pain relief after deep brain stimulation on posterior-superior insula (PSI) in patients with refractory peripheral neuropathic pain who responded to real but not to sham non-invasive stimulation by deep repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation - PSI-drTMS.

This study is a nationwide cross-sectional survey on pain and satisfaction after knee arthroplasty (KA). Please find the full protocol uploaded at ClinicalTrials.gov The goal of this observational study is to study pain and satisfaction in patients operated with knee arthroplasty. The main question it aims to answer are: What is the incidence of persistent postsurgical pain in unselected knee arthroplasty patients What is the level of satisfaction in unselected knee arthroplasty patients? Participants will be asked to answer a 22-item questionnaire.

Most of the literature found on whole body vibrations(WBV) instead of focal muscle vibrations (FMV) in diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients. The studies found on the effects of focal vibrations could not be generalised on the huge population of diabetes mellitus (DM) induced neuropathic pain because of small sample size and due to subordinate studies i.e, pilot studies done on the focal vibrations in which 3 different modes of vibrations is used without comparing with the control group. These studies are not much valuable in literature as well as for clinical purposes due to lack of control group. As mentioned in previous studies that better results achieved with the WBV on pain in diabetic peripheral neuropathyso that the hypothesis can be made that when FMV directly applies on the focal region that may influence the pain and/or peripheral neuropathy status.

The investigators have shown in incomplete SCI patients that long-term paired associative stimulation is capable of restoring voluntary control over some paralyzed muscles and enhancing motor output in the weak muscles. In this study, the investigators will administer long-term paired associative stimulation to patients with incomplete cervical level SCI and SCI- associated neuropathic pain, and investigate its effectiveness for neuropathic pain treatment.

Objective: To investigate the effects of a cognitive behavioural intervention targeting specific fears in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy, on physical activity and quality of life.

To assess the effect of 3 consecutive days of one-hour administration of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen 50%/50% (EMONO) versus placebo as Oxygen/Nitrogen 22%/78% (synthetic medical air), in add-on therapy to chronic analgesic treatments, on average pain intensity in patients with chronic peripheral neuropathic pain. A total of 250 randomised patients to be included in all the participating centres, i.e., 125 randomised patients in each of the 2 study groups treatments

Although mesh fixation has been associated to an increased incidence of nerve injury and involves increased operative costs, many surgeons feel that fixation is necessary to reduce the risk of hernia recurrence. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of laparoscopic herniorrhaphies performed with and without mesh fixation at our institution.

The purpose of these study is to compare the effectivity of the Median Nerve Neural Mobilization technique to the complete absence of treatment in a group of patients who suffer cervicobrachial pain.

Investigate the efficacy and safety of DS-5565 in subjects with Post-Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN) in comparison to placebo
