Active clinical trials for "Neuralgia"

The purpose of this study is to assess the reproducibility and the effect of gabapentin on quantitative sensory testing assessments in neuropathic pain subjects.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of ataciguat versus placebo in reducing pain intensity in patients with neuropathic pain. The secondary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of ataciguat versus placebo.

To investigate if topical amitriptyline 2%, ketamine 1%, and lidocaine 5% in pluronic lecitine organogel (AKL in PLO gel) can improve management of neuropathic pain from radiation skin reactions adjunctively or better than standard treatment.

This research study will test to see if people who receive pregabalin after their spinal cord injury will develop less nerve damage pain than people who do not receive it.

This study is an open-label multi-center to evaluate the tolerability of treatment with NGX-4010 use with pre-patch topical application of a topical anesthetic cream. This is an open-label study. No hypothesis testing will be performed. Eligible subjects will have PHN and a level of pain at an intensity level deemed appropriate for open-label treatment with NGX-4010, as judged by the Investigator. Painful areas of up to a maximum of 1000 cm2 will be pre-treated with lidocaine (2.5%)/prilocaine (2.5%) cream for 60 minutes followed by a single, 60-minute application of NGX-4010. Subjects may be on chronic pain medication regimens, but currently will not be using any topical pain medications on the affected areas, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, menthol, methyl salicylate, local anesthetics including Lidoderm® (lidocaine patch 5%), steroids or capsaicin.

Patients with a diagnosis of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), diabetic neuropathy (DN), or low back pain (LBP) who were currently receiving an analgesic regimen that contained gabapentin participated in a Phase IV clinical trial to assess the effectiveness of Lidoderm® administered once daily (q24h) after 14 day in the treatment of PHN, DN, or LBP in patients who had a partial response to a regimen containing gabapentin.

This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel, Phase 4 clinical trial to compare efficacy and safety of gabapentin/B-complex versus pregabalin in diabetic peripheral neuropathy pain (DPNP) management.

To evaluate the safety of the long-term use of pregabalin.

It involves delivering a train of magnetic pulses, 5 at each time, to the brain. In the present study, we are using the same method to treat severe pain due to nerve conditions. You will be given up to 1000 pulses in total over the spine in the lower back (Spinal Magnetic Stimulation or SMS). Each train will be given in 10-second intervals. You will have SMS on a single day. You will be given SMS pulses at 1 or 10 per second. No stimulation will be given over the head. You will be assessed before and after the study for up to 1 week. Your usual medical treatment will be continued

Neuropathic pain is caused by a virus commonly associated with chicken pox. This virus may become dormant in the nervous system and later reactivate causing herpes zoster, also known as "shingles". Post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a persistent pain in the area of healed skin lesions. This study will test the safety and efficacy of treating PHN patients with the analgesic patch, Bupivacaine TTS (Eladur™).
