Active clinical trials for "Neuralgia, Postherpetic"

Shingles is an outbreak of rash or blisters on the skin that is caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox. Some people experience continued pain even after the shingles rash and blisters have healed; this pain is known as postherpetic neuralgia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a new topical treatment for postherpetic neuralgia in adults.

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2 weeks of topical KD7040 versus placebo in the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia.

Study will assess efficacy, safety and tolerability of brivaracetam in post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN). Duration of 7 weeks divided into 3 periods with no up-titration, nor down-titration.

To evaluate long-term safety and efficacy of pregabalin in patients with postherpetic neuralgia.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of [S,S]-Reboxetine in the treatment of chronic pain following a shingles infection in patients who are Gabapentin treatment failures.

This study was performed to evaluate the local and systemic safety profile and the analgesic efficacy of long-term treatment with lidocaine 5% medicated plaster (Lido-Patch). The study was an open-label, multi-center, multiple-dose, Phase III study and comprised a main and an extension period. 161 participants who completed treatment in KF10004/01 (NCT03745404) and 98 newly recruited participants were enrolled.

Evaluation of the efficacy of LX9211 compared to placebo in reducing pain related to postherpetic neuralgia over an 11 week assessment period.

Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) has a high incidence rate and severely impact on quality of life and health care costs, interfering with physical, emotional and social functioning of affected patients. Current therapeutic options for PHN mainly include analgetic and local anaesthesia for selective nerve blockade. Nevertheless, the efficacy of analgetic is always limited by inevitable side effects, in which patients have poor compliance. Moreover, for some most suffering patients, the control of pain is often unsatisfactory despite the administration of complex combinations. As a non-pharmarceutical therapy, acupuncture is widely use for a wide range of pain conditions. Thus, it might be an alternative treatment for PHN. The aim of this multicenter randomized controlled trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture therapy in patients with postherpetic neuralgia.

This is a study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 4% and 8% w/w TV 45070 ointment compared with placebo ointment applied topically and twice daily to the area of PHN pain for 4 weeks in patients with PHN

This is a placebo-controlled, double blind, crossover study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KHK6188 in postherpetic neuralgia when administered orally for 2 weeks.
