Active clinical trials for "Neurogenic Inflammation"

The main purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of repeated administrations of BoNT-A in subjects with NP attributable to carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) through a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Further research has shown that BoNT-A has analgesic properties independently from its action on muscle tone, possibly by acting on neurogenic inflammation. Therefore, the study drug may be better than other treatments surgical or non-surgical currently available for the treatment of CTS.

This study will serve as a pilot study to determine the efficacy and safety of topical gabapentin in the treatment of symptomatic scarring alopecia.

The aim of this study is to quantitatively characterize the effects of L-menthol as a topical counter-irritant on cutaneous pain and hyperalgesia provoked by topical application of the TRPA1-agonist trans-cinnamaldehyde (CA) in healthy human volunteers.

This study measures SP, CGRP and VEGF expression in human dental pulp under occlusal trauma induced by occlusal interferences under moderate orthodontic forces or under a combination of occlusal trauma and moderate orthodontic forces because in clinical reality, patients under orthodontic treatment experience a combination of these stimuli on their pulp tissue.

The main purpose of this study is to assess the induction of neuroinflammation in brain regions of interest for learning and memory in adult patients undergoing urological surgery under general anesthesia

Regulatory effects of some neuropeptides substance-P (SP), neurokinin-A (NKA), calcitonin gene-linked peptide (CGRP) and neuropeptide-Y (NPY) )on inflammatory responses in periodontal disease has been described; however, the impact of neuropeptide levels are not clearly defined in healthy and diseased peri-implant tissues.ın order to evaluate the situation, thirty-nine implants that have been loaded over the past 12 months and their symmetrically matching teeth were evaluated using a split-mouth study design. Clinical periodontal examinations included the Silness-Löe plaque index, Löe-Silness gingival index, bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level parameters were determined. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF)/Periimplant sulcular fluid (PISF) samples were collected, and the levels of the neuropeptides were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Correlations between GCF/PISF neuropeptide levels and the clinical examination parameters were evaluated in the peri-implant/periodontal soft tissues.

Polyneuropathy is a complication of diabetes mellitus which leads to decreased sensation in arms and legs. This in turn can lead to the development of (infected) foot ulcers. Charcot's disease can also be a consequence of polyneuropathy. Patients with Charcot's disease suddenly develop a red, warm and swollen foot, like an infection. Charcot's disease leads to foot fractures. After these fractures have healed, the shape of the foot can be dramatically altered. This altered shape of the foot increases the risk of developing foot ulcers. Nerves are important in regulating the inflammatory response. This study aims to investigate whether the inflammatory response is different in patients with polyneuropathy with and without a history of Charcot's disease.

The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of what causes urinary urgency in women by asking about different symptoms and measuring biomarker levels in their urine. Understanding the underlying causes of urinary urgency will allow us to develop treatment options to better take care of women with urinary urgency.
