Active clinical trials for "Neuralgia"

The purpose of this study is to compare the amount of acetylcholine release after a single injection of clonidine in normal volunteers and individuals with neuropathic pain.

The purpose of this study is evaluate the difference between two doses of gabapentin enacarbil (XP13512/GSK1838262), hereafter referred to as GEn, on pain associated with post-herpetic neuralgia.

Acupuncture has been used with good results for many years at Toronto Rehabilitation Institute Lyndhurst Centre (Toronto, ON, Canada), Parkwood Hospital (London, ON, Canada) and GF Strong Rehabilitation Institute (Vancouver, BC, Canada) to reduce burning pain in individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI). This multi-centre RCT will test an acupuncture protocol for treatment of burning pain in 40 people with burning pain in SCI, using a sham acupuncture protocol as the control. Objectives of Study: To determine the feasibility of conducting a real acupuncture vs. sham acupuncture trial in a multi-centre study using the Lyndhurst Central Neuropathic Pain Acupuncture Protocol (LCCNPAP). This will inform a larger study which will directly evaluate the effect of the LCCNPAP on pain and Quality of Life (QOL) in individuals with SCI. To determine which outcome measures are most responsive and the amount of change that could be expected, with respect to pain and QOL, for the larger study. To obtain preliminary data to determine subject numbers for future studies evaluating the effect of the acupuncture protocol.

This study will compare the efficacy and the safety of ABT-894 (1mg, 2mg or 4mg capsules) administered BID to placebo in the treatment of DNP. Another treatment arm will be Duloxetine 60mg administered once daily (QD). Approximately 275 subjects will be enrolled into the study at approximately 50 sites in both the United States and Europe. The study will be divided into the following periods: Screening/Washout (21 days) followed by a Baseline Visit, an 8-week Treatment Period and a 1-week Follow-up Visit.

To test the non-inferiority of duloxetine monotherapy as a treatment for the management of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain as compared to pregabalin treatment among patients who have not had an adequate response to gabapentin.

The purpose of this study was to determine the analgesic effect of GW493838 in patients with post-herpetic neuralgia or peripheral nerve injury caused by trauma or surgery.

To determine if duloxetine 60mg up to 120mg daily can work in treating pain from Diabetic Neuropathy.

The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of NGX-4010 applied for 60 minutes for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN).

All neuropathic chronicle pains are difficult to treat. Currently many patients are not relieved by electric stimulations of central nervous system, existing. Recently cortical stimulation had a development important and benefit effects are proven. In this study we evaluate medico-economic impact of this treatment.

The purpose of this study is to study if sildenafil (Viagra) is effective in improving neuropathic pain. This will be an open label study at 3 doses of sildenafil (25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg). If this study suggests efficacy, the information will be used to plan a placebo controlled, double-blind study in the future.
