Active clinical trials for "Peripheral Nervous System Diseases"

This 12 week study will examine the effects of daily Salsalate treatment on markers of neuropathic pain and intra-epidermal nerve fiber density. the study is being done in people with type 1 diabetes with signs and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common clinical dose-limiting adverse drug reaction, and the primary manifestations are different degree of neuromotor, sensorineural and autonomic nervous dysfunction.

The purpose of the study was to assess the efficacy and safety of NGX-4010 applied for 30 or 60 minutes for the treatment of painful HIV-associated neuropathy.

This is a sample-size-limited, randomized, blinded (subject and evaluator), sham acupuncture/placebo moxibustion (sham acu/placebo moxa) controlled clinical trial. The subjects in this study will be 50 men and women with HIV infection who have a diagnosis of distal symmetric peripheral neuropathy (DSP). Subjects will be randomized to one of two experimental intervention conditions: Condition 1: subjects receive acu/moxa treatment; and Condition 2 (Control Group): subjects receive sham acu/placebo moxa. All subjects in Conditions 1 and 2 will attend 16 scheduled sessions over 15 weeks, be administered the same instruments, and submit their daily symptom diaries for analysis. There will be six weeks of twice weekly treatment sessions, and three follow-up sessions at weeks 9, 11, and 15. All conditions will be identical in duration and be administered by licensed acupuncturists trained in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

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).

This trial was conducted at about 50 sites in Europe and has been clinically completed. Patients had symptoms of painful diabetic neuropathy for 6 months up to 5 years with an optimized diabetic control and at least moderate pain. Patients were not eligible with other chronic pain or any other medical or psychiatric condition, that would have jeopardized or compromised the patient's ability to participate in the trial. After a 2-week run-in phase patients were randomly assigned to one of three treatment arms. All patients who had completed the 6-week titration phase to reach their target dose entered a 12-week maintenance phase. At the end of the maintenance phase, subjects were offered the option of entering the open-label, follow-on trial. The change in pain was measured daily as well as interference of pain with sleep and general activity.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of pregabalin, duloxetine and amitriptyline compared with placebo in reducing pain in diabetic patients as assessed by Brief Pain Inventory (BPI).

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of C-peptide administration on nerve function in patients with type 1 diabetes and peripheral sensory neuropathy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of subcutaneous administration of immunoglobulin compared to intravenous treatment, for multifocal motor neuropathy NB. ONLY RECRUITING FROM DENMARK

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NGX-4010 administered at intervals of no less than 12 weeks over 1 year, based on the presence or return of pain, for the treatment of painful HIV-AN and PHN. Participation is limited to former study subjects from previous trials of NGX-4010 at selected sites.
