Active clinical trials for "Polyneuropathies"

This study is comparing the efficacy and tolerability of Qutenza with that of pregabalin in patients suffering from peripheral neuropathic pain. Treatment allocation will be to one of these treatments and the duration of the study will be about 10 weeks (assuming that from screening to treatment allocation takes 2 weeks). Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires about various aspects relating to their condition throughout the study. This study will include subjects suffering from Postherpetic Neuralgia, Peripheral Nerve Injury or Non Diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy.

Aims: To evaluate the effect of ezetimibe/simvastatin and rosuvastatin on oxidative stress and mitochondrial function in patients with DPN. Methods: We performed a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial in adult patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) who had Diabetic Polyneuropathy (DPN) evaluated by composite scores and nerve conduction studies (NCS), HBA1C <12% (108 mmol/mol), previous exclusion of other neuropathies. Ninety-eight persons with T2DM were allocated 1:1:1 to either placebo, ezetimibe/simvastatin 10/20 mg or rosuvastatin 20 mg for 16 weeks, and healthy controls (not randomized) were included for comparisons. Primary outcomes were lipid peroxidation (LPO), nitric oxide (NO), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC); secondary were clinical, NCS and metabolic parameters. Results were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) or standard error of the mean (SEM), frequencies and percentages. Non-parametric analysis was used.

This is a prospective, randomized, double blind, comparative, experimental controlled Phase 3 clinical trial to assess the efficacy, safety and superiority of F0343 (gabapentin combined with B vitamins) compared to gabapentin alone for treating neuropathic pain in subjects with chronic distal diabetic polyneuropathy.

The purpose of this study is to determine the best way to conduct clinical trials in patients with neuropathic pain (nerve pain). This study will see if generic pregabalin has any effect on neuropathic pain.

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is a new concept of mechanical ventilation. NAVA delivers assist to spontaneous breathing based on the detection of the electrical activity of the diaphragm. We study the effect of NAVA in patients with critical illness associated polyneuropathy / polymyopathy (CIP/M)

This study is a randomized, open-label multi-center evaluation of the tolerability of treatment with NGX-4010 in conjunction with pre-patch topical application of one of three 4% lidocaine-based local anesthetic products. Eligible subjects will have moderate to severe neuropathic pain secondary to painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN), postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) or HIV-associated neuropathy (HIV-AN), with average numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) scores during screening of 3 to 8 (inclusive).

The intent of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human), 10% Caprylate/Chromatography Purified (IGIV-C) in newly or previously diagnosed CIDP subjects. Eight courses of treatment with either placebo or IGIV-C will occur every 3 weeks. Neurological function will be measured by Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment (INCAT) scores. Patients who deteriorate or show no improvement between day 16 and month 6 will receive the alternate study drug for an additional 6 months.

The purpose of the study is to study the clinical effects of the investigational drug, SB-509 versus placebo in patients with diabetic neuropathy.

Sensorimotor diabetic polyneuropathy is a common and serious complication of longstanding diabetes mellitus. The therapeutic options are limited (pain therapy, antidepressants, physical measures using direct current such as two- / four-cell baths). In the present study, for the first time, after positive data from a pilot study, it is to be checked whether the effectiveness of an existing therapy can be extended by treatment with heated granulate stones in the rehabilitation setting.

To describe the demographics, clinical characteristics, treatment patterns and clinical outcomes of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), and heredofamilial amyloidosis (hATTR) adult patients at a single U.K. centre.
