Study To Evaluate Efficacy, Safety And Tolerability Of Lyrica In Patients With Painful Diabetic...

Diabetic NeuropathyPainful

Pregabalin has proven effective in previous clinical trails in other countries in relieving neuropathic pain associated with postherpetic neuralgia and painful diabetic neuropathy. This study is being conducted according to China registration requirement to submit a reapplication with new local diabetic peripheral neuropathy study as a commitment plus the existing data to apply for Lyrica "pain associated with postherpetic neuralgia" indication after Lyrica "pain associated with postherpetic neuralgia" is approved.

Physical Therapy in Women With Interstitial Cystitis

Interstitial CystitisPainful Bladder Syndrome

There are many different treatments that doctors recommend for patients with IC/PBS. Only a few research studies have been done to evaluate treatments given to patients. Treatment choices can be of two types: drug therapy and non-drug therapy. The two treatments used in this study will be of the non-drug therapy type. One of the treatments being used in this study is called Myofascial Tissue Manipulation. This is a kind of physical therapy that is designed to work on specific muscles and tissue layers in a particular part of the body. In this study, this treatment will focus on the areas around the pelvis and the pelvic floor. The treatment will involve the physical therapist's use of hands and fingers to target specific muscles and tissues located within your pelvis, rectum, and/or vagina (the pelvic floor) as well as muscles and layers of tissue in your abdomen and legs. The other treatment being used in this study is Global Therapeutic Massage. This treatment involves the physical therapist's use of classic Western body massage techniques on the muscles of your arms, legs, hands, neck, shoulders, back, stomach, buttocks, and feet to create an overall feeling of well being. The purpose of this research study is to find out if Pelvic Physical Therapy is safe and effective on treating symptoms in women with interstitial cystitis as compared to a full body therapeutic massage. This study will also measure the lasting effects of the treatment up to 3 months after your last study treatment.

Evaluation of Pain Intensity During Bone Marrow Biopsy Performed With Inhalation of Pre-Mixed 50...

Pain

Bone marrow biopsy is a painful medical procedure often performed with local anesthetic. Therefore a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial was carried out in 330 adult patients who where referred for bone marrow biopsy and aspiration. 164 were assigned to inhale an equimolar mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen and 166 to inhale a placebo. Pain measurement used visual-analogue pain scales, which involve rating the intensity of pain on a horizontal ruler

Pain Medicine for Wound Care Procedures

Wound CarePain Intensity4 more

This is a randomized double-blind study to determine if the administration of a small-dose of ketamine (an anesthetic)added to morphine (an opioid) contributes to reducing pain intensity during open wound care procedure (WCP)in patients who have had a traumatic injury and are in an Intensive Care Unit. Patients will be randomized to receive morphine plus saline (a placebo) or morphine plus ketamine before the WCP. The second time the patient is scheduled for WCP (no less than 24 hours), patients will be crossed over to receive the treatment they did not receive the first time. It is hypothesized that patients who receive the combination of morphine and ketamine will have better pain control during the procedure than patients who just receive morphine.

Treatment of Painful Diabetic Neuropathy With Photon Stimulation

Diabetic NeuropathyPainful3 more

1. Objectives: To assess the efficacy of Photon Stimulation compared with placebo, in treating the pain of diabetic neuropathy. To show that Photonic Stimulation for the treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy is cost effective compared to traditional medical interventions. The latter will be explored by an extensive search of the literature and from an equal number of patients being treated in traditional medical practices using traditional medical interventions. At the conclusion of the study the data will be analyzed for cost-benefits and the possibility of crafting a best-practices approach to treat these syndromes that cost billions of dollars a year in health care expenses and lost productivity. 2. Research Design This is a double blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled study of 120 patients with painful diabetic neuropathy. These 120 will be randomly assigned treatments utilizing Photon Therapy, using a defined treatment protocol. We expect that some patients will drop out, and our goal is 100 treated patients, for statistical purposes. The Photon Therapy group will be split into two groups, one group that receives Active Photon Therapy and one group that will be treated with the same type of equipment that has been modified to emit no infrared photons (Non Active Photon Therapy Group ("Placebo")). The patients in the "Non Active Photon Therapy Group" will be offered an Active Photon Treatment Session after completion of the study. The patients in the Photon Therapy Groups will be randomized. There will also be an Historical Control Group of patients, fifty, will have received traditional medical interventions (e.g., narcotics, seizure medications) in traditional medical practices. Data from these individuals will be used to calculate potential cost savings. 3. Methodology: Subjects who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria and have signed a valid informed consent will be eligible to participate in the study. After screening, subjects in the Photon Therapy groups (both active and nonactive) will undergo four treatment sessions. The first treatment session will vary from the second, third and fourth. During all treatment session, each patient will be imaged with the TIP Infrared Camera before, and after treatment. Infrared imaging can visualize skin temperature changes in a noninvasive manner (2). The first treatment will utilize slightly different protocol than subsequent visits, reduced Photon dosage, 120 instead of 240 joules. Proprioception and protective sensation, characterized by the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test, and visual and analog pain scoring will also be evaluated before and after each Photon Therapy treatment. 4. Finding: To date, we have just completed 120 patients, using a block randomization scheme not previously reported in this field. We have collected data on nerve function, pain, quality of life, and skin circulation. The data will remain stored until the study is complete to preserve the blinded nature of the project. Data analysis is still incomplete. 4. Clinical Significance Diabetic neuropathy is a chronic and progressive condition that potentially leads to disabling pain, and worse, amputation, for many individuals in the United States each year. Present treatments utilize antiseizure medications, opiate analgesics, and antidepressants, and are inconsistently effective. Development of a new treatment strategy potentially could have significant benefit for a great many patients.
