NCT06225960
This is a prospective, multicenter observational study evaluating the efficacy of ganglion stimulation (medical device) in cases of post-herpetic neuropathy. This study introduces recent methods of phenotypic stratification of postherpetic neuropathy into the field of interventional pain therapy. The aim is to identify which clinical expression of this diverse pathology can derive the greatest benefits from an otherwise effective but expensive therapy such as ganglion stimulation. The study protocol includes the application of a common clinical practice, already in use for several years at the promoting center and participating centers (as well as internationally scientifically codified). It is supported by an innovative stratification of clinical expression (phenotype of the disease), recently introduced in the literature. The study aims to identify, through careful clinical evaluation, predictive indices of the greatest success in invasive ganglion stimulation therapy, a treatment associated with significant system costs and considerable inconvenience for the patient. The results of the experimentation will allow the codification of evaluative clinical pathways to predict a higher success index in certain clinical expressions of postherpetic neuropathy compared to others. This will help reduce the costs of implant trials and enable defining the real objective of the proposed therapy in consultation with the patient.
NCT07367152
This retrospective cohort study will review medical records of patients treated with intercostal nerve radiofrequency for intercostal neuralgia. The goal is to identify patient and clinical factors that are associated with treatment success after the procedure. Outcomes will be assessed using pain measures documented during routine follow-up visits, along with any recorded adverse events. No additional visits, tests, or interventions are required because this study uses previously collected clinical data.
NCT01106716
The purpose of this study is to determine whether KAI-1678 is effective in the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia pain
NCT07000409
To investigate the effectiveness of ultra-Sound guided Erector spinae block (ESB) with Betamethasone as an adjuvant to standard medical protocol in the management of truncal chronic post herpetic neuralgia.
NCT06896994
To assess the 1-week effects and safety of esketamine in combination with pregabalin and duloxetine to relieve pain in patients with postherpetic Neuralgia(PHN).
NCT06914193
This trial's primary objective is to compare the analgesic efficacy of esketamine in combination with pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) of dorsal root ganglion(DRG) against that of PRF monotherapy in patients with postherpetic neuralgia(PHN).
NCT06232486
1. The correlations of serum vitamin D level, serum calcium level and osteoporosis degree with disease severity, treatment response, incidence of Post-Herpes zoster(PHN) and disease prognosis in Herpes zoster(HZ) patients were studied. 2. To investigate the role of inflammation-related factors and immune-related factors in the occurrence and development of HZ mediated by low vitamin D level.
NCT05357677
This is a Phase II, international multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study to assess the efficacy of SR419 in PHN subjects.
NCT00904020
Patients with a diagnosis of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), diabetic neuropathy (DN), or low back pain (LBP) who were currently receiving an analgesic regimen that contained gabapentin participated in a Phase IV clinical trial to assess the effectiveness of Lidoderm® administered once daily (q24h) after 14 day in the treatment of PHN, DN, or LBP in patients who had a partial response to a regimen containing gabapentin.
NCT05140863
Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of HSK16149 capsules in Chinese Postherpetic Neuralgia Following 12 Weeks Treatment in Comparison to Placebo
NCT04594226
Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) has a high incidence rate and severely impact on quality of life and health care costs, interfering with physical, emotional and social functioning of affected patients. Current therapeutic options for PHN mainly include analgetic and local anaesthesia for selective nerve blockade. Nevertheless, the efficacy of analgetic is always limited by inevitable side effects, in which patients have poor compliance. Moreover, for some most suffering patients, the control of pain is often unsatisfactory despite the administration of complex combinations. As a non-pharmarceutical therapy, acupuncture is widely use for a wide range of pain conditions. Thus, it might be an alternative treatment for PHN. The aim of this multicenter randomized controlled trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture therapy in patients with postherpetic neuralgia.
NCT03708653
Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a common condition and affecting 5 to 30% of the herpes zoster patients. In some cases, the pain remained refractory after first and second line treatment for herpes zoster. This suggests that there may be genetic variants that make some patients susceptible to PHN. Using saliva samples from herpes zoster patients the investigators are going to analyze the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes that are known to be involved in pain and PHN.
NCT01416116
The Summary of product characteristics (SmPC) for QUTENZA advises that topical anaesthetic is applied prior to the application of QUTENZA. This is a multi-center, randomized, assessor-blinded study which will investigate the use of an oral analgesic as an alternative form of pre-treatment for QUTENZA.
NCT02228928
The efficacy and safety of the low concentration \[0.65% (50 µg/cm2) and 1.25% (100 µg/cm2)\] capsaicin patches and compared them to conventional 0.075% capsaicin cream and placebo patch in patients suffering from peripheral neuropathy
NCT02868801
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Efficacy and safety of pregabalin sustained release tablet versus placebo for postherpetic neuralgia.
NCT02737527
This study compares the efficacy of the ultrasound with fluoroscope in guidance of lumbar sympathetic block (LSB). The goals of the study are; 1) To show that US-guided LSB results in shorter performance time compared to fluoroscope-guided LSB, 2) To evaluate the efficacy and safety of US-guided LSB, and 3) To verify that US-guided LSB has similar success rates to fluoroscope-guided LSB. 50 patients who are supposed to undergo LSB due to sympathetically maintained pain, satisfy criteria of inclusion and exclusion, and voluntarily sign the informed consent will be enrolled.
NCT01251211
Pain due to peripheral nerve lesion remains extremely difficult to treat and current treatments have onl moderate efficacy and/or side effects. The investigators have previously demonstrated the long term efficacy of Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) in a small group of patients with post-traumatic/postherpetic neuralgia and allodynia. The present study aims to a/ confirm the efficacy of repeated applications of BTX-A in a larger group of patients with peripheral neuropathic pain with or without allodynia(primary outcome) ; b/ evaluate its mechanisms of action ; c/analyse the predictors of response ;d/analyse whether the second injection is associated with a therapeutic gain. This will be a randomized placebo controlled study. A total of 30 patients will be randomized to receive either BTX-A (subcutaneous injection in the painful area) or placebo. Each injection will be repeated within at least 3 months depending on the duration of efficacy. Skin punch biopsies will be performed before and 1 month after BTX-A administration. The investigators postulate that this study will confirm the clinical efficacy and good safety of repeated administrations of BTX-A in the treatment of peripheral neuropathic pain.
NCT01688947
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of 2 dose levels of V116517 versus placebo.
NCT01302275
The purpose of this trial is to determine if the effect of oxcarbazepine on chronic peripheral nerve pain depends on the supposed mechanism of the pain, ie. if oxcarbazepine mainly relieve pain in patients with irritable nerves.
NCT01124617
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of tapentadol extended-release (ER) tablets in Japanese participants with moderate to severe chronic (lasting a long time) pain due to painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (pain in the extremities related to diabetes-induced nerve damage) or postherpetic neuralgia (pain lasting after condition has healed).
