Botox for Neuropathic Pain
Lexington, KentuckyOnabotulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) is a potent neurotoxin that has been reported to have an effect on afferent (sensory) neurons independent of its action on muscle tone and secretory glands at the periphery.In human studies, the use of BoNT-A has proven to reduce the severity and intensity of attacks in chronic tension type headaches and chronic neck pain. The PREEMPT study concluded that BoNT-A could be used as a preventive therapy in chronic migraine patients and FDA approval was obtained. According to the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), BoNT-A is recommended for the management of peripheral neuropathic pain with subcutaneous administration of 50-200 units (50-200U) to onabotulinum toxin A to the painful neuropathic area every 3 months as a third line of treatment. To our knowledge, there are no clinical trials published investigating the effect of intraoral administration of BoNT-A in continuous dentoalveolar neuropathic pain. The aim of this pilot study is to investigate the potential therapeutic effect of intraoral administration of BoNT-A in patients suffering from continuous neuropathic pain.
HYPOTHESIS:
There will be statistically significant differences in reported pain intensity after the intraoral administration of BOTOX® in patients suffering from chronic continuous dentoalveolar neuropathic pain.
A single subject experiment will be conducted with 10 patients where 50 U of BonT-A will be injected into the painful dentoalveolar area. Eligible subjects will complete a pain diary indicating their pain intensity by means of a visual analog scale during one month to establish a baseline. After the first injection, subjects will continue to monitor the VAS daily for 3 months and the infiltration will be repeated a second time following the same protocol. Patient's response will be monitored with the daily pain diary.

Cannabinoids + Anti-inflammatory Diet for Neuropathic Pain
London, OntarioNeuropathic pain is a common complication following spinal cord injury (SCI) that significantly decreases quality of life. Treatment options are limited, and current treatments can have significant side effects. Those with SCI have identified a need for additional treatment options, particularly those that are not medications. Nabilone and an anti-inflammatory diet are two treatments that may provide pain relief while being better tolerated. This study will evaluate the benefits of these treatments for neuropathic pain after SCI. Study participants will receive either an anti-inflammatory diet or a placebo diet, and nabilone or a placebo for 4 weeks. It is expected that an anti-inflammatory diet and nabilone will significantly decrease pain intensity and improve function. The combination of both treatments together is expected to have a greater effect than each alone.

Erector Spinae Plane Block for Back Pain
Chicago, IllinoisThe goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an erector spinae plane block (ESPB; a type of nerve block) works to reduce pain in adults presenting to the emergency department with low back pain. It will also learn if the ESPB reduces pain, disability, and return to work at 7 days. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Does the ESPB reduce short-term pain in participants with low back pain?
2. Does the ESPB reduce longer-term pain, reduce disability, and improve return to work and activities in participants with low back pain?
Researchers will compare ESPB to a placebo (an injection that does not involve a nerve block) to see if ESPB works to treat low back pain.
Participants will:
Receive either the ESPB or a placebo injection in the emergency department Report their pain scores for up to 120 minutes Report their pain, disability, and return to work at 7 days

Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Pain
Toronto, OntarioSpinal cord stimulation (SCS) relies on stimulation of pain-relieving pathways in the spinal cord to treat chronic neuropathic pain. Traditional paresthesia-based SCS (PB-SCS) relies on providing analgesia through stimulation of spinal cord dorsal columns but it is often associated with attenuation of analgesic benefit and lack of acceptance of paresthesias. Recently introduced three different paresthesia-free (PF-SCS) modes of stimulation aim to overcome limitations of PB-SCS. Several questions regarding PB and PF SCS modes remain unanswered including the mechanisms of therapeutic benefit, criteria for selecting patients likely to benefit, and long-term outcomes. A concerted effort is required to understand and optimize utilization of SCS. This project has the twin goals of using neuroimaging techniques to understand mechanisms that underlies analgesic benefit from PB/PF-SCS modes and to identify criteria for selecting patients based on monitoring of pain and its related domains in patients undergoing SCS trials. Achieving these objectives will increase probability of analgesic benefit while minimizing adverse effects and knowledge gains from this study will be applicable to other therapies for chronic pain conditions.

Resiniferatoxin for Chronic Pain in Advanced Cancer
Bethesda, MarylandThis study will examine the safety of giving the experimental drug, resiniferatoxin (RTX), to treat severe pain in patients with advanced cancer. RTX is a chemical extracted from a cactus-like plant. It is similar to capsaicin, the active ingredient in hot pepper. RTX has relieved pain and reduced the need for pain medication in several animal experiments. It works by destroying nerves that transmit pain information.
People at least 18 years of age with severe pain from advanced cancer at or below the level of the chest that cannot be controlled with standard treatments may be eligible for this study. Participants undergo the following procedures:
Pretreatment Visit
Before beginning treatment with RTX, patients give a medical history and undergo a physical examination that includes:
* Electrocardiogram (EKG)
* Blood draw
* Urinalysis
* Neurological examinations
* Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR)
* Eye examination
* MRI
* Urology assessment
* Pregnancy test, when appropriate
* Questionnaires to collect information on health, personality, mood, pain levels and symptoms.
2-Day Hospitalization
Patients are hospitalized for 2 days for RTX injection and monitoring, as follows:
* RTX injection: RTX is injected in the operating room under general anesthesia. It is given through a catheter placed in the patient s spine. The catheter is also used to obtain samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) the clear fluid that bathes the spinal cord. The fluid is examined to assess drug effects and side effects, chemical changes in the content of the CSF associated with RTX, and how RTX is handled by the body.
* Post-injection monitoring, including:
* Surveys about symptoms such as pain or weakness
* Neurological examinations
* Blood and CSF sampling
* EKG
* AEs
Outpatient followup
* Vitals
* Blood draw, Urinalysis, neurological and sensory testing, EKG on days 7, 14 and 30 after the injection
* MRI scans of the head and back, Urology assessment and PEFR on day 15 after the injection
* Eye examination
* Follow-up phone calls monthly for 6 months

Cryoneurolysis for Rib Fractures
Toronto, OntarioTraumatic rib fractures (i.e., broken ribs caused by a physical injury) are common and very painful. They also often lead to serious complications, more time spent in hospital, and can even lead to death. Even after rib fractures have healed, they can lead to long-term pain and a lower quality of life.
A technology called cryoneurolysis, which acts to freeze nerves causing pain using a small tool which can turn very cold, is a promising new way to manage rib fracture pain. This study is a test with a small number of people to see if it is feasible to use this technology for patients with rib fractures. If this is successful, we will recruit more people for a larger study to see if cryoneurolysis, along with standard pain control techniques, is better at stopping pain, compared to just the normal techniques alone. Participants in our study will be asked to rate their pain, and record pain medications that they take for 3 months after their pain procedure.

Auricular Neuromodulation for Fibromyalgia
Decatur, GeorgiaPENFS (percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulation) is an FDA-cleared acupuncture-like therapy applied to the external ear targeting several cranial nerve branches including the auricular branch of the vagus nerve to improve pain, physical function, and reduce symptoms of opioid withdrawal. PENFS has been previously shown to provide improvements in fibromyalgia, a difficult to treat chronic pain syndrome, which correlate with changes observed using a special kind of MRI called resting state functional connectivity MRI (rs-fcMRI) that evaluates brain activity at rest. The goals of this study are to rigorously test the initial promising results of PENFS in a much larger group of Veterans suffering from fibromyalgia and to identify potential mechanisms of PENFS effects. Further developing non-pharmacologic therapies for pain can help to improve quality of life and function for those suffering from fibromyalgia and decrease reliance on opioids and other drugs that have numerous side effects for individuals suffering from chronic pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Nerve Pain clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Nerve Pain clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Nerve Pain trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Nerve Pain is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Nerve Pain medical study ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Nerve Pain clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Spinal Cord Stimulation for Postoperative Pain, CBD for Neuropathic Pain in Spinal Cord Injury and Virtual Reality Self-Hypnosis for Pain Relief to the Power online platform.
