To be eligible for the trial, subjects must have ongoing moderate to severe neuropathic pain related to a prior course of platinum and/or taxane chemotherapy and have no clinical evidence of actively progressive disease. The trial period will comprise a Screening period (up to 35 Days), randomization and a 4-day treatment period, followed by a 12-week follow up period (12 weeks total after initial treatment), and an End-of-Trial/Follow-up visit which will occur at Week 13. This is a study to research the effects of the study drug on neuropathic pain compared placebo.

Ginger for Nerve Pain

Lubbock, Texas
Neuropathic pain affects the quality of life of many Americans. Non-pharmacological strategies such as bioactive compounds in foods are being explored as therapeutics but can also serve as tools to better understand pain mechanisms. The previous study reported that ginger root extract supplementation palliated pain-spectrum behaviors in animals with neuropathic pain via the microbiota-gut-brain axis. The proposed study is primarily designed to use ginger supplementation for a better understanding of the role of microbiota-gut-brain interactions in sciatica states in a randomized, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled trial. Eighty participants with sciatica will be randomized to receive placebo (2000 mg starch daily) or ginger (2000 mg daily) for 8 weeks. This study will evaluate the effects of ginger supplementation on gut function measured as gut microbiota composition using 16S rRNA sequencing analysis, intestinal permeability based on plasma lipopolysaccharide binding protein and fecal zonulin using ELISA, and fecal metabolites using LC-MS/MS analysis (SA 1); on neuroinflammation in whole blood mRNA using nCounter® Neuroinflammation Panels analysis (SA 2); and on pain-associated outcomes and brain neuroplasticity by assessing functional (resting state-fMRI) and structural (Diffusion Tensor Imaging) connectivity (SA 3).

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether quantitative sensory testing (QST) can be used to classify participants into pain sub-groups and predict who will respond best to certain pain treatments in participants with painful peripheral neuropathy. The analgesic effect is evaluated by measuring pain intensity and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC). This study is a 3-period cross-over trial. This means researchers will compare 3 different drugs (pregabalin, duloxetine, and placebo) over a period of 19 weeks. Participants will: * Undergo a quantitative sensory testing (QST) exam. * Provide a blood sample. * Complete questionnaires on the computer. * Take the study drug as instructed.

This trial is testing a device called the SPRINT® PNS System, which sends small electrical signals to nerves in the neck. It aims to help people who suffer from chronic or acute pain. The electrical signals work by blocking pain messages from reaching the brain, potentially reducing pain. This method has been used for decades to treat chronic pain and has seen significant advancements in technology and application in recent years.

This Phase I, randomized, double-blind and placebo controlled study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK, and to preliminarily assess the efficacy of topically administered YJ001 in a multiple-ascending dose (MAD) fashion in the patients with DPNP. The study will be conducted at a single study center. In this study, 2 cohorts (N=24, 12 subjects for each cohort), each cohort will consist of 10 active and 2 placebo, with approximately equal numbers of male and female subjects. Each subject will be administered a single dose of YJ001 as multiple sprays topically on both feet and below the ankle in the morning on Day 1 and Day 2, and will be administered as twice daily doses once in the morning and the other in the evening (with an interval of 11 to 13 h) from Day 3 through Day 11.

This trial is testing if giving ketamine can help reduce severe nerve pain in patients with brachial plexus injuries. Ketamine works by blocking pain signals to the brain. The study aims to see if this reduces the need for other pain medications. Ketamine has been reported to enhance the pain-relieving effects of local anesthetics and is used primarily for patients who are tolerant to opioids and those with severe acute pain.

Trigeminal neuralgia (TGN) is a debilitating pain syndrome where electrical, shock- like jolts of pain affect the face. Trigeminal somatosensory evoked potentials (TSEPs) provide a promising modality for measuring the trigeminal sensory and nociceptive pathway by using peripheral stimulation of the trigeminal nerve (on the skin) and measuring low latency evoked potentials on the scalp (contralateral sensory cortex). While TSEPs have been measured in the past, it is not clear if implementing TSEPs into a routine neurosurgical rhizotomy procedure will be feasible. This is a prospective cohort study examining the feasibility of routinely performing TSEPs during rhizotomies for TGN.

This study is aimed to evaluate outpatient ketamine infusion within a military chronic neuropathic pain population and its effect on PTSD. Currently, this is a pilot study with 30 participants. Participants will be randomized to (1) a moderate dose ketamine, (2) moderate dose ketamine +Mg, or (3) a magnesium control group. Participants will complete self-reported pain and PTSD questionnaires throughout the \~24-week study period. The outlined strategy will provide evidence for the utility of ketamine in neuropathic pain management and pain associated comorbidities within a military population.

This trial tests if cannabis derivatives (THC, CBD, and their combination) can reduce chronic diabetic nerve pain in Veterans. Veterans often don't get enough relief from standard treatments, so this study aims to find out if cannabis can help. The trial will test if these cannabis compounds are effective. Cannabis has been studied for its potential to alleviate pain in various conditions, including diabetic neuropathy, but its long-term safety and efficacy remain uncertain.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Neuralgia 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 Neuralgia 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 Neuralgia 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 Neuralgia 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 Neuralgia 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 Neuralgia clinical trials ?

Most recently, we added Pregabalin + Duloxetine for Peripheral Neuropathy, tACS for Neuropathic Pain After SCI and Nerve Interface for Post-Mastectomy Pain to the Power online platform.
