2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The aim of this project is to evaluate the effects of the anticonvulsant drug lamotrigine (trade name Lamictal) on neuropathic facial pain or neuralgia using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
This study is a single center, placebo-controlled, double blind, randomized, phase II pilot to evaluate the efficacy of erenumab-aooe in the management of trigeminal neuropathic pain comparing erenumab-aooe vs Placebo. A total of 40 patients (20 each arm) aged 18-65 years old of either sex, and any race or ethnicity, presenting trigeminal neuropathic pain will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 parallel, double-blind clinical trial, to receive either Erenumab or placebo. Participants will attend 6 clinic visits (Visit 0-Visit 5) over a period of 21 weeks. Changes in pain intensity and other pain related outcomes of trigeminal neuropathic pain will be assessed. Blood samples will be collected, and participants will need to keep a daily symptom diary and answer some other questionnaires.
