3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of Diclofenac Sodium Topical Gel (DSTG) on injection site reaction following self-administer glatiramer acetate in people with Multiple Sclerosis.
This is an open-label, single-center, randomized, split-face, controlled study to assess the effect of comfort intervention on pain during treatment injection compared against non-comfort intervention.
This is a randomized, double-blind, single-center clinical trial comparing normal saline and bacteriostatic saline subcutaneous injection within a single subject. While both normal saline and bacteriostatic saline can be administered intravenously, this study aims to investigate their effects following subcutaneous injection. While benzyl alcohol (the bacteriostatic component of bacteriostatic saline) is known to have local anesthetic properties, it also is an irritant and can cause inflammation at the injection site. Based on clinical experience investigators anticipate that a normal saline injection will cause a mild stinging sensation and no subsequent inflammation. In contrast, subcutaneous injection of bacteriostatic saline will not cause stinging but will cause a mild degree of inflammation which is manifested as mild tenderness and mild ecchymosis at the site of injection.
