Clinical Trials Related to Tussigon (Hydrocodone / Homatropine)
The Comparison of Supraperiosteal Nerve Block With Opiate Analgesia in Alleviating the Pain of Toothache [Not yet recruiting]
This study will compare the degree of pain control provided by two techniques for persons
with toothache in an emergency department. The two techniques include;
- standard oral narcotic pain medication
- numbing the tooth with local anesthetic by needle injection
Low-Dose Opiate Therapy for Discomfort in Dementia (L-DOT) [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a low dose an opiate pain medication is
effective for the treatment of discomfort in patients with advanced dementia. The study
medication is also known as Lortab and contains both a narcotic pain medication and the same
pain medication as contained in Tylenol. The study will also assess how well patients
tolerate this medication and will measure the impact that relief of discomfort has on
agitation and other symptoms. This study is an eight-week long clinical trial for
discomfort among veterans with advanced dementia who are admitted to a Nursing Home Care
Unit (NHCU) at the Tuscaloosa VA Medical Center.
Role of Pregabalin in Treatment of Post-Op Pain in Fracture Patients [Recruiting]
This is a randomized, prospective, double-blind pilot study designed to evaluate the
potential effectiveness of pregabalin in post-operative pain management for patients who
have sustained a fracture.
Evaluation of Stepped Care for Chronic Pain in Iraq/Afghanistan Veterans (ESCAPE) [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to determine if a stepped-care intervention makes pain symptoms
better and reduces activity limitations because of pain. Our two primary hypotheses are that
in OIF/OEF veterans with chronic pain:
1. Stepped care is more effective than usual care in reducing pain-related disability
2. Stepped care is more effective than usual care in reducing psychological distress
