Summary
The objectives of this study are to determine efficacy and safety of 0. 75% topical capsaicin
nanoparticle preparation versus placebo in patient with painful diabetic neuropathy.
Clinical Details
Official title: Study of Topical Preparation of Capsaicin Nanoparticle in Patient With Painful Diabetic Neuropathy
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
Primary outcome: Pain relief from pain score reduction, using visual analog scale (VAS)
Detailed description:
Painful diabetic neuropathy is the most common cause of neuropathic pain. 0. 075% topical
capsaicin has been used to treat the pain. Because of high concentration, conventional
capsaicin topical preparation causing burning sensation and required several time of
applications per day.
The nanoparticle of capsaicin topical preparation was developed with expectation of
remaining efficacy, minimizing burning sensation and improving convenience of use.
