About this study

Official title: Modeling Kappa Opioid Analgesic Mechanisms in Chronic Orofacial Pain Disorders

Patients with chronic masticatory muscle pain (i.e., pain greater than three months) or patients with burning mouth syndrome participate in this study. The aim of the study is to compare the pain killing effectiveness of nalbuphine, a narcotic pain killer, administered with either placebo or naloxone, a drug used to treat opiate overdose. A second goal is to determine if there are sex differences in these two drug regimens. Drugs will be administered with single-use intranasal spray devices. All participants will receive two sprays (one spray per nostril). One of the two sprays will be nalbuphine (5 mg). The other spray will be naloxone in half the participants and placebo in the other half.

Being tested
nalbuphine plus naloxone, nalbuphine plus placebo

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing nalbuphine plus naloxone in people with Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome and Burning Mouth Syndrome, run by University of California, San Francisco at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pain Intensity as Measured on a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Ranging From Zero to 100. (time frame: 20 minute intervals for three hours.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
