Trial summary

The study hypothesis is that the relief of pain in patients with osteoarthritis in the hand can be detected by a form of brain scanning that detects which parts of the brain are activated when pain is felt. Read more about this study

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Changes in voxel-wise Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) signal throughout the brain and changes in pre-defined brain regions of interest.

    Measured: 22 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Whole brain resting-state distribution of Cerebral Blood Flow

    Measured: 22 days

  2. Psychometric measures of pain, namely Daily Pain Diaries and Present Pain Intensity

    Measured: 22 days

  3. Pain induced by a grip task measured with a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire and patient-rated wrist/hand evaluation (PRWHE)

    Measured: 22 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Naproxen in people with Osteoarthritis, run by Pfizer at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Mar 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Changes in voxel-wise Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) signal throughout the brain and changes in pre-defined brain regions of interest. (time frame: 22 days). 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Mar 2011.
