Pain Evaluation and Treatment
NCT00362167 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This study offers evaluation and treatment for patients with a spectrum of acute and chronic pain syndromes. The protocol is not designed to test new treatments; rather, patients will receive current standard of care treatments. The purposes of the study are: 1) to allow physicians in NIDCR's Pain and Neurosensory Mechanisms Branch to gain more knowledge about treating acute and chronic pain and possibly identify new avenues of research in this area; and 2) to establish a pool of patients who may be eligible for new studies as they are developed. (Participants in this protocol will not be required to join a new study; the decision will be voluntary.) Patients 12 years of age and older with an acute or chronic pain syndrome may be eligible for this study. Women of childbearing potential and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding will not be enrolled in this study, drugs may have unknown or untoward side effects on the baby. Participants will provide a medical history, as well as occupational and social information. They will have a standard neurological examination, including a test of cognitive (thinking) abilities, muscular function, reflexes and sensory examination. The latter involves testing with a pin placed on the surface of the skin. Participants will also have routine blood tests and will fill out questionnaires on their daily functioning and psychological well being. Additional procedures may include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and possible referral to a psychiatrist for evaluation of depression or emotional difficulties. Participants will be treated according to their individual pain problem. Treatments may include medicines, exercises, physical therapy, nerve blocks and dietary changes. Medicines given in this study are commonly used by doctors to treat pain, but for many, there is little research to back up their use. This study will provide information on the effectiveness of these treatments. Participants will keep a daily log in which t

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00362167
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00362167 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 50 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), which has 60 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Pain appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 0 interventions. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00362167 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Maryland. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
