aspartic acid and Peripheral Nervous System Diseases

aspartic acid has been researched along with Peripheral Nervous System Diseases in 6 studies

Aspartic Acid: One of the non-essential amino acids commonly occurring in the L-form. It is found in animals and plants, especially in sugar cane and sugar beets. It may be a neurotransmitter.
aspartic acid : An alpha-amino acid that consists of succinic acid bearing a single alpha-amino substituent
L-aspartic acid : The L-enantiomer of aspartic acid.

Peripheral Nervous System Diseases: Diseases of the peripheral nerves external to the brain and spinal cord, which includes diseases of the nerve roots, ganglia, plexi, autonomic nerves, sensory nerves, and motor nerves.

Trial Outcomes

Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)

Digital pain rating system that scores patient's subjective pain rating from 0 to 10; with greater number indicating progressively worsening pain. NPRS were measured at baseline (visit1), and at each follow ups visits at visit 2, 3 and 4. Visit 2 and 4 captured post treatment (either 1000 Hz or standard stimulation depending on the randomization) results, and visit 3 captured NPRS after the wash off from the spinal cord stimulation. (NCT02265848)
Timeframe: Baseline (visit 1), and at each follow up visits (visits 2, 3, and 4)

Oswestry Disability Index Questionnaire (ODI).

ODI is a outcome metrics that is design to assess the severity of disability based on 10 activity categories. ODI is based on 0 to 100% scale, where larger percentage implies worse disability. (There are 5 categories: 0-20%: Minimal disability, 21-40%: Moderate disability, 41-60%: Severe disability, 61-80%: Crippled. 81-100%: Either bed bound or exaggerating symptoms). ODI were measured at baseline (visit1), and at each follow ups visits at visit 2, 3 and 4. Visit 2 and 4 captured post treatment (either 1000 Hz or standard stimulation depending on the randomization) results, and visit 3 captured NPRS after the wash off from the spinal cord stimulation. (NCT02265848)
Timeframe: Baseline (visit 1), and at each follow up visits (visits 2, 3, and 4)

Patient's Global Impression of Change (PGIC)

PGIC is a 7-point scale that requires study subjects to rate the severity of their illness or medical condition after a specific treatment. 1: No change, 2: Almost the same, 3: A little better, 4: Somewhat better, 5: Moderately better, 6: Better, 7: A great deal better. Study subjects were asked to report their impression of changes at baseline visit, visit 2 through 4. (NCT02265848)
Timeframe: Baseline (visit 1), and at each follow up visits (visits 2, 3, and 4)

Preferability

At the conclusion of the study, subjects were asked to report which spinal cord stimulation modes they preferred. Subjects were presented with two boxes (1000 Hz. stimulation and Standard stimulation) and asked to check one. (NCT02265848)
Timeframe: End of treatment visit on visit 4
