desipramine and Chronic Pain

desipramine has been researched along with Chronic Pain in 4 studies

Desipramine: A tricyclic dibenzazepine compound that potentiates neurotransmission. Desipramine selectively blocks reuptake of norepinephrine from the neural synapse, and also appears to impair serotonin transport. This compound also possesses minor anticholinergic activity, through its affinity to muscarinic receptors.
desipramine : A dibenzoazepine consisting of 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine substituted on nitrogen with a 3-(methylamino)propyl group.

Chronic Pain: Aching sensation that persists for more than a few months. It may or may not be associated with trauma or disease, and may persist after the initial injury has healed. Its localization, character, and timing are more vague than with acute pain.

Trial Outcomes

Intent-toTreat Analysis of Descriptor Differential Scale (DDS) of Pain Intensity

"The DDS is self-report measure of current pain intensity of chronic back pain. Participants rate pain on a 20 point scale as being greater or less intense relative to 12 adjectival descriptor words which serve as anchors (eg, greater or less than faint, moderate, strong). Scores range from 0 to 20 with higher scores indicating higher pain intensity. The analysis evaluated the 'as randomized' sample at 12 weeks after baseline or last observation carried forward, after co-varying for baseline (pre-treatment) values." (NCT00964886)
Timeframe: 12 weeks after baseline (or last observation carried forward)

Roland and Morris Disability Questionnaire

"This questionnaire measures disability in everyday function due to back pain. It is a 24-item checklist asking patients to endorse whether or not back pain limits activities they normally do (eg, I stay at home most of the time because of my back). Scores range from 0 to 24, with higher scores indicating greater disability in everyday function due to back pain. The analysis evaluated the 'as randomized' sample at 12 weeks after baseline, after co-varying for baseline (pre-treatment) values." (NCT00964886)
