Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Carpronium chloride has a chemical structure similar to that of acetylcholine; therefore, it exhibits both cholinergic and local vasodilatory activities."1.62Cholinergic crisis caused by ingesting topical carpronium chloride solution: A case report. ( Amagasa, S; Endo, T; Kashiura, M; Kubota, Y; Moriya, T, 2021)
" The adverse effects of gabapentin seem to vary from person to person and should be viewed with a high degree of suspicion, especially in patients taking this drug at the beginning."1.35Gabapentin toxicity: an important cause of altered consciousness in patients with uraemia.

Trial Outcomes

Peak Itch Intensity Between the Vehicle and Active Treatments (Individual and KeAmLi-combo).

"Peak itch intensity between the vehicle and 4 other active treatments (individual ketamine, amitriptyline, or lidocaine, and KeAmLi-combo). Itch intensity was measured on a 100mm scale visual analog scale for 10 minutes. 0 was weighted with no itch and 100 was weighted with most itch imaginable." (NCT03096444)
Timeframe: 10 minutes

Topical KeAmLi Combo62.7
Topical Ketamine63.1
Topical Amitriptyline69.2
Topical Lidocaine65.8

Mechanical Thresholds (Mechanical Detection and Pain).

Assess mechanical detection and pain thresholds using von Frey filaments stimulators (measured in force mN) to calculate the final threshold as the geometric mean of five series of ascending and descending stimuli. (NCT03096444)

Thermal Threshold Detection (Warmth and Heat Pain)

Two standardized quantitative sensory tests are performed to measure warmth detection threshold (assesses the threshold of which warmth sensation is first detected) and heat pain threshold (assesses the threshold at which heat pain sensation is first detected). Measured in change in celsius. (NCT03096444)
