gamma-aminobutyric acid and Hyperesthesia

gamma-aminobutyric acid has been researched along with Hyperesthesia in 8 studies

gamma-Aminobutyric Acid: The most common inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.
gamma-aminobutyric acid : A gamma-amino acid that is butanoic acid with the amino substituent located at C-4.

Hyperesthesia: Increased sensitivity to cutaneous stimulation due to a diminished threshold or an increased response to stimuli.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The ability of bicuculline to alleviate allodynia and formalin-evoked hyperalgesia in diabetic rats is consistent with a reversal of the properties of GABA predicted by reduced spinal KCC2 and suggests that reduced KCC2 expression and increased GABA release contribute to spinally mediated hyperalgesia in diabetes."1.35Allodynia and hyperalgesia in diabetic rats are mediated by GABA and depletion of spinal potassium-chloride co-transporters. ( Calcutt, NA; Jolivalt, CG; Lee, CA; Ramos, KM, 2008)
"Both thermal hyperalgesia and tactile allodynia were reversed when transplants were placed either one or two weeks after partial nerve injury, compared to maintenance of these behaviors with the injury alone."1.31Only early intervention with gamma-aminobutyric acid cell therapy is able to reverse neuropathic pain after partial nerve injury.

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)

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)

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)
