gamma-aminobutyric acid and Neuralgia, Postherpetic

gamma-aminobutyric acid has been researched along with Neuralgia, Postherpetic in 118 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.

Neuralgia, Postherpetic: Pain in nerves, frequently involving facial SKIN, resulting from the activation the latent varicella-zoster virus (HERPESVIRUS 3, HUMAN). The two forms of the condition preceding the pain are HERPES ZOSTER OTICUS; and HERPES ZOSTER OPHTHALMICUS. Following the healing of the rashes and blisters, the pain sometimes persists.

Trial Outcomes

Change From Baseline in the Mean 24-hour Average Pain Intensity (API) Score at the Last Week of Each Treatment Period Using Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) Data

Baseline and end of treatment values are the calculated means of the daily 24-hour API scores for each participant during the last 7 days prior to randomization (baseline) and the last 7 days on treatment within each period (end of treatment). Participants rated their API over the preceding 24 hours, using an 11-point PI-Numerical Rating Scale (0=no pain, 10=pain as bad as you can imagine). LOCF was used if less than 4 days of diary data were provided. Change from baseline was calculated as end of treatment minus baseline. Data are summarized by dose, independent of treatment period.

Change From Baseline in the Mean 24-hour Average Pain Intensity (API) Score at the Last Week of Each Treatment Period Using LOCF Data for Each Treatment Period

Baseline and end of treatment values are the calculated means of the daily 24-hour API scores for each participant during the last 7 days prior to randomization (baseline) and the last 7 days on treatment within each period (end of treatment). Participants used a hand-held diary to rate their average pain intensity over the preceding 24 hours, using an 11-point PI-NRS (0=no pain, 10=pain as bad as you can imagine). LOCF was used if less than 4 days of diary data were provided. The by period summary is provided as a sensitivity analysis for the primary analysis. (NCT00617461)

Participants recorded their current evening pain intensity in the evening before bedtime using an 11-point PI-NRS (0=no pain, 10=pain as bad as you can imagine). Baseline and end of treatment scores are as defined for the primary endpoint. Change from baseline is calculated as the end of treatment score minus the baseline score. An ANCOVA with baseline value, BMI, grouped center as covariates was used. Data are summarized by dose, independent of treatment period." (NCT00617461)

Change From Baseline in the Mean Daily Dose in Milligrams of Rescue Medication at the Last Week of Each Treatment Period

Mean daily use of rescue medication (milligrams of acetaminophen) was calculated by determining the average number of tablets taken per day of rescue medication (Commercial Tylenol) during treatment and multiplying that by 500 mg. Baseline and end of treatment scores are as defined for the primary endpoint. Change from baseline is calculated as the end of treatment score minus the baseline score. An ANCOVA with baseline value, BMI, grouped center as covariates was used. Data are summarized by dose, independent of treatment period. (NCT00617461)

Change From Baseline in the Mean Day-time Average Pain Intensity (API) Score at the Last Week of Each Treatment Period Using LOCF Data

Day-time is defined as the time between rising in the morning and going to bed at night. Participants recorded day-time API on a daily basis in the evening before bedtime using an 11-point PI-NRS (0=no pain, 10=pain as bad as you can imagine). Baseline and end of treatment scores are as defined for the primary endpoint. Change from baseline is calculated as the end of treatment score minus the baseline score.

Day-time worst pain is defined as the participant's assessment of their worst pain intensity between rising in the morning and going to bed at night. Day-time worst pain was recorded in the evening before bedtime using an 11-point PI-NRS (0=no pain, 10=pain as bad as you can imagine). Baseline and end of treatment scores are as defined for the primary endpoint. Change from baseline is calculated as the end of treatment score minus the baseline score.

"The CGIC is a single-item questionnaire designed to provide an overall assessment of treatment from the clinician's perspective since the start of the study. It is measured on a 7-point scale, where 1=very much improved and 7=very much worse. A participant is considered a responder if they have a response of very much improved or much improved. Data are summarized by dose within each treatment period." (NCT00617461)

Change From Baseline in the Severity of Pain and the Impact of Pain as Assessed by the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) at the Last Week of Each Treatment Period Using LOCF

The BPI assesses the severity and interference of pain; and consists of 6 items assessed on an 11-point NRS (0=no impact to 10=greatest impact). 2 summary scores are calculated: BPI Severity Score (average of first 4 items) and BPI Interference Score (average of 7 responses to item 6); where scores range from 0 to 10 (0=no impact to 10=greatest impact). Analysis of this endpoint is based on the change from baseline (BL) (EOMT score minus the BL score) using an ANCOVA model with BL value, BMI, grouped center as covariates. Data are summarized by dose, independent of treatment period. (NCT00617461)

Mean Gabapentin Steady-State (ss) Average, Minimum and Maximum Concentrations

"Steady-state average (Cave, ss), maximum (Cmax, ss), and minimum (Cmin,ss) plasma concentration of gabapentin in each participant were estimated using the gabapentin plasma concentration data and with the aid of a population pharmacokinetic model. Dispersion is represented by the fifth to ninety-fifth percentile, though labeled as Full Range. A total of 10 blood samples were collected per participant over the Baseline, Period 1, and Period 2 at various timepoints during the dosing interval. Plasma concentration of gabapentin in these samples was measured." (NCT00617461)

Number of Participants Achieving Various Levels of Percent Reduction From Baseline in the Mean 24-hour Average Pain Intensity Score at the Last Week of Each Treatment Period Using LOCF Data

Baseline and end of treatment (EOT) scores are the calculated means of the 24-hour average pain scores for each participant during the last 7 days prior to randomization (Baseline) and the 7 days prior to the last on-treatment completed diary (EOT). Percent reduction from baseline was calculated as the [(EOT score minus baseline score) divided by the baseline score], multiplied by 100. The PI-NRS is an 11-point scale (0=no pain, 10=pain as bad as you can imagine) by which a participant assesses their 24-hour average pain intensity. Data are summarized by dose, independent of treatment period. (NCT00617461)
