thioctic acid and Pain

thioctic acid has been researched along with Pain in 25 studies

Thioctic Acid: An octanoic acid bridged with two sulfurs so that it is sometimes also called a pentanoic acid in some naming schemes. It is biosynthesized by cleavage of LINOLEIC ACID and is a coenzyme of oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (KETOGLUTARATE DEHYDROGENASE COMPLEX). It is used in DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS.

Pain: An unpleasant sensation induced by noxious stimuli which are detected by NERVE ENDINGS of NOCICEPTIVE NEURONS.

"Thioctic acid 600 mg/day appears to be at least as effective as ALC in the treatment of sciatic pain caused by a herniated disc and may be associated with an improvement in symptom scores and reduced need for analgesia."9.13Thioctic acid and acetyl-L-carnitine in the treatment of sciatic pain caused by a herniated disc: a randomized, double-blind, comparative study. ( Loiero, M; Memeo, A, 2008)

" Findings are positive influence of thioctic acid on amelioration of pain and angiodystonia, supported by clinical and functional investigations."3.81[Experience of antioxidants in combined therapy for vibration disease patients]. ( Lashina, EL; Nikonova, SM; Shilov, VV, 2015)
"Drug therapy for fibromyalgia is limited by incomplete efficacy and dose-limiting adverse effects (AEs)."3.30Combination analgesic development for enhanced clinical efficacy (the CADENCE trial): a double-blind, controlled trial of an alpha-lipoic acid-pregabalin combination for fibromyalgia pain. ( Gilron, I; Holden, RR; Milev, R; Robb, S; Towheed, T; Tu, D, 2023)
" Participants underwent two visits (at baseline = t0, and after 2 months = t1) in which two validated questionaries for pain (numerical rating scale [NRS] and visual analogue scale [VAS]) were collected; fasting blood glucose assessment, adverse effects, and renal and hepatic toxicity were also monitored."3.01Safety and efficacy of alpha-lipoic acid oral supplementation in the reduction of pain with unknown etiology: A monocentric, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. ( Dacrema, M; Daglia, M; Di Minno, A; Esposito, C; Piccinocchi, G; Piccinocchi, R; Sacchi, R; Santarcangelo, C; Ugo Garzarella, E, 2021)
"Burning mouth syndrome is a chronic idiopathic intractable intraoral dysaesthesia that remains a challenge to clinicians due to its poorly understood pathogenesis and inconsistent response to various treatments."2.82A systematic review of treatment for patients with burning mouth syndrome. ( Hoffmann, J; Renton, T; Smith, JG; Tan, HL, 2022)
"Postpartum pain is a frequent condition that negatively affects women's quality of life, interferring with everyday life."2.52[Use of alpha-lipoic acid and omega-3 in postpartum pain treatment]. ( Bounous, VE; Costantino, D; Costantino, M; Guaraldi, C, 2015)
"Based on the currently available evidence, when given intravenously at a dosage of 600 mg once daily over a period of three weeks, alpha lipoic acid leads to a significant and clinically relevant reduction in neuropathic pain (grade of recommendation A)."2.46Alpha lipoic acid: a new treatment for neuropathic pain in patients with diabetes? ( Alkhalaf, A; Bilo, HJ; Kleefstra, N; Mijnhout, GS, 2010)
"Ischemia was produced by the ligature of each of the supplying arteries to the sciatic-tibial nerve of the right hind-limb for predetermined periods of time (either 3 or 5 h), followed by the release of the ligatures, resulting in reperfusion."1.30Alpha-lipoic acid provides neuroprotection from ischemia-reperfusion injury of peripheral nerve.
