What is Lioresal

Baclofen

The Generic name of this drug

Treatment Summary

Baclofen is a muscle relaxer that is used to relieve painful or uncomfortable muscle spasms caused by certain medical conditions. It is often prescribed to people with spinal cord injuries to reduce muscle spasticity. There is currently not enough evidence to determine whether baclofen is effective in treating alcohol withdrawal. This drug was approved by the FDA in 1992.

Effectiveness

How Lioresal Affects Patients

Baclofen is a drug that helps with muscle relaxation. It works by decreasing the amount of excitatory signals sent from pre-synaptic neurons and increasing the amount of inhibitory signals sent from post-synaptic neurons. Most commonly, it is taken orally. In one study, it was found to be more effective at reducing spasticity when given directly into the spinal cord than when taken orally. Baclofen can cause drowsiness, poor balance, slow breathing, and a decrease in heart rate. It also can help reduce pain and increase stomach acid production. Additionally, baclofen has anti-inflammatory

How Lioresal works in the body

Baclofen works by blocking signals between the brain and muscles. It binds to GABA receptors, which are found on both pre- and post-synaptic neurons. This blocks the action potentials which would normally be sent to the muscles, leading to relaxation of spasticity. It also causes an influx of potassium into the neuron, which further helps to relax the muscles. Baclofen may also act on some voltage-gated calcium channels, but the clinical significance of this is still unclear.

Green Light Filtering Glasses for Traumatic Brain Injury

18 - 70
All Sexes
Pomona, CA

The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate whether narrow-band green light filtering glasses improve symptom management and participation in rehabilitation among individuals recovering from traumatic brain injury (TBI). Common post-traumatic symptoms such as photophobia, headaches, difficulty concentrating, anxiety, and sleep disturbances may interfere with engagement in rehabilitation therapies and limit recovery. This study will examine whether use of green light filtering eyewear reduces symptom burden and improves participation in physical, occupational, and speech therapy sessions. Findings will provide preliminary evidence regarding the feasibility and potential clinical utility of green light filtering eyewear as a non-pharmacologic intervention during rehabilitation.

The goal of this pilot study is to find out how four different types of transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) affect brain activity, the process of acquiring new skills (also called motor learning), and hand function after cervical spinal cord injury (cSCI). Participants will complete 5 study sessions: one sign-up session and four testing \& intervention sessions. Total participation will take about 18 hours. During the sign-up session, researchers will: discuss study details, review the participant's health history to make sure that it is safe for them to participate, perform tests to ensure that the participant meets the study criteria, and collect the participant's demographic information. During each testing \& intervention session, the participant will receive a different type of tES. Before and after getting tES, they will take part in tests that measure their brain activity and the strength, sensation, and function of their right hand.

EXOPULSE Suit for Multiple Sclerosis

All Sexes
Chicago, IL

This clinical research study is investigating whether the EXOPULSE Suit, a wearable device that delivers electrical stimulation, can help improve movement difficulties caused by spasticity in adults with multiple sclerosis (MS). The main goal of the study is to evaluate the effect of the EXOPULSE Suit on functional mobility, with particular focus on walking ability and balance. The study will also assess the safety of the device by monitoring any adverse events that occur during the study. Researchers will additionally evaluate the effects of the EXOPULSE Suit on: * Pain * Hand and finger dexterity * Fatigue * Quality of life Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of the stimulation programs being evaluated in the study. Some participants may receive a sham (placebo) stimulation. Neither the participants nor the study staff performing the assessments will know which stimulation program a participant has been assigned to during the study. This approach, known as blinding, helps ensure that the study results are as objective and reliable as possible. Participants will use the EXOPULSE Suit for one hour every other day during a 4-week home-use period. Clinical assessments will be performed before and after the treatment period to evaluate changes in mobility and other symptoms. It is important to note that individuals may experience the stimulation differently. Some participants may clearly feel the stimulation, while others may feel it only slightly or not at all. Not feeling the stimulation does not necessarily indicate which study group a participant has been assigned to, and a treatment effect may still be possible even when the stimulation is not perceived. To ensure meaningful study results, participants are encouraged to use the EXOPULSE Suit as instructed throughout the study period, even if they do not notice a sensation of stimulation or an immediate improvement in their symptoms. The study uses an adaptive design, meaning that an interim analysis will be performed during the study to determine the number of participants needed to reliably evaluate the study objectives.

All Sexes
West Orange, NJ

Spasticity is a common consequence of spinal cord injury and can have a profound impact on quality of life. The goal of this study is to learn if an intervention called focused extracorporeal shockwave therapy can enhance the effectiveness of injections received for spasticity, such as Botox. The main questions this study seeks to answer are whether shockwave therapy and toxin injection 1) can improve spasticity symptoms greater than toxin injection alone, and 2) change the structure of the injected muscles. Researchers will compare the group who receives both shockwave therapy and toxin injection to a group who receives only toxin injection. Participants will be asked to visit the clinic five times over the span of three months. The first three visits will occur on three consecutive weeks, during which participants will receive shockwave therapy or the sham therapy. The final two visits will occur four and eight weeks later, during which participants will be asked a series of questions about their spasticity and have ultrasounds and MRIs collected of their leg muscles.

Lidocaine Injection vs Saline for Pain Management

18+
Female
Bay Shore, NY

We are doing this study to find the best way to manage pain during a procedure called urethral bulking. This procedure treats urine leakage that happens with coughing, laughing, sneezing, or physical activity. It works by injecting a gel-like substance around the urethra (the tube that urine comes out of) to help it stay closed when it should. We use a numbing gel (called lidocaine jelly) inside the urethra to help with pain during the procedure. In this study, we will also be administering lidocaine (numbing medication) injected around the urethra or a saline placebo (medical grade saltwater) injection, which has no numbing effect. A placebo is something that looks like a real treatment but doesn't have any medical effect. Both the lidocaine and the saline would be injected around the urethra using a small needle, and we'll compare how well they work at reducing pain.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether taking oral tranexamic acid (TXA) for one week after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction improves recovery in adolescents and young adults aged 14 to 25 years. All participants receive standard intravenous TXA during surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does oral TXA lower knee pain at 2 weeks after surgery? * Does oral TXA reduce the amount of opioid pain medicine used in the first 2 weeks? * Does oral TXA improve knee range of motion at 2 weeks? Researchers will compare oral TXA to a placebo (a look-alike capsule with no active drug) to see if oral TXA improves pain, opioid use, motion, strength, knee function, and return to sport. Participants will: * Take 3 capsules (oral TXA or placebo) once a day for the first 8 days after surgery (day of surgery through day 7) * Keep a home diary for 2 weeks recording pain scores, opioid pills taken and any side effects * Return for study visits at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, 9 months and 1 year for pain, motion, strength and function testing * Complete a survey at 2 years
