About this study

Official title: Is Visceral Hyperalgesia the Culprit of Noncardiac Chest Pain in Chinese? Part 2: Effect of GABAB Agonist on Visceral Hyperalgesia in NCCP Patients

The effect of baclofen (GABAB agonist), diltiazem (muscle relaxant) and placebo will be compared in a double-blinded randomized study for the treatment of NCCP. Cerebral cortical, brainstem and spinal evoked potentials before and after treatment will be evaluated. Results of this study will shed lights on pathogenesis and treatment of NCCP in Chinese.We hypothesize that Baclofen alleviates visceral hyperalgesia in NCCP patients by suppressing afferent sensory pathway.

The study was stopped early (reason given: Funding ended). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Esophageal sensory and pain thresholds. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Mar 2008.
