About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Nasal CO2 in the Symptomatic Treatment of Temporomandibular Disorders

This purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with nasal CO2 in the treatment of pain and other symptoms related to temporomandibular disorder (TMD).

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, controlled trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of nasal carbon dioxide for the treatment of pain and other symptoms related to temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Approximately 115 men and women ages 18 to 70 years old who have a history consistent with TMD-related pain for at least 3 months and meet all other eligibility criteria will be enrolled in this study. There may be up to two (2) visits to the clinic, screening and treatment. Screening and treatment may occur on the same day.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Nasal Carbon Dioxide and Air in people with Temporomandibular Disorders and Pain, run by Capnia, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Aug 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Change in pain status from baseline over a 3 hour period (time frame: within 3 hours of the first dose). 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 20 Aug 2010.
