Trial summary

Pain is complex phenomenon misunderstood in spite of medical progress and neurosciences. That's why the relief of chronic pain is only partial for a lot of infection as arthrosis, chronic back pain, headaches or neuropathic pain. Certain situations bring to relive pain sensation.

About this study

Official title: Acute Pain Memory Among Former Burned: Exploration of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI).

Pain is complex phenomenon misunderstood in spite of medical progress and neurosciences. That's why the relief of chronic pain is only partial for a lot of infection as arthrosis, chronic back pain, headaches or neuropathic pain. Certain situations bring to relive pain sensation. Investigators were interested to former burned. They wonder about somatic memory and unconscious of acute.

Read the detailed description

It is a comparative and monocentric study. There are two groups. On the one hand, there is the former burned and, on the other hand, healthy volunteers. While they thought to painful memory or not, functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) will be performed. Then, investigators compare two functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI).

Main objective of this study is link up between brain activity by functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and acute pain memory.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • fMRIOther

    Also called functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)

    During fMRI, patients and control group will have to thought to seven painful memories, seven emotional memories not painful, seven neutral memories. At every memory there is control test. It is to count backwards.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. BOLD (blood-oxygen-level dependent) signal between painful memories

    Correlation between BOLD measured by functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and every conditions: painful memories, emotional memories not painful, neutral memories and control test.

    Measured: Months 3

  2. BOLD (blood-oxygen-level dependent) signal between emotional memories not painful

    Correlation between BOLD measured by functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and every conditions: painful memories, emotional memories not painful, neutral memories and control test.

    Measured: Months 3

  3. BOLD (blood-oxygen-level dependent) signal between neutral memories

    Correlation between BOLD measured by functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and every conditions: painful memories, emotional memories not painful, neutral memories and control test.

    Measured: Months 3

  4. BOLD (blood-oxygen-level dependent) signal between control test.

    Correlation between BOLD measured by functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and every conditions: painful memories, emotional memories not painful, neutral memories and control test.

    Measured: Months 3

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. BOLD (blood-oxygen-level dependent) signal between control group for every conditions

    Correlation between BOLD measured by functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and groups for every conditions: painful memories, emotional memories not painful, neutral memories and control test.

    Measured: Months 3

  2. BOLD (blood-oxygen-level dependent) signal between patients for every conditions

    Correlation between BOLD measured by functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and groups for every conditions: painful memories, emotional memories not painful, neutral memories and control test.

    Measured: Months 3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing fMRI in people with Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Neuronal Activity, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 1 site in France.

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 13 inclusion and 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Sep 2020. 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 France. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: failure to recruit). 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?

BOLD (blood-oxygen-level dependent) signal between painful memories (time frame: Months 3). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 Sep 2020.
