Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is this experiment open to elderly enrollees or confined to a younger cohort?

"This clinical research is accepting volunteers aged 18-65."

Answered by AI

What conditions is the Ondansetron 16 mg with Tariquidar combination typically employed to ameliorate?

"Ondansetron 16 mg with Tariquidar is traditionally used to treat uremia, but can also be prescribed as an antidote for radiation therapy induced nausea and vomiting, pharmacotherapy-induced side effects, and pruritus."

Answered by AI

What aims is this study hoping to achieve?

"The primary endpoint of the trial, which is to be measured over an 8 week period post-consent, involves exploring the Cerebrospinal Fluid to Plasma Concentration Ratio of Ondansetron. Secondary goals are quantifying Correlation between CPM Magnitude (ΔCPM) and Change in Pain Intensity through bivariate regression; determining Conditioned Pain Modulation (CPM) Magnitude (ΔCPM); and observing Changes in Pain Intensity from baseline to 60-120 minutes after ondansetron IV infusion with or without tariquidar administration."

Answered by AI

Is the enrollment period for this trial still accessible?

"Indeed, according to information provided on clinicaltrials.gov, this experiment is currently enrolling participants; it was first advertised on the 31st of January 2021 and was last amended on September 23rd 2021. An enrollment goal of 32 patients across one site has been set for this trial."

Answered by AI

How many enrollees is the clinical trial accepting at this point in time?

"Affirmative, according to clinicaltrials.gov, this research project is still open for recruitment and recently updated on September 23rd 2021. As of now, 32 volunteers are needed at a single location."

Answered by AI

Who is eligible to take part in this clinical trial?

"This research endeavour is searching for 32 eligible individuals between the ages of 18 and 65 who suffer from neuralgia. To be considered, applicants must meet all of the following: Be aged 18-65; Have a proven diagnosis of neuropathic pain caused by damage or illness that impacts their peripheral nervous system; Possess at least Probable neuropathic pain grading 1; Live with this condition for more than 3 months on average; Experience an intensity level no lower than 4 out of 10 in terms of numerical rating scale (NRS)."
