This study tests two doses of a treatment called Qutenza, which has a substance called capsaicin (found in chili peppers), for nerve pain after surgery. The study compares a high-dose (8%) and a low-dose (0.04%) version. Researchers want to see if it helps with pain relief and if it's safe to use.
Who can join? Adults 18 or older with nerve pain after surgery, who are not pregnant, and have a diagnosis of post-surgical neuropathic pain (PSNP) can join. Participants need to have had pain for more than 6 months, and the pain should not be related to muscles or bones. People allergic to capsaicin or who have used it recently cannot join.
- Length of Study: Participation involves multiple visits and regular check-ins.
- Risks and Benefits: Benefits may include pain relief, but there might be risks like skin irritation.
- Compensation: Participants might receive compensation for their time and travel.
This study is important for understanding if Qutenza can safely help with post-surgery nerve pain.
