97 participants; 83 included in ITT population; 39 completed study per protocol. 4week observation period was too short to meet our inclusion criteria. #2 ("neuropathic pain" OR "neuropathy pain"):TI,AB,KY Most adverse effects related to the study drugs were reported as mild to moderate in severity; however, the proportions of both any effects and of effects leading to withdrawal were higher in the oxcarbazepine group than the placebo group. The number of participants improved (all degrees) was 35/71 (49.3%) in the oxcarbazepine group versus 27/74 (36.5%) in the placebo group (RR 1.35, 95% CI 0.92 to 1.98; P = 0.12; n = 145) and the number of participants who 'much' or 'very much' improved was 17/71 (23.9%) in the oxcarbazepine group versus 11/74 (14.9%) in the placebo group (RR 1.61, 95% CI 0.81 to 3.20; P = 0.17; n = 145; Analysis 3.2). EFNS guidelines on pharmacological treatment of neuropathic pain. Derry S, 22 11 and 12 and 21 (101) Relations to gender, spinal level, completeness, and age at the time of injury. We need more welldesigned studies of oxcarbazepine for various types of neuropathic pain, with large numbers of participants spread over different centres (e.g. As a library, NLM provides access to scientific literature. Wan Y. Dogra S, A doseranging design should be considered to determine whether a doseresponse relationship is present. antiepileptic drug oxcarbazepine trigeminal neuralgia refractory pain painful diabetic neuropathy Introduction Analgesic action was first reported for an antiepileptic drug (AED) in 1942, when phenytoin was found to be effective in some patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TGN). Newer anti-seizure drugs may have fewer side effects et al. Mazzola J, 9. Children 2 to 4 years of ageDose is based on body weight and must be determined by your doctor. In: Higgins JP, Green S, editor(s). Jensen TS, 16.1315/or More welldesigned, multicentre RCTs investigating oxcarbazepine for various types of neuropathic pain are needed, and selective publication of studies or data should be avoided. Derry S, Lippi S, The more common side effects of oxcarbazepine depend on the drug form. We were unable to find the full text or retrieve any useful data from the authors and pharmaceutical company. We know of trials that have not reported results, for example in a form of facial pain called trigeminal neuralgia, and some of the trials we found did not report data in a form that we could analyse. However, participants might have withdrawn before they found any obvious effect, so imputing outcomes in this way for missing participants (especially for early withdrawals) could have led to an underestimation of the true intervention effect. For dichotomous outcomes, we calculated risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) (Deeks 2011). The online report provided explicit inclusion and exclusion criteria and the estimated number of participants to be enrolled was 60. Comparison 3 Oxcarbazepine versus placebo for neuropathic pain due to radiculopathy, Outcome 3 Adverse effects. Allocation concealment was likely to have been performed. Compared to the placebo group, more people receiving the two higher doses of oxcarbazepine had adverse effects (Analysis 2.3). They involved 634 participants with painful diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage), 145 people with neuropathic pain due to radiculopathy (pain that arises at the point where nerves leave the spinal column), and 83 people with peripheral neuropathic pain of various causes (e.g. The Faces Pain Scale for the selfassessment of the severity of pain experienced by children: development, initial validation and preliminary investigation for ratio scale properties, Phenytoin for neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia in adults, Continuing Education in Anaesthesia, Critical Care and Pain, Rationale and evidence for the use of oxcarbazepine in neuropathic pain. In: Higgins JP, Green S, editor(s). We identified no eligible trials of oxcarbazepine for other types of neuropathic pain. 15.qulai or renao or wanyi (trade names of oxcarbazepine in Chinese) Overall, we judged these data at very low quality because of serious study limitations (attrition bias), inconsistency and a serious risk of publication bias. Nonblind trial of 78 participants with trigeminal neuralgia comparing efficacy and safety of oxcarbazepine to carbamazepine. Sievers K, Alarcn F, 7. postherpetic neuralgia or PHN The frequency of such adverse effects appeared to be dose related, based on our analyses. There were high percentages of dropouts, and common reasons for discontinuation included adverse effects, protocol violations and unsatisfactory responses to treatment. NNTB score change could not be calculated for the oxcarbazepine 600 mg/day group because the event rate was lower than that of the placebo group. This phenomenon can be partly explained by the substantial variation in placebo effect among people with painful diabetic neuropathy (Backonja 2003; Beydoun 2006; Eisenberg 2007). 16 Spinal Cord Injuries/ (34456) We planned to evaluate the effects of treatment after eight weeks, but we could not extract the relevant data because 1. in the crossover trial, oxcarbazepine or placebo was used for only six weeks in each treatment period (Demant 2014); 2. the other four included trials reported outcomes 16 weeks after starting the treatment; and 3. the rates of change in the measured outcomes per week were not constant (Beydoun 2006; Dogra 2005; Grosskopf 2006; Novartis 2004). This is the first update of a review published in 2013. Conducted in 22 diabetes and neurology pain clinics and research centres in the USA and Canada. (4669151) Derry S, #9 MeSH DESCRIPTOR Spinal Cord Injuries Explode All [REFERENCE] [STANDARD] We are grateful for the assistance of Cochrane Neuromuscular. Oxcarbazepine has been reported to be efficacious in the treatment of neuropathic pain. Most adverse effects were minor, but 16% of participants stopped the drug due to adverse effects. Dogra 2005 showed that the proportion of participants experiencing at least 50% pain relief was 24/69 (34.8%) in the oxcarbazepine 1800 mg/day group (34.8%) versus 14/77 (18.2%) in the placebo group (RR 1.91, 95% CI 1.08 to 3.39; P = 0.03; n = 146; Analysis 1.1; Figure 3). (27251) The NNTB score change was 7 (95% CI 4 to 97) in the oxcarbazepine 1200 mg/day group and 6 (95% CI 4 to 13) in the oxcarbazepine 1800 mg/day group. For the only included crossover trial in the updated review (Demant 2014), we reported data from both treatment periods as there was an adequate washout period. Werhagen L, European Federation of Neurological Societies. #3 ("cervical radiculopathy" or "lumber radiculopathy"):TI,AB,KY I. Trial authors considered that adverse effects experienced during oxcarbazepine treatment might have unblinded many participants, as reflected in a high percentage of participants correctly guessing which treatment they had received in each period. These replaced an original review of AEDs for neuropathic pain (Wiffen 2010), first published in 2005 and now withdrawn. Four trials had similar designs, methods, treatment and followup periods, which allowed for the pooling of some, but not all, relevant efficacy and safety data (Beydoun 2006; Dogra 2005; Grosskopf 2006; Novartis 2004). In Dogra 2005, the aggregate mental health score was significantly different between oxcarbazepinetreated and placebotreated participants (in favour of oxcarbazepine, P = 0.03). Most adverse effects were mild to moderate in intensity and resulted in dosage adjustment. Magenta P, Results of a randomized, placebocontrolled trial suggest oxcarbazepine has a therapeutic effect in the treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy, Oxcarbazepine for the treatment of chronic peripheral neuropathic pain (IMIOXC), https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/study/NCT01302275?term=NCT01302275&rank=1. 1. neuropathic pain Oxcarbazepine is reportedly better tolerated than carbamazepine. Participants: number, age range, gender, type of neuropathic disorder, setting. Missing data of both groups clearly described and an ITT analysis performed. An official website of the United States government. We searched the Cochrane Neuromuscular Specialised Register (21 November 2016), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL; 21 November 2016, in the Cochrane Register of Studies Online)), MEDLINE (OvidSP; January 1966 to November 2016), Embase (OvidSP; January 1980 to November 2016) and the Chinese Biomedical Retrieval System (January 1978 to November 2016). Eligible patients had a 6-month to 5-year history of neuropathic pain symptoms of diabetic origin and a pain rating of > or =50 units on the visual analogue scale (VAS). Vivian JP, Shifrin A, (285175) Most efficacy analyses were performed with an ITT analysis, which comprised all randomised participants regardless of completeness of treatment or followup, based on the last observation carried forward (LOCF) principle. Pooling relevant data from Beydoun 2006 and Dogra 2005, pain was 'much' or 'very much' improved in 150/327 (45.9%) participants receiving oxcarbazepine versus 50/166 (30.1%) participants receiving placebo (RR 1.46, 95% CI 1.13 to 1.88; P = 0.004; n = 493; Analysis 1.3; Figure 4). Several anticonvulsant drugs are used in the management of neuropathic pain. Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions Version 5.1.0 (updated March 2011). #8 postherpetic NEAR3 neuralgia [REFERENCE] [STANDARD] We described deviations from the protocol in Differences between protocol and review. There was suggestion of a doseeffect relationship in one doseranging study (Beydoun 2006). We compared the proportion of participants in the oxcarbazepine and placebo groups who reported all degrees of improvement (3 to 1 points for GATE) and who were 'much' or 'very much' improved (3 to 2 points for GATE) after 16 weeks of treatment. Clonazepam for neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia in adults. (213901) Bieri D, We searched the Chinese Biomedical Retrieval System in addition to other databases. Objectives: To determine the benefits and harms of oxcarbazepine for different forms of neuropathic pain. The five included trials all had a moderately large sample of participants and standardised protocols. 37, Guo Xue Xiang, ChengduSichuanChina, 610041, School of Public Health, Sichuan University, Epidemic Disease & Health Statistics Department, ChengduChina, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Department of Pharmacy, No. How to GRADE the quality of the evidence, Version 1.0, June 2016, Epidemiology and impact on quality of life of postherpetic neuralgia and painful diabetic neuropathy. There was no effect on central neuropathic pain in a single, small, high quality trial. One review author (NC) entered the data into Review Manager 5 (RevMan 2014), and a second review author (MZ) checked the data entry. Demant DT, The Cochrane Collaboration, 2011. Study Design Go to Resource links provided by the National Library of Medicine Trials were eligible whether published or unpublished. Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions Version 5.1.0 (updated March 2011). Changes in authorship have taken place since publication of the first version. We performed a post hoc subgroup analysis of different doses of oxcarbazepine for painful diabetic neuropathy. This potential association was not investigated in included trials in this review. #7 "peripheral neuropath*" or "HIV neuropath*" [REFERENCE] [STANDARD] The investigators themselves put forward a number of factors to explain the differences in outcome among the trials. One study in peripheral neuropathic pain ({"type":"clinical-trial","attrs":{"text":"NCT01302275","term_id":"NCT01302275"}}NCT01302275) categorised as ongoing in the previous version of this review has since been completed and we included it in the review (Demant 2014). Evidence is up to date to November 2016. The epidemiology of neuropathic pain has not been well described, at least in part because the underlying conditions are so diverse. At the beginning of the treatment phase, participants took a small initial dose of study medication (300 mg/day) and then the oxcarbazepine was titrated over three to four weeks according to tolerability or the given maximum dose. Only RCTs (including randomised crossover trials) were eligible for the review and reasons for upgrading (large effect, dose response, and plausible confounding factors) were therefore not applicable. Rossjohn J, Filter by condition Oxcarbazepine rating summary 8.0/10 average rating 51 ratings from 63 user reviews. Serious adverse effects occurred in a small number of participants; some effects were considered related to treatment, such as erythema multiforme, Steven Johnson syndrome, severe fatigue, weakness, lightheadedness and headache leading to hospitalisations. Zha Q, 27 remove duplicates from 26 (127), (n.b.

Stable diabetic control and a certain pain severity and variability were also required. A typical dose to treat partial seizures might start at 300 mg twice a day and increase over several weeks. pain) to the brain. Stated, "the randomization scheme was created by Novartis Drug Supply Management using a validated system that automates the random assignment of treatment groups to randomization numbers. Stated they used doubleblind design, and personnel involved in study was likely to be blinded. It has previously been reported to be better tolerated and safer than carbamazepine, with a lower risk of allergic reactions and drugdrug interactions (Beydoun 2002a; Dam 1989). Oxcarbazepine was initiated at a dose of 300 mg/day and titrated to a maximum dose of 1800 mg/day. Wiffen PJ, No data from this trial published, but all outcomes listed in the methods section were reported on the Novartis website (Novartis database). These showed that oxcarbazepine produced substantial pain relief in most people with trigeminal neuralgia and that there was no significant difference in pain relief between oxcarbazepine and carbamazepine. This might be the result of many participants experiencing adverse effects with oxcarbazepine, which could lead to unblinding. Seven of 70 (10.0%) participants receiving oxcarbazepine had at least 50% pain relief versus 14/74 (18.9%) participants receiving placebo (RR 0.53, 95% CI 0.23 to 1.23; P = 0.14; n = 144; Analysis 3.1). In Beydoun 2006 and Grosskopf 2006, the trial authors stated only that there were no significant differences between the oxcarbazepine groups and placebo groups for the quality of life questionnaire. Moreover, NmethylDaspartic acid (NMDA) receptors are upregulated and activated, and play an important role in central sensitisation in neuropathic pain. Tegretol is the only FDA approved medication for trigminal neuralgia. All studies performed the SF36 Health Survey on different occasions during the doubleblind phase including at the eighth week, which was when we specified to measure this outcome in our protocol (Zhou 2009).

Comparison of oxcarbazepine and gabapentin at standard dose in treatment of pain for postherpetic neuropathy, A clinical research on the pharmacological treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, Medical Information Operations Sciences Fascicule, Gabapentin and oxcarbazepine for chronic neuropathic pain in children and adolescents: a clinical effectiveness study. We could not obtain any relevant data from the trial for metaanalysis. Although sharing a similar design, the included trials reported some outcomes in different ways; this prevented pooling of data from the three diabetic neuropathy trials (Beydoun 2006; Dogra 2005; Grosskopf 2006). Furthermore, the effect of withdrawals due to adverse effects should also be considered. We interviewed the study authors by telephone or wrote for clarification if the studies were described as RCTs but there was poor reporting of the methodology. Melkas T, 14 radiculopathy/ (9102) Oxcarbazepine and MHD block voltage-sensitive sodium channels, stabilizing hyperexcited neuronal membranes, inhibiting repetitive firing, and decreasing the propagation of synaptic impulses. Careers, Unable to load your collection due to an error. We included the following outcomes. Mean pain severity at randomisation also differed from trial to trial but was not analysed further in this review because of limited data availability. The Cochrane Collaboration, 2011, Bad news from the brain: descending 5HT pathways that control spinal pain processing trends. Randomised in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to oxcarbazepine 600 mg/day (300 mg bid; n = 83), 1200 mg/day (600 mg bid; n = 87), 1800 mg/day (900 mg bid; n = 88) or placebo (N = 89). Although the trials each reported no significant difference between oxcarbazepine and placebo for serious adverse events, our metaanalysis of the results showed a higher frequency of serious adverse events in the oxcarbazepine group (RR 3.65, 95% CI 1.45 to 9.20; P = 0.006; n = 634; Analysis 1.4; Figure 5; Table 1). The first look at the 'middle aged Love Island' set has been released, which has already been nicknamed the 'Viagra House' by locals after single parents searched for love 10.trigeminal neuralgia Oxcarbazepine has similar mechanism of action and found to have lesser adverse events when used in various neuralgias in the place of carbamazepine. Oxman AD, Metaanalysis of comparative trials of oxcarbazepine versus carbamazepine in trigeminal neuralgia, 21st American Pain Society Annual Meeting; 2002 Mar 1417; Baltimore (MD). West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Department of Neurology, No. For continuous data, we planned to calculate the weighted mean difference (WMD) or standardised mean difference (SMD). The included trials reported only dichotomous outcomes. 23 or/1422 (175466) To treat trigeminal neuralgia, your doctor usually will prescribe medications to lessen or block the pain signals sent to your brain. VenancioRamirez L, Serious imprecision also exists, because the sample size and event numbers were small and the CI included both little or no effect and substantial effects. Frequently reported adverse effects included dizziness, headache, nausea, somnolence, fatigue, vomiting, back pain, diarrhoea, tremor, skin rash and blurred vision. Two trials of oxcarbazepine in DPN remain unpublished and this introduces a potential risk of publication bias, particularly as the trials that did not provide data reported little or no benefit from oxcarbazepine. #11 "complex regional pain syndrome" Tel: +1 617 3557040. Three doubleblind, placebocontrolled trials have evaluated oxcarbazepine in painful diabetic neuropathy. A total of 71 participants with pain due to radiculopathy were analysed in the oxcarbazepine 1800 mg/day group, and 83 with painful polyneuropathy, nerve injury pain or postherpetic neuralgia were treated with up to 2400 mg/day dose (up to 1800 mg/day for participants aged 70 years or older). For these reasons, we rated the evidence quality for our main outcome measures as very low according to GRADE criteria (Table 1; GRADE). Comparison of tolerability and adverse symptoms in oxcarbazepine and carbamazepine in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and neuralgiform headaches using the Liverpool Adverse Events Profile (AEP), Oxcarbazepine versus carbamazepine in patients with new onset trigeminal neuralgia result of double blind comparative trial [abstract no.P06.116].
