Title: Study of Civamide Nasal Solution (Zucapsaicin)
Post by baconisshakespeare on Sep 1^st, 2002, 12:33pm

I couldn't find any info on this when I searched. Anyone involved?

Here's a link to a study at NIH on a new drug:
A Phase III Study of Civamide Nasal Solution (Zucapsaicin) for the Treatment of Episodic Cluster Headache

This study is currently recruiting patients.

Sponsored by
Winston Laboratories

(via clinicaltrials.gov)

hmmmm..... not new.
Capsaicin was and is still used in treating CH.

But very few good results... ever...
Furthermore, it damage the nasal mucose (sp?!?)

Oh, out of topic.... don't believe that Bacon and Shakespeare were the same person. At least I can agree that Bacon rewrote many of the Shakespeare dramas. But.... who knows the truth... ;D ;D

Isn't this the trial that is mentioned under the "clinical trial" button on the left?

Yes, this is the study I believe mentioned under clinical trial. I have signed up for it, during the next cyxle I have. (One just ended).
What do I have to lose, I figure? You can keep taking lithium and imitrex with it, so I'm in.
