Postherpetic Neuralgia

Have your shingles healed but the pain remains? You may have postherpetic neuralgia. Postherpetic neuralgia is a painful condition that may result after experiencing shingles or herpes zoster (pain along the course of a nerve followed by a group of painful blistered lesions). This pain may last for several months or years after the initial outbreak. Genova Clinical Research is currently conducting a research study of an investigational medication for the treatment of post herpetic neuralgia.

This study lasts approximately 16 weeks and up to 12 office visits. Qualified participants will receive study medications, study related physicals and lab work at no charge. Qualified subjects may receive compensation for their time and travel expenses for each completed visit.

Subjects interested in this study should:

• Be 18-80 years of age
• Have postherpetic neuralgia for at least 6 months or longer after the rash has healed
• Not have had cancer in the last 2 years (except basal cell)

If you are interested in finding out more about this study please call Genova Clinical Research at 520-219-6394 for more information. One of our staff will be happy to give you further information regarding this study and will make you an appointment to allow you to discuss the study in more detail with one of our physicians. We look forward to making your research experience a pleasant one.

Postherpetic neuralgia

Genova Clinical Research, Inc., is conducting a research study of an investigational medication vs. placebo (an inactive substance) for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia. Postherpetic neuralgia is a painful condition that may occur after experiencing shingles (pain along the course of a nerve followed by a group of painful, blistered lesions). Postherpetic neuralgia causes moderate to severe pain and burning in the area where the shingles occurred. This type of pain is very difficult to treat and sometimes lasts months to years after the initial outbreak.

This study lasts up to 20 weeks and has up to 10 visits. Qualified participants will receive study medications, study related physicals and lab work at no charge. Compensation may be available to qualified participants for each completed visit for time and travel expenses.

If you are interested in this study you should:

• Be at least 18 years of age
• Have postherpetic neuralgia for at least 3 months
• Not have been diagnosed with Hepatitis B, C or HIV
