Randomized control trial of topical clonidine for treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy

Topical clonidine significantly reduces pain associated with diabetic neuropathy in subjects with functional nociceptors in the affected skin, as revealed by testing with topical capsaicin. A length-dependent neuropathy with pain in the feet is a common complication of diabetes (painful diabetic neu...

description Topical clonidine significantly reduces pain associated with diabetic neuropathy in subjects with functional nociceptors in the affected skin, as revealed by testing with topical capsaicin. A length-dependent neuropathy with pain in the feet is a common complication of diabetes (painful diabetic neuropathy). It was hypothesized that pain may arise from sensitized-hyperactive cutaneous nociceptors, and that this abnormal signaling may be reduced by topical administration of the α2-adrenergic agonist, clonidine, to the painful area. This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter trial. Nociceptor function was measured by determining the painfulness of 0.1% topical capsaicin applied to the pretibial area of each subject for 30minutes during screening. Subjects were then randomized to receive 0.1% topical clonidine gel (n=89) or placebo gel (n=90) applied 3 times a day to their feet for 12weeks. The difference in foot pain at week 12 in relation to baseline, rated on a 0–10 numerical pain rating scale (NPRS), was compared between groups. Baseline NPRS was imputed for missing data for subjects who terminated the study early. The subjects treated with clonidine showed a trend toward decreased foot pain compared to the placebo-treated group (the primary endpoint; P=0.07). In subjects who felt any level of pain to capsaicin, clonidine was superior to placebo (P
