Definitions
- the field of the invention is chronic pain management, and more specifically to administration of specific low doses of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG).
- HCG human chorionic gonadotropin
- Central sensitization is a newly recognized diagnostic target entity that underlies a broad range of phenotypic syndromes, including various chronic musculoskeletal pain, neuropathic pain, and mood and post-traumatic disorders.
- central sensitization means an abnormal state of functioning of the neurons and circuitry of the central pain intensity, perception and modulation systems; due to synaptic, chemical, functional and/or structural changes, in which pain is no longer coupled, as acute nociceptive pain is, to particular peripheral stimuli. Instead, the central nervous system (CNS) initiates, maintains and contributes to the generation of pain hypersensitivity and perception, absent a peripheral stimulus, and ultimately manifests in clinical presentations of phenotypic central sensitivity syndromes (CSS). As used herein, therefore chronic pain and central sensitization represent an overlapping constellation of diagnostic conditions and syndromes.
- Neuroplasticity consists of the physical remodeling of neuronal and microglial cyto-architecture; such as changes in synaptic gap junctions, membrane excitability shifts due to ion channel modulation, and gene transcription.
- Neuroplasticity changes can be bi-directional. In other words, appropriately functioning cell can undergo remodeling that results in a dysfunctional operating state creating the 'disease states' of chronic pain and mood disorders. Conversely, these neuroplasticity mediated
- Pain in general, represents a hyper-excitatory state of neuronal tissue associated with an increase in action potential firing.
- Action potential generation is the result of increased amplitude and/or frequency of electrical signaling. This is created by the cellular integration of changes in molecular signaling, ion gradients and gene expression, ultimately resulting in the perception of acute or chronic discomfort.
- GPCRs G protein-coupled receptors
- the function of these complex trans-membrane receptors is to transduce extracellular stimuli into intracellular signaling including gene transcription.
- GPCRs modulate and/or mediate virtually all physiologic processes in eukaryotic organisms, including acute and chronic pain.
- An estimated 90% of all known GPCRs are expressed in the central nervous system. 80%> of the currently proposed GPCR families have a known role in modulation of pain.
- most of the identified genes associated with pain modulation are GPCR related genes. Stone LS, Molliver DC. In search of analgesia: Emerging role of GPCRs in pain. Molecular Interventions. 2009 (9):5; 234-251.
- the LH/HCG receptor is a GPCR. Id.

- Contemplated manners of facilitating the recipient's taking of the drug(s) include administering the drug(s) as a drug product or combination product, issuing a prescription for the drug(s) in a combination product, suggesting use of the drug(s), as in a book or article, and/or providing the recipient (directly or indirectly) with contact information for a supply of the drug(s) as a drug product. It is contemplated that one or more of the drugs could be self-administered by the recipient as a combination product with therapeutic bioequivalent safety and efficacy.
- the drug(s) are preferably used as a mono-therapy for the central sensitization, but could be combined with other drugs and/or non-drug treatments, including for example, life-style changes such as elimination diet, and anti-inflammatory diet. It is preferred that the drug(s) is/are taken in the absence of concurrent opioid pain treatment, and in the absence of concurrent treatment with another gonadotropic substance. However, when the drug(s) product is / are taken with concomitant opioids the recipient is enabled to decrease gradually and / or discontinue the opioid daily requirement, while continuing to benefit from the main analgesic and mood improving effect of the drug(s) product.

- the drug is either human chorionic gonadotropin (uHCG or rHCG), a pharmaceutically active HCG analogue, or a pharmaceutically active metabolite of the HCG or analogue.
- the step of determining that the subject may suffer from central sensitization disorder can include initiating a plurality of testing procedures.
- laboratory tests may include: (i) at least one test selected from a first group consisting of dynamic tactile allodynia, secondary punctate / pressure hyperalgesia, temporal summation, and sensory after effects, and (b) at least one other test selected from a second group consisting of SMAC 25, fMRI, Neuro - Endocrine profile (neurotransmitters and hormones), CSF study (substance P, glutamate, NGF, BDNF), cytokines profile, genetic polymorphism profile, food allergy panel, and heavy metals analysis panel.

- the method in Figure 5 preferably does not include concomitantly treating the subject with an opioid pain treatment or another gonadotropic substance.
- HCG HCG weight loss program
- HCG was provided to patients in a lyophilized powdered form in 5,000 IU or 10,000 IU vials for reconstitution prior to use and requiring refrigeration after mixing to maintain potency (HCG 5000 IU vials, KRS Global, Boca Raton, FL; HCG 10,000 IU vials, brand name AbraxisTM; HCG 10,000 IU vials, brand name PregnylTM). All HCG was sourced from major suppliers in China coming to the US from FDA approved and CGM P (Current Good
- HCG from these facilities is either sourced from the urine of pregnant women (u-HCG) or from recombinant DNA (r-HCG) production protocols.
- DoloTestTM a validated health-related quality of life (HRQoL) tool for pain patients that evaluates not only pain but also other areas of quality of life that chronic pain often severely impacts.
- HRQoL health-related quality of life
- Patients #11 and #13 both manifested a pain relief response in the context of their initial HCG weight loss cycle which continued to be fully sustained without the need for continued HCG administration or further clinical pain interventions.
- Patient #11 had a severe post herpetic neuralgia requiring multiple daily doses of narcotics that resolved completely with a single six week exposure to HCG and Patient #13 suffered from fibromyalgia and RA
- Range for each DoloTestTM item is 0 - 100.
- HCG appears to be very effective in treating chronic pain and other sequelae of central sensitization at 120 IU/day - 170 IU/day subcutaneously, and more especially 140 IU/day - 160 IU/day
- subcutaneous dosages of 200 IU/day, 300 IU/day and 500 IU/day are all markedly less safe and effective, and lower dosages are also markedly less effective. This seems to be empirically true regardless of age (at least for adults), gender, weight, and other factors.
- HCG is now recognized to have pleiotropic actions throughout the body as evidenced by the documented presence of receptors for HCG in multiple cellular compartments including the CNS. See Rao CV. An overview of the past, present, and future of non-gonadal LH/hCG actions in reproductive biology and medicine. Semin Reprod Med, 2001; 19:7-17; and Lei ZM, Rao CV. Neural actions of luteinizing hormone and human chorionic gonadotropin. Semin Reprod Med, 2001; 9:103-109. The exact functioning of these receptors is not fully elucidated but indications regarding their putative functions have been delineated as the current inventors will cite below.
- hippocampal formation hypothalamus, cerebral cortex, brain stem, cerebellum, pituitary gland, neural retina, spinal cord and the ependymal region (Lei ZM, Rao CV, Kornyei JL, Licht P, Hiatt ES. Novel expression of human chorionic gonadotropin/luteinizing hormone receptor gene in brain. Endocrinology, 1993;132:2262-2270). Both neurons and glial cells are shown to express receptors for HCG (Lei ZM, Rao CV, Kornyei JL, Licht P, Hiatt ES. Novel expression of human chorionic gonadotropin/luteinizing hormone receptor gene in brain. Endocrinology,
- HCG may play an important signaling role in differentiation and development of tissue subsets from germ cell layering during blastocyst stage (Gallego MJ, Porayette P, Kaltcheva MM The Pregnancy Hormones HCG and Progesterone Induce Human Embryonic Stem Cell Proliferation and Diferentiation into Neuroectodermal Rosettes. Stem Cell Research and Therapy 2010; 1 :28) to organ development during fetal life (Abdallah MA, Lei ZM, Li x, Greenwold N Human Fetal Non- Gonadal Tissues Contain HCG/LH Receptors.
- noradrenergic clonal line of rat adrenal pheochromocytoma cells which respond to nerve growth factor. Proced Nat Acad Sci 1976. 73:2424-2428).
- Neuroplasticity is a term that denotes the capacity of neurons to alter functionality and, in this case to form new, or perhaps re-establish old, connections.
- HCG has also been shown to stimulate neuronal differentiation of PC 12 cells.
- PC 12 cells In the adult brain, although the majority of neurons are post-mitotic, there are multi-potent neural stem/progenitor cells generating young neurons throughout life as noted above (Colcci- D'Amato L, Bonavita V, di Porzio U. The end of the central dogma of neurobiology: stem cells and neurogenesis in adult CNS. 2006 Neurol Sci. 27:266-270). Animal models in support of these concepts demonstrate evidence of neuroplasticity and neuronal renewal stimulated by HCG. Specifically, one group reported that HCG administration in animals with spinal cord injury can significantly improve recovery of motor function (see Patil AA, Nagaraj MP. The effect of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) on functional recovery of spinal cord sectioned rats. Acta Neurochir (Wien) 1983(69):205-218).
- HCG human chorionic gonadotropin
- HCG concentrations were maintained in the 200-1000 ng/ml window for these effects to manifest.
- Earlier studies have shown that the above HCG effects on primary neurons and glial cells were significant only with ambient concentrations of 100-250 ng/ml of HCG.
- HCG subcutaneous administration within a narrow window of 120 IU/day - 170 IU/day will initiate a 'neuroplasticity effect' encompassing shifts in ion channel activity, electrical signaling, intracellular molecular signaling and gene transcription resulting in analgesia in those with chronic, central sensitization mediated pain.
- the analgesic effect of HCG in specifically addressing central sensitization has not previously been identified by the medical community.
- An example of one aspect of this type of immediate neuroplasticity effect might include the following:
- glial cells in this setting, are a source of maladaptive secretion of inflammatory mediators (nitric oxide, reactive oxygen species, prostaglandins, pro-inflammatory cytokines, nerve growth factor) that serve to facilitate continued release of excitatory mediators (nitric oxide, reactive oxygen species, prostaglandins, pro-inflammatory cytokines, nerve growth factor) that serve to facilitate continued release of excitatory
- inflammatory mediators nitric oxide, reactive oxygen species, prostaglandins, pro-inflammatory cytokines, nerve growth factor
- HCG administration in specific low dosing ranges has the ability to rejuvenate us in certain ways that re-establish normal physiology and function, in this case restoring more functional pain transmission pathways that result in decreased chronic pain.
- the current inventors postulate, from the above, that it is HCG that plays a principle role in re-setting physiological function at different levels. What better place to look for clinical answers when pathology develops as adults if the machinery - or the blueprint for functionality -is still in place and available? It would just require the appropriate activation, which the current inventors believe they may be observing with these reported cases.
- HCG carries the innate information, or signaling capacity, to allow for these cellular plasticity effects that can facilitate a return to 'normal' homeostasis or healthy neuronal functioning and concomitant diminution or elimination of pain.
- fibromyalgia a complex, poorly understood disorder that has as a central component, chronic neuropathic pain, even the FDA approved medications to treat fibromyalgia pain - two of which are in fact antidepressants - have no effect on depression and anxiety also associated with this disorder.
- the current inventors have found that HCG, through its pleiotropic, synergistic neuroplasticity effects results in a marked improvement in depressive symptoms for those in our series.
- the DoloTestTM Spiritual/Social/Sleep construct findings clearly demonstrate this clinical effect and are supported by the information below. This is a remarkable additional benefit for this patient group in particular. See Recla J. New and emerging therapeutic agents for the treatment of fibromyalgia: an update J Pain Res. 2010; 3: 89-103.
- MDD Major Depressive Disorder
- any chronic pain syndrome often present as co-morbid conditions (30-60% of cases in one report)
- Bair MJ Wu J, Damush TM, Sutherland JM, Kroenke K. Association of depression and anxiety alone and in combination with chronic musculoskeletal pain in primary care patients.
- Psychosom Med, 2008: 70(8);890-7 Major Depressive Disorder
- HCG acts similarly on neural pathways involved in MDD that are subject to a very similar sensitization or 'kindling' phenomenon (implies that each episode of depression make subsequent depressive episodes more likely and less dependent upon an external stimulus such as stress or sickness), where cellular structure and function are modulated and modified through many of the same CNS synaptic, cell signaling and
- Robert Post first proposed that 'kindling' and sensitization may have similar neurobiological underpinnings, such as neuroplastic changes and alterations in gene expression (Post RM. Kindling and sensitization as models for affective episode recurrence, cyclicity, and tolerance phenomenon, Neurosci Biobehav Rev. 2007;31(6):858-73. Epub 2007 Apr 24.
- HCG used in the fashion described here, will prove to be a useful clinical treatment of any chronic pain condition where central sensitization pathways are at work. Whether this is due to an initial peripheral insult that has been perpetuated through damage or injury to PNS or CNS structures, or in those cases where the initial insult is unknown or unclear, but central sensitization pathways have nonetheless been activated.
- disorders would include and not limited to: fibromyalgia; osteoarthritis; rheumatoid arthritis; neuropathy and chronic pain resulting from bulging vertebral discs; post operative pain syndrome; vulvodynia; chronic pain resulting from CNS insults such as stroke, spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis; and PNS lesions or diseases including: direct nerve trauma, toxic and metabolic neuropathies, herpes zoster and AIDS.
