Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a medicament for the relief of pain and inflammation, in particular neurogenic inflammation and neuropathic pain.
  • the medicament of the present invention has been found to be especially effective in the relief of peripheral neuropathic pain.
  • Neurogenic inflammation is inflammation of the nerves which is actually caused by the nerves, in the sense that it is caused by the pro-inflammatory neuropeptides released by the nerves when the nerves are irritated, damaged, or injured.
  • the neurogenic inflammation causes the neuropathic pain.
  • Peripheral neuropathic pain is neuropathic pain experienced in the distribution of the peripheral nervous system, i.e. outside the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Typical sites for peripheral neuropathic pain are the heels/hands/feet/elbows/knees.
  • Neurogenic inflammation and the resulting neuropathic pain, typically are difficult to treat and often respond poorly to standard pain treatments.
  • Treatments typically used for neurogenic inflammation and neuropathic pain include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers, anticonvulsant drugs, antidepressant drugs, electrical nerve stimulation, and corticosteroid/local anaesthetic injections; however, none of these treatments reliably reduces the pain in a majority of cases, and in addition may have undesirable side-effects.
  • An object of the present invention is the provision of a medicament capable of providing a convenient, safe and effective relief for neurogenic inflammation and neuropathic pain (including peripheral neuropathic pain), with minimal risk of undesirable side-effects.
  • the present invention provides the use of vitamin D3 for the manufacture of a medicament for the transdermal treatment of neurogenic inflammation and neuropathic pain (including peripheral neuropathic pain).
  • the present invention further provides a method for the relief of neurogenic inflammation and neuropathic pain (including peripheral neuropathic pain) by the transdermal application of a medicament including vitamin D3.
  • the medicament of the present invention includes a carrier medium suitable for transdermal application, in which vitamin D3 is dispersed or dissolved.
  • vitamin D3 is fat soluble.
  • Vitamin D3 is commercially available either as a powder or dissolved in a plant oil; in either form it can be mixed into the carrier medium.
  • suitable carrier mediums for transdermal application would include aqueous-based creams, massage oils, ointments, gels, pessaries/suppositories, patches, and impregnated bandages or other sheet material, e.g. insoles for footwear.
  • vitamin D3 means cholecalciferol, (i.e. the pro-hormone form of vitamin D3) as opposed to the metabolically active form, calcitriol.
  • the preferred range of concentration of the vitamin D3 in the medicament is in the range 5000 IU/gram to 100,000 IU/gram; a concentration of 40,000 IU/gram has been found particularly effective. (IU is an abbreviation of “International Unit”).
  • Vitamin D3 is of course known as a vitamin necessary for bone health, although the recommended daily intake of vitamin D3 is currently a matter of debate.
  • vitamin D3 would have any anti-inflammatory and/or anaesthetic or pain relieving properties when applied externally.
  • vitamin D3 is applied transdermally
  • a treatment for psoriasis in which a cream containing the active form of vitamin D3 (calcitriol) is used.
  • this cream is ineffective for the relief of neurogenic inflammation or neuropathic pain.
  • FIG. 1 is a visual analogue scale diagram showing progress of pain relief for Patient 1
  • FIG. 2 is a visual analogue scale diagram showing progress of pain relief for Patient 2.
  • FIG. 3 Is a visual analogue scale diagram showing the results of a one-year clinical audit on a number of patients.
  • a cream was prepared using a known pharmaceutical cream base plus 12,000 IU/gram powdered vitamin D3 in the form of cholecalciferol (25 (0H) D3).
  • the cream was designed to be suitable for transdermal application by massaging into the skin.
  • Patient 1 Hisstory: MM, age 46, female, elite masters middle distance runner with 2-month history of right inferior heel pain treated initially with subcutaneous prolotherapy, complicated by infection, complaining of inability to run, difficulty walking, and pain at rest. Past history of bilateral peripatellar pain treated with failed surgical decompression, Achillodynia.
  • Patient 2 Hisstory: JF, age 24, female, fitness trainer with 8-month history of left inferior heel pain, complaining of inability to run, difficulty walking, affecting work. Has prior treatment with physiotherapy and podiatry without effect. Past history of bilateral Osgood Schlatter Disease, right medial shin splints and peripatellar pain.
  • Inferior heel pain (plantar fasciitis) is a difficult to treat condition, causing high levels of pain and disability for up to four years in one prospective study of 100 patients (BMJ Clinical Evidence Concise June 2006)
  • the underlying cause of inferior heel pain is postulated to be due to chronic neurogenic inflammation of the distal Tibial nerves branches known as the medial cutaneous calcaneal nerves.
  • the patients were treated with a cream consisting of a known cream base of a type suitable for transdermal applications of medication to which had been added vitamin D3 in oil base form, at a concentration of 40,000 IU/gram.
  • the cream was gently massaged into the skin over the inflamed portion, at least twice a day.
  • Ten of the 14 patients were treated with the vitamin D3 cream only; four of the patients used the vitamin D3 cream in combination with weekly prolotherapy (injections of 20% glucose, 0.1% lignocaine). All patients were monitored at intervals for blood levels of vitamin D3; all levels were normal.
  • FIG. 3 shows the visual, analogue scores for pain, graphed against time.
  • the solid lines represent the cases treated with vitamin D3 cream only; the broken lines show the four cases treated with the combination of prolotherapy and vitamin D3 cream.
  • FIG. 3 shows that there was little difference in outcome between the two treatments, and also shows that there was a strong correlation between initial pain scores and the length of treatment needed:—patients with high initial pain scores required a longer treatment period. However, there was a consistent and high response rate to the treatment with vitamin D3 cream alone.
  • the medicament of the present invention is successful in relieving a wide range of forms of neurogenic inflammation and neuropathic pain, including peripheral neuropathic pain.
  • the cream has been successful in relieving all of the following conditions:—plantar fascia, tennis elbow, golfers elbow, knee pain, Achilles tendon pain, neck pain (whiplash injury) low back pain, chronic exertional compartment syndrome, osteo arthritis symptoms of hand and fingers, fibromyalgia pains, hip pains and shoulder pains, contact dermatitis (especially contact dermatitis caused by cement/concrete and by Diesel), acute contusions, sprains and strains, purigo, first-degree burns (including sunburn), chilblains and shingles.
  • the condition is treated simply by massaging the cream into the affected area of skin.
  • Many sprains and strains and other injuries causing neuropathic pain can become a cause of chronic pain, and the medicament of the present invention is particularly valuable in that it can be used to treat such pain quickly and effectively, thus preventing the neurogenic inflammation from becoming chronic and hence causing chronic pain.
  • the levels of vitamin D3 in the user's blood have been monitored by a series of regular blood tests and it is interesting that in all cases so far, there have been no significant increases of vitamin D3 levels in the user's blood as a result of the use of the medicament.
