Study of Experimental Models of Pain and Inflammation.
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT01097902
Purpose
The experimental pain model studied in this proposal show characteristics of an inflamed
wound with a pro-inflammatory response. This study will help discover candidate genetic
and/or proteomic pain biomarkers that could provide objective and mechanism based tests to
diagnose, monitor or quantify pain. We also hope to determine the measurable effects of a
known non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) on biomarkers of pain and inflammation.
