II. RESEARCH IN PROCESS:

OPPORTUNITIES

Post Exercise RCT Dextrose Cream

• Location: Vancouver

• Primary Investigatory: Helene Bertrand

• Status: Preparing for May 6, 2012 (Vancouver Marathon)

Leg pain > 5/10 Post Marathon

Willing to apply cream three times daily? If yes, Randomize. Treat both sides if opposite side has pain. Gather data on each leg

that has pain > 5/10.

E mail Data collection of AM NRS daily X 5 days.At end of 5 days a 7 point Likert Scale response will be requested

to the questions “I plan to use a cream like this in the future?”

Vehicle Cream Only for 5 days

Dextrose vs Vehicle Cream for Post Marathon Pain

20 20

1 month recheck for any potential side effects.Comfortable running distance at 1 month

Dextrose + Vehicle Cream BID-TID for 5 days

Arthroscopic Study Cartilage Growth

• Location: Rosario

• Primary Investigator: Gaston Topol

• Status: 1st group of 6 with 12.5% dextrose completed. 2nd group of 6 underway with 25% dextrose.

Knee OA: Double Arthroscopy Protocol

Injection of 12.5% dextrose @ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 month. (25% for 2nd group) (9

ml with HRUS guidance)

Arthroscopy #1 Then wait until return to baseline symptoms

Follow for 1 Year with Injection every 2-3 Months if symptomatic

Arthroscopy #2 at 6 Mo

Use medial lift in 2nd group)

Histological Investigations • Methylene Blue: Shows cartilage buds.

• Hematoxin and Eosin Staining:  Column orientation (organized cartilage) vs sporadic clumped (degenerative cartilage)

• Saff O: Mucopolysaccharide (MPS) activity measure. Pale in OA (dying cartilage). Red with regeneration .

• Polarized light: Fibrocartilage shows fibers distinctly. Hyaline cartilage shows glassy appearance. (No fibers)

• Collagen typing:  type 1 in fibrous tissue;  type II in both fibrous and hyaline cartilage. Not essential but orthopedic community will enquire.

• Mechanical properties: Not possible on small biopsy and not expected.  

Finger OA RCT: Dextrose Cream

• Location: Guadalajara, Buenos Aires

• Potential Primary Investigators: David de la Mora, Irene Briseno, Gonzalo Yamauchi.

• Status: Cream approval issues blocking HSC approval in 1 site. Pre-HSC submission in 2nd.

3 months of bilateral finger pain (Minimum 6/10) +At least one painful joint on fingers 2-5 + No finger “sticking”/No Painful flexor nodule + No worse pain in other areas +Inflammatory arthritis lab testing negative

3 Mo Data (Grip Pain + AUSCAN)

Finger OA: Dextrose vs Xanthan Gum

Dextrose + Vehicle Cream Xanthan Gum + Vehicle Cream 15 15Nighttime with gloves

Epidural Dextrose Study

• Location: Hilo Hawaii, Rosario Argentina

• Primary Investigators: Liza Smigel, Gaston Topol (Resident)

• Status: Underway Hilo. Pre HSC Rosario

Randomized Comparison of Immediate Analgesic Effects of 5% Dextrose in Water vs Normal Saline and 1 Year

Outcome Data of 5% Dextrose administration.

Dextrose TMJ Study

• Location: Buenos Aires, Hong Kong

• Primary Investigator: Miguel Zarate, Ricardo Frusso, Stanley Lam.

• Status: Near HSC approval. Delay prior to HSC submission. Pilot completed

Facial Pain > 5/10 + Jaw symptoms > 5/10+ Exam for Obvious Dental Issues?

Symptoms referable to jaw after exam? If Yes, Randomize. Treat both sides if opposite side has pain or jaw dysfunction, but

gather data on the worst side

6 Month Data Collection

Water/Lido .2% 1 ml @ 0, 1, and 2 mo.

RCT of Dextrose vs Lidocaine Injection for TMD

1 Year Data

Dex 20%/Lido .2% 1ml @ 0, 1, and 2 mo

PRN Injection

Pilot Results: NRS Scale Changes 0 to 6 Months For

Dextrose (D) vs Lidocaine (L)

P Values for 10 Subject Study: 0 to 6 Months

• Multivariate analysis Dextrose Vs Lidocaine: Dextrose better (p = .049)

• Univariate analysis Dextrose vs Lidocaine

Dextrose better in pain improvement (p = .013

Dextrose better in function improvement (p = .020)
