Safety and Efficacy of Cunermuspir on Energy, Strength, and Fatigue in Patients With Nerve or Muscle Pain
March 24, 2021 updated by: Mitosynergy LLC
A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, Parallel Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Cunermuspir on Energy, Strength, Fatigue and Discomfort in Subjects With Nerve or Muscle Pain
Male and female participants were selected based on chronic neuromuscular pain.
Patients were instructed to take two doses of the placebo or cuprous nicotinic acid chelate Cunermusmir twice a day for 28 days.
Hypothesis: Cunermuspir would improve quality of life as determined by several questionnaires.

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
A total of 72 subjects were consented and screened, with 56 subjects (28 males and 28 female) being eligible to participate in the study.
Fifty-six subjects with muscle/nerve pain were randomized at a ratio of 1:1 to one of two treatment groups.
To evaluate primary and secondary objectives, study assessments were conducted at Baseline, and Day 28 ± 2. The Individualized Neuromuscular Quality of Life Questionnaire (INQoL), Symptom Impact Questionnaire (SQIR), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) were completed by participants to assess physical function, pain, fatigue/energy and cognitive function.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Neuromuscular Symptoms
Time Frame: baseline and 28 days after enrollment
|
Quality of life was assessed by using the Individualized Neuromuscular Quality of Life Questionnaire (INQoL) Answers to symptom questions are scored from 0 to 6 or 7 with 0 being "none at all" and and 6 to 7 being "an extreme amount" There are three questions regarding pain.
The pain score is (a+b+c)/19 x100.
The higher the score, the greater the symptom impact.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Household Chores and Neuro Muscular Sumptoms
Time Frame: baseline and 28 days after enrollment
|
Physical function in performing household chores was assessed using the Revised Symptom Impact Questionnaire (SQIR) For each household chore participants are asked to check 1 of 11 boxes between "no difficulty" and "extremely difficult" No difficulty is scored as 0 and extreme difficulty with the task is scored as 10.
The higher the score, the more difficulty experienced performing the chore.
Friend & Bennett Arthritis Res & Therapy 2011.
Household chores are just one module with 9 questions for a maximum of 90 points.
These scores are summed and divided by 3. Module 2 relates to the emotional impact with only two questions for a total of 20 points.
Module 3 relates to physical symptoms with a total of ten questions worth a maximum of 100 points.
This score is divided by 2. The three modules are summed for a total impact score of 100 points.
A score of 0 indicates absolutely no impact and a score of 100 the greatest possible impact.

baseline and 28 days after enrollment

Cognition
Time Frame: baseline and 28 days after enrollment
|
Cognition is the mental process of knowing, including aspects such as awareness, perception, reasoning, and judgment.
The mini-mental state exam (MMSE) puts a number to "cognition."
Any score of 24 or more out of a total 30 points is considered normal cognition.
A test taker may be asked to orientate in space and time by recalling aspects of the physical location as well as month, day, year, and perhaps season.
Simple mathematical calculations like counting backwards from 100 by seven may also be included.
A complex command such as redrawing geometric figures scores six points in this exam.
Since none of the participates were cognitively impaired, the investigators decided to make obtaining a perfect score on this exam an outcome measure.
