Devices and methods are provided for treating a patient having bladder pain and/or irritative voiding symptoms. The method includes administering to the patient's bladder lidocaine or another anesthetic agent continuously over a treatment period of 24 hours or more in an amount effective to achieve a therapeutic effect which is sustained beyond the end of the treatment period.

Devices and methods for sustained treatment of bladder pain and irritative voiding

Methods, systems, devices, and medicaments are provided for locally administering to a pelvic-area organ or tissue structure in a patient at least one drug continuously or continually over a treatment period of 24 hours or more in an amount effective to achieve a therapeutic effect in another organ or tissue structure by means of shared or convergent pelvic afferent pathways. The methods systems, devices, and medicaments can be used in the treatment of IC/BPS, chronic pelvic pain, vulvodynia, orchialgia, urethral syndrome, dysparenia, chronic prostatitis, chronic pelvic pain, levator ani syndrome, irritative bowel syndrome, or a combination thereof. The drug may include anesthetic agents, analgesic agents, antispasmodic agents, antimuscarinic agents, and combinations thereof. The drug may be released from a drug delivery device or a sustained release composition deployed inside the bladder.

Methods for treatment of pelvic pain and/or comorbid conditions

A method of effectively treating pain in humans is achieved by administering buprenorphine in accordance with first order kinetics over an initial three-day dosing interval, such that a maximum plasma concentration from about 20 pg/ml to about 1052 pg/ml is attained, and thereafter maintaining the administration of buprenorphine for at least an additional two-day dosing interval in accordance with substantially zero order kinetics, such that the patients experience analgesia throughout the at least two-day additional dosing interval.

Method of providing sustained analgesia with buprenorphine

Method are provided for treating a patient having bladder pain and/or irritative voiding symptoms. The method includes administering to the patient's bladder lidocaine or another anesthetic agent continuously over a treatment period of 24 hours or more in an amount effective to achieve a therapeutic effect which is sustained beyond the end of the treatment period.

Also disclosed is a method of effectively treating pain in humans or other mammals, comprising orally administering to the patient a an oral dosage form comprising two analgesic compounds consisting of N-[3-(formylamino)-4-oxo-6 -phenoxy-4H-1-benzopyran-7-yl] methanesulfonamide and/or at least one a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and oxycodone and/or at least one a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof such that the two analgesic compounds in an amount sufficient to provide an analgesic effect in a human patient.

Analgesic combination of oxycodone and N-[3-(formylamino)-4-oxo-6-phenoxy-4H-1-benzopyran-7-yl] methanesulfonamide

Disclosed is a pharmaceutical composition, comprising a combination of a dose of meloxicam or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a dose of tramadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, the combination in an amount sufficient to provide an analgesic effect in a human patient. Also disclosed is a method of effectively treating pain in humans or other mammals, comprising administering to the patient a combination of a dose of meloxicam or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a dose of tramadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof such that the dosing interval of the meloxicam overlaps with the dosing interval of the tramadol, the combination in an amount sufficient to provide an analgesic effect in a human patient.

Analgesic combination of tramadol and meloxicam

Disclosed is a pharmaceutical composition, comprising two analgesic compounds and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof consisting of nimesulide and/or at least one pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and oxycodone and/or at least one pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, said two analgesic compounds in an amount sufficient to provide an analgesic effect in a human patient. Also disclosed is a method of effectively treating pain in humans or other mammals, comprising orally administering to the patient an oral dosage form comprising two analgesic compounds consisting of nimesulide and/or at least one pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and oxycodone and/or at least one pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, said two analgesic compounds in an amount sufficient to provide an analgesic effect in a human patient.

Method of providing sustained analgesia with buprenorpine

Solid controlled-release oral dosage forms comprising a therapeutically effective amount of an opioid analgesic or a salt thereof which provide an extended duration of pain relief of about 24 hours, have a dissolution rate in-vitro of the dosage form, when measured by the USP Paddle Method at 100 rpm at 900 ml aqueous buffer (pH between 1.6 and 7.2) at 37&#xb0; C. of from about 12.5% to about 42.5% (by wt) opioid released after 1 hour, from about 25% to about 65% (by wt) opioid released after 2 hours, from about 45% to about 85% (by wt) opioid released after 4 hours, and greater than about 60% (by wt) opioid released after 8 hours, the in-vitro release rate being substantially independent of pH and chosen such that the peak plasma level of said opioid analgesic obtained in-vivo occurs from about 2 to about 8 hours after administration of the dosage form.

Method of treating humans with opioid formulations having extended controlled release

The invention is directed to oral modified/controlled release methylphenidate formulations which provide a rapid initial onset of effect and a prolonged duration of effect. Preferably, the peak concentration is lower than that provided by the reference standard for immediate release methylphenidate formulations, and the duration of effect falls rapidly at the end of the dosing interval so as not to affect the appetite of the patient at dinner nor the patient's sleep thereafter.
