简要总结
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is associated with severe neuropathic pain that is often refractory to all pharmacological intervention. Preliminary data suggest brivarecetum is a mechanism-based pharmacological intervention for neuropathic pain in SCI. This randomized, placebo-controlled pilot clinical trial will assess feasibility of a 3-month treatment course with brivarecetum.
详细描述
The investigations will assess changes in pain intensity and periaqueductal gray hyperactivity. Baseline periaqueductal gray hyperactivity and microRNA levels will be measured as potential biomarkers of response to treatment. These preliminary findings will be used to design larger clinical trials to establish efficacy of brivarecetum to treat neuropathic pain in SCI.

结局指标
主要结局
Brief Pain Inventory, Worst Pain
时间窗: 3 months
The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) contains 11 numeric rating scales that measure pain intensity and the effect of the pain on a participant's ability to function during various activities of daily living. Each of the 11 scales is rated from 0 (no pain/does not interfere) to 10 (severe pain/completely interferes). Total scores range from 0-110, with higher scores indicating greater pain and interference on daily activities.
Brief Pain Inventory, Least Pain
时间窗: 3 months
The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) contains 11 numeric rating scales that measure pain intensity and the effect of the pain on a participant's ability to function during various activities of daily living. Each of the 11 scales is rated from 0 (no pain/does not interfere) to 10 (severe pain/completely interferes). Total scores range from 0-110, with higher scores indicating greater pain and interference on daily activities.
Brief Pain Inventory, Average Pain
时间窗: 3 months
The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) contains 11 numeric rating scales that measure pain intensity and the effect of the pain on a participant's ability to function during various activities of daily living. Each of the 11 scales is rated from 0 (no pain/does not interfere) to 10 (severe pain/completely interferes). Total scores range from 0-110, with higher scores indicating greater pain and interference on daily activities.
Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS)
时间窗: 3 months
The satisfaction with life scale contains 5 items designed to measure global cognitive judgments of life satisfaction. Each of the 5 items is rated on a 7-point Likert scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). Total scores range from 5 to 35, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction with life.
