简要总结
The purpose of this study is to see if an FDA-approved drug (Gralise) can help people with certain types of neuropathic pain without causing too many side effects.
详细描述
This research is being conducted to see if the drug Gralise can help people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrom Type I (CRPS I) without causing too many side effects. CRPS I is one of the most common conditions of neuropathic pain (pain that results from damage to nerves in the peripheral nervous system). Gralise is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat postherpetic neuralgia (a complication of the disease Shingles, which is caused by the chickenpox virus), but is not approved to treat CRPS I.

- •Subject has not been on Gralise.
- •Subject has not been on gabapentin for at least one month.

研究组 & 干预措施
CRPS I Pain Subjects
This is an open label study that involves taking Gralise pills (gastic-retentive gabapentin) for 8 weeks.
Day 1-15: Titration phase- titrate Gralise from 300 mg/day to 1800 mg/day Day 16-42: Maintenance phase- maintain the dose of 1800 mg/day Day 43-56: Taper phase- taper the Gralise from 100 mg/day to 300 mg/day
干预措施: Gabapentin (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at Visit 3
时间窗: At visit 3
Subjects rated their pain using the VAS at visit 3, which was the last day of their maintenance phase. After this visit, subjects begin to taper the gralise. The VAS is subject reported on a scale of 0-10 with 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain they can imagine. Results reported are an average of the 3 subjects who completed visit 3.
