简要总结

Multiple sclerosis is often associated with pain. There is no standard treatment of this type of pain. Levetiracetam is a new anticonvulsant and it is the hypothesis that it could relieve central pain in multiple sclerosis. This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial on the effect of levetiracetam 3000 mg daily on pain in multiple sclerosis.
