入选标准

  • Inclusion Criteria:
  • Male/female subject aged 18 years or older.
  • Pain present for at least 6 months after healing of the acute herpes zoster skin rash.
  • Pain intensity score assessed on an 11-point numerical pain rating scale with a score of at least 4 at the screening visit and with an average weekly score of at least 4 on an 11-point numerical pain rating scale during baseline period.

排除标准

  • Subject getting any kind of psychological support to help cope with pain such as biofeedback or behavioral cognitive therapy.
  • Subject who had undergone or who is scheduled for neurolytic or neurosurgical therapy for post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) or who receives trans-electrical neural stimulation (TENS.
  • Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) or permitted opioid analgesics ('strong' opioids are forbidden) that started less than 30 days and/or are not stabilized prior to screening and/or are not expected to be kept stable during the study.
  • Intake of more than two pain treatments at trial entry (screening visit) including Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or permitted opioid analgesics.
  • Subject being treated with Carbamazepine for any indication.
  • Known coexistent source of painful peripheral neuropathy or other systemic disease associated with a secondary painful neuropathy.
  • Subject being treated in the four weeks prior to screening visit with 'strong' opioid analgesics.

结局指标

主要结局

Percentage Change in Average Pain Intensity Score From Baseline to the Last Week of the 4-week Treatment Period

时间窗: Baseline, last week of the 4-week Treatment Period

Pain intensity was scored on a 11-point numeric pain rating scale, ranging from 0 to 10 where 0= no pain and 10= worst possible pain. A negative value in percent change from Baseline indicates a decrease in average pain intensity score from Baseline.

次要结局

  • Responder Rate in Average Pain Intensity Score at the Last Week of the Treatment Period Compared to the Baseline Period(Baseline, last week of the 4-week Treatment Period)
  • Absolute Change From the Randomization Visit to the Evaluation / Early Discontinuation Visit in the Total Pain Score of the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ)(Randomization visit, Evaluation / Early Discontinuation visit (up to Week 4))
  • Absolute Change From the Randomization Visit to the Evaluation / Early Discontinuation Visit in the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of the SF-MPQ(Randomization visit, Evaluation / Early Discontinuation visit (up to Week 4))
  • Percentage of Subjects With Categorized Change in Post-herpetic Neuralgia Assessed by Investigator's Global Evaluation Scale at the Evaluation / Early Discontinuation Visit(Randomization visit, Evaluation / Early Discontinuation visit (up to Week 4))
  • Absolute Change From the Randomization Visit to the Evaluation / Early Discontinuation Visit in the Affective Score of the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ)(Randomization visit, Evaluation / Early Discontinuation visit (up to Week 4))
  • Percent Change From the Baseline Period to Each Weekly Mean in the Pain Intensity Score(Baseline, each Evaluation visit (up to Week 4))
  • Percent Change From the Baseline Period to the Last Week of the Treatment Period in the Sleep Interference Score(Baseline, last assessment during the 4-week Treatment Period)
  • Percent Change From the Baseline Period to Each Weekly Mean of the Treatment Period in the Sleep Interference Score(Baseline, each Evaluation visit (up to Week 4))
  • Absolute Change From the Randomization Visit to the Evaluation / Early Discontinuation Visit in the Sensory Score of the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ)(Randomization visit, Evaluation / Early Discontinuation visit (up to Week 4))
  • Absolute Change From the Randomization Visit to the Evaluation / Early Discontinuation Visit in the Present Pain Intensity (PPI) Score of the SF-MPQ(Randomization visit, Evaluation / Early Discontinuation visit (up to Week 4))
  • Percentage of Subjects With Categorized Change in Pain Assessed by Patient's Global Evaluation Scale at the Evaluation / Early Discontinuation Visit(Randomization visit, Evaluation / Early Discontinuation visit (up to Week 4))
  • Percent Change From Randomization Visit to the Evaluation / Early Discontinuation in the Brush-evoked Allodynia Area Measured by the Investigator(Randomization visit, Evaluation / Early Discontinuation visit (up to Week 4))
  • Percent Change From Randomization Visit to the Evaluation / Early Discontinuation in the Brush-evoked Allodynia Intensity Rated by the Patient(Randomization visit, Evaluation / Early Discontinuation visit (up to Week 4))
