Summary
This study tests whether the muscle relaxant baclofen can safely reduce pain from shingles (herpes zoster). Researchers will enroll 750 adults with moderate to severe pain who have had a shingles rash for less than 90 days. Participants will take baclofen or a placebo, and pain levels will be tracked using a 0-10 scale. The goal is to find a better way to manage shingles pain and lower the risk of long-term nerve pain.
