Muscle relaxant tested as new weapon against shingles pain

NCT ID NCT07378046

Summary

This study is testing whether a common muscle relaxant called baclofen can help reduce the often-severe pain caused by shingles. Researchers want to see if adding baclofen to standard pain treatments provides better relief for 750 adults with recent shingles outbreaks. The main goal is to lower pain scores and see if the drug can help prevent long-term nerve pain after the rash heals.
