New hope for untreatable spinal cord pain?

NCT ID NCT04379011

Summary

This small, early-stage study tested whether a drug called brivaracetam could reduce severe nerve pain in people with chronic spinal cord injuries. Twenty-four participants who had not found relief from other pain medications took either the drug or a placebo for three months. The main goal was to see if this approach was practical and safe, and to gather initial data on pain relief to plan larger future studies.
