New hope for debilitating pain? study tests repurposed drug

NCT ID NCT06306157

Summary

This study is exploring if a very low dose of an existing medication, naltrexone (called LDN), can help manage the severe pain and other symptoms of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Over six months, 40 participants will take either LDN or a placebo (inactive pill) daily to see if it reduces their pain and improves their quality of life. The main goal is to see if this type of long-term medication study is practical to run and to gather early data on whether LDN might be a helpful new treatment option for this challenging condition.
