First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study tests whether a very low dose of naltrexone, a drug usually used for addiction, can help reduce pain and other symptoms in people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Forty adults with severe CRPS pain will receive either the drug or a placebo for six months. The main goal is to see if it's possible to run a larger study, but researchers will also track pain scores and side effects.
