NCT ID NCT02601586
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether two drugs, oxycodone (a strong painkiller) and levodopa (a Parkinson's medication), can reduce nerve pain caused by Parkinson's disease. 67 adults with Parkinson's and chronic nerve pain took one of the drugs or a placebo for 8 weeks, alongside their usual treatment. The goal was to see if either drug could lower average pain intensity better than a placebo.
