Researchers hunt for better pain relief after spinal injury

NCT ID NCT02218203

Summary

This study tested different combinations of two existing medications (dextromethorphan and lidocaine) to see which mix best reduced chronic nerve pain in people with spinal cord injuries. Twenty-six participants tried different dose combinations in a carefully controlled trial to find the balance between pain relief and side effects. The goal was to find a more effective way to manage this difficult type of pain.
