NCT ID NCT06176196

Completed Symptom relief Sponsor: Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study tested whether the medication VX-548 could safely reduce leg pain caused by a pinched nerve in the lower back (lumbosacral radiculopathy). 218 adults with this chronic pain condition for over 3 months were randomly assigned to receive either VX-548 or a placebo. Researchers measured changes in daily leg pain intensity and sleep interference to see if the drug was effective.
