Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of Initiation Time on the Efficacy of Gabapentin in Treating Neuropathic Pain in SCI (NCT NCT04256603)

NCT ID: NCT04256603

Last Updated: 2021-11-15

Results Overview

To determine if the time from injury influences the prevalence of neuropathic pain in acute SCI. Average of the pain during the previous 7 days on self-identified nerve or neuropathic pain levels (0-10) on 5 different measurements at the time of discharge on the Neuropathic Pain Scale. 0 being best (no pain)- 10 being worst pain. Total score range from 0 to 50.

Measure
Gabapentin Group
The arm included subjects who met all inclusion criteria, those with acute spinal cord injury admitted to acute care hospital and were approved and admitted to inpatient rehabilitation unit. All subjects in this group were started on Gabapentin prior to admission and continued during care. All subjects were screened with questionnaires with data collection based on electronic medical records.
No Gabapentin Group
