Study Summary

This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind 4x4 crossover clinical trial was part of a larger NIH-funded study to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of three doses of chronic oral (PO) dextromethorphan compared to placebo in central neuropathic pain following spinal cord injury. Subjects' maximally tolerated doses (MTD) were first determined to establish individual dose-analgesic response relationships in a run-in period; following a washout period, subjects were then randomized to receive an order of four doses of dextromethorphan (including placebo) in a 4x4 Latin square cross-over design.

Primary Outcome

Primary outcome was percent change from baseline in mean pain intensity (transformed Gracely Scale; 0-35). Baseline was defined as the week prior to randomization. The greater the percent change, the bigger the reduction in pain intensity.
