Study Summary

Chronic pain symptoms are very common among U.S. Military Veterans and have a profound negative impact on mental health symptoms and quality of life, in addition to increasing risk for suicidal ideation and suicidal behaviors. There are currently extremely few safe and effective pharmacological treatments for chronic pain disorders, and the clinical need to develop new therapeutics for pain has never been more urgent. Fueled by the worsening opioid crisis and further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, opioid and other drug overdose deaths have climbed to staggeringly high levels. The rapid development of medications for the management of chronic pain conditions that are safe, well-tolerated, efficacious and non-addicting is thus of paramount importance. The two neurosteroid candidates to be investigated in this trial are naturally occurring molecules enriched in human brain and potentially ideal candidates for safe and effective chronic pain treatment.
