Treating Central Neuropathic Pain With Low Dose Naltrexone for People With Spinal Cord Injury
NCT06723561 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to find out how well low dose naltrexone works for people with pain due to spinal cord injury. The main questions it aims to answer are: will low dose naltrexone reduce pain, and increase the quality of life for people with central neuropathic pain due to spinal cord injury. Hypothesis 1: LDN will decrease the severity of CNP in adult patients with SCI as measured by the Neuropathic Pain Scale (NPS) Hypothesis 2: LDN will improve quality of life of patients with SCI as measured by various validated clinical tools There is no comparison group. This study is being completed to give investigators more information for how to best run a larger clinical trial. Participants will be asked to take an oral dose of 4.5mg of naltrexone, daily, for 12 weeks.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06723561
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06723561 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 2, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 10 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Medical College of Wisconsin, which has 614 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Spinal Cord Injury appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which 4.5mg daily dose of naltrexone is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06723561 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Wisconsin. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
