Early gabapentin for recovery after spinal cord injury
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies whether starting gabapentin within 5 days after a traumatic spinal cord injury is safe and helpful for early recovery. It will mainly look at feasibility—whether patients can take the medicine and whether it affects early neurologic progress.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a traumatic spinal cord injury
- You are 18 years old or older
- You can start the study medicine within 120 hours (5 days) after the injury
- You can understand the study and communicate well enough to give consent
- Your brain injury is not moderate or severe around 5 days after injury
