Preventing pain after spinal cord injury with Pregabalin
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests if taking Pregabalin early after a spinal cord injury can prevent pain from developing. It's a drug that may help calm nerve signals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests an experimental pill for people with spinal cord injury who have long-term nerve pain. It aims to see if the drug can reduce pain and be safe.
This study is looking at how people with spinal cord injuries or peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage outside the spine) experience pain. The goal is to better understand the different types of pain, which could help doctors create more personalized treatments in the future.
This study tests whether stimulating the nerves in your spine (via an epidural device) can improve rehab-related function after a spinal cord injury. It focuses on people with stable, motor-complete paraplegia and long-term injuries, and it compares how you respond to the stimulation during rehabilitation.
This study tests whether pregabalin, a medication commonly used for nerve pain, can reduce chronic pelvic pain in women. It aims to see if it helps when other treatments haven't worked.
This study tests whether a nerve pain medication (pregabalin) helps people with long-term nerve pain sleep better. It involves brain scans to see how the medication affects the brain.
This trial tests a treatment called spinal cord stimulation for people who develop chronic pain after a stroke. The pain is caused by the stroke itself and doesn't respond well to regular pain medicines. The treatment uses a small device to send mild electrical signals to your spinal cord to reduce pain.
