Clinical Trial Summary

This pilot study will evaluate the effects of a placebo anti-inflammatory diet in individuals with spinal cord injury. It is being performed to ensure that the placebo diet does not induce reductions in inflammation and also adequately conceals group allocation.


Clinical Trial Description

Anti-inflammatory diet is a novel treatment that may be beneficial for managing chronic inflammation and neuropathic pain (NP) after Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). NP is a common complication following SCI that significantly decreases quality of life. Treatment options are limited, and current treatments can have significant side effects. Those with SCI have identified a need for additional treatment options, particularly those that are not medications. As pain is a subjective outcome, awareness of group allocation could influence treatment expectations and participant rated scores of neuropathic pain. It is therefore important to ensure that an adequate placebo intervention is utilized. This pilot study will assess whether the placebo diet to be used in an upcoming RCT provides sufficient group allocation concealment (i.e. ensure participants are unaware of whether they are on the anti-inflammatory diet or placebo diet). This pilot study will also assess whether the placebo diet is in fact inflammation neutral (ie. induces no reductions in inflammation). ;
