Radiculopathy of Lumbosacral Spine Due to Disc Disorder Clinical Trial
Official title:
Short-term Effectiveness of Gabapentin Versus Placebo in Acute Lumbosacral Radiculalgia by Herniation Disc: a Prospective, Multicentric, Randomized, Controlled, Double-blind Study
The study consists in evaluating the analgesic efficacy of Gabapentin versus Placebo in the short term (72h) acute lumbosacral radiculalgia due to disc herniation. In addition to the usual analgesic treatment, the patient will receive gabapentin or placebo. During the three days of treatment, an evaluation of the pain and the tolerance will be performed within the two groups: experimental and control.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of GABAPENTIN versus Placebo in 72h for hospitalised patients suffering from acute lumbosacral radiculalgia due to disc herniation. After signing the consent form, patient's clinical data will be collected and the patient will be allocated to one treatment arm by the randomisation process (ratio 1:1 and stratified on the strong opioid intake). Two treatment arms are possible : - Experimental group: GABAPENTINE per os - DAY1:300 mg - DAY 2: 600 mg - DAY3 : 900 mg - Control group: placebo (same dosage per day as GABAPENTINE). ;
