Chronic Low Back Pain With a Neuropathic Component Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomized Double Blind Placebo Controlled Parallel Group Study Of The Efficacy And Safety Of Concomitant Administration Of Celecoxib And Pregabalin Compared With Celecoxib Monotherapy, In Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain Having A Neuropathic Component
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with celecoxib and pregabalin together would prove to be more effective in relief of pain than treatment with celecoxib alone in people who have chronic low back pain with a probable neuropathic component.
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of the concomitant use of pregabalin and celecoxib compared with celecoxib monotherapy for the symptomatic relief of pain in patients with chronic low back pain with a probable neuropathic component. The secondary objectives are: - Demonstrate the additional benefit of adding pregabalin to celecoxib monotherapy. - To evaluate the concomitant use of pregabalin and celecoxib compared to celecoxib monotherapy in a set of patient reported measures (sleep, depression, anxiety, impact of pain in daily functions, patient's global impression of change and patient's perception of the treatment). - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of celecoxib and of the concomitant administration of pregabalin and celecoxib. ;
