Spinal Cord Injuries Clinical Trial
Official title:
Feasibility of Early Gabapentin as an Intervention for Neurorecovery
The objective of the proposed study is to conduct the first ever prospective, dose-exploration trial to test the feasibility of early administration of gabapentin as an intervention for neurorecovery. This research project falls under the Intervention Development stage of research as the primary goal is to assess the feasibility of conducting a well-designed intervention efficacy study in the future.
