Clinical Trial Summary

The present study will aim to determine the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of etoricoxib, an NSAID pain reliever, in patients with Neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain, or pain caused by abnormal activity of sensory neurons, remains undertreated. Post herpetic neuralgia (PHN), which is commonly referred to as post-shingles pain, is the most useful disease to study when investigating the efficacy of pain relievers for Neuropathic pain. Therefore, this study will primarily involve patients with PHN.

The hypothesis in this study is that etoricoxib efficacy is superior to that of placebo.
