E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Information not present in EudraCT |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Provision of informed consent. 2. Be able to understand and comply with the requirements of the study. 3. Female or male subjects 18-80 years of age. 4. Female subjects must be post-menopausal by at least 2 years or surgically sterile. 5. Diagnosis of posttraumatic neuralgia, defined as peripheral nerve injury caused by trauma or surgery, with pain and sensory disturbance in a location corresponding to the innervation area of the injured nerve. The sensory disturbance should consist of hypo- and/or hyperesthesia for mechanical stimuli (touch or pin-prick) in the relevant nerve territory, assessed with clinical sensory examination. 6. At least 6 months duration of pain attributed to posttraumatic neuralgia. 7. Mean pain intensity ≥40 on 100 mm VAS during baseline week, based on recordings of average pain intensity last 24 hours. All inclusion criteria, except no 7, must be fulfilled at visit 1. All inclusion criteria must be fulfilled at visit 2. |
