Default Clinical Trial
I got "accepted" in a clinical trial by Avanir. AVP-923 - oral investigational drug for neuropathic pain in people with MS.

I'm hoping I get the real stuff instead of placebo...

This'll be my 1st clinical trial since 1988 (Optic Neuritis Treatment Trials).

Tom

Good deal! When do you start? Fingers are crossed you get the real thing and it is helpful to you!

Are you trying it for the pain or PBA?

One of my first neuros suggested I get in any trials I can find. Unfortunately I never lived in an area where they were being conducted.
