A Placebo Controlled, Randomized, Double Blind Trial of Milnacipran for the Treatment of Idiopathic Neuropathy Pain
This is an 11-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of Milnacipran 100 mg/d in patients with idiopathic neuropathic pain. Milnacipran, a dual norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake inhibitor has been a safe and beneficial treatment for patients with fibromyalgia and may be useful to treat patients with painful peripheral neuropathy.
The primary outcome will be assessed by the change in daily averaged weekly 0-10 pain intensity score, from baseline to week 9, by intention to treat analysis. The same analysis will be used on several secondary measures including daily averaged weekly 0-10 pain intensity score the sleep interference scale and the Rand-36 quality of life scale.

---|---|---|
Likert Pain Scale Score
Time Frame: Baseline, 9 weeks
|
The Likert Pain Scale Score is a psychometric scale commonly involved in research that employs questionnaires to measure the intensity of pain.
It is used to determine the level of pain for research participants.
The minimum score of 0 indicates "no pain" which is the better score and the maximum and total score of 10 indicates the "the worst possible pain" which is the worse outcome .
Scores 1-3= Mild, scores 4-6= Moderate, scores 7-10= Severe.
It is the most widely used approach to scaling responses in survey research.
Patients will fill out a pain diary from baseline to end of treatment.
This will be used to assess if there was a reduction in pain of the daily averaged weekly 0-10 pain scale at week 9 compared to the baseline.
The Unit of Measure is the scores on the scale.
