Participant Flow

24 Subjects with chronic pain were recruited from the Center for Clinical Research. Each subject was scheduled for a study visit and randomized to receive spinal clonidine, spinal adenosine or placebo. The subject was scheduled for a second study visit and received the opposite treatment from the first visit.

24 subjects consented and enrolled 2 subjects withdrawn prior to group assignment because they did not meet inclusion / exclusion criteria on second review
