Participant Flow

Japanese patients with central neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury who had completed the preceding A0081107 study (NCT00407745) were eligible for this study, and Japanese patients with pain after cerebral stroke or with multiple sclerosis pain were newly recruited.

Participants who had joined A0081107 study (NCT00407745) were treated with pregabalin or placebo for 16 weeks and underwent tapering phase prior to this study.

Measure
Pregabalin
Study period consisted of 4-week dose adjustment phase followed by 48-week maintenance and one-week tapering phase. All participants were given pregabalin twice a day (BID) in the morning and evening. Participants first received 75 milligram (mg) of pregabalin in the evening of Day 1, and then 150 mg/day from Day 2 onward during the first week. The dosage could be adjusted to the maintenance dose of 150, 300, 450, or 600 mg/day by one step (±150 mg/day) in consideration of safety and efficacy on pain control during the dose adjustment phase.

DVT was defined if a segment of the deep vein of the lower limb was not compressible or a previous compressive vein became non compressive or there was no flow in the underlying vessel. Symptoms of DVT included pain in the lower limb, localized tenderness, swelling, pitting edema, collateral superficial veins (non-varicose), and skin redness. The symptom was assessed as mild, moderate or severe.

Timeframe: Baseline, Weeks 4, 20, 36, 52, and 53

Population: The safety analysis set consists of all participants who received at least one dose of study medication in this long-term study.

DVT was defined if a segment of the deep vein of the lower limb was not compressible or a previous compressive vein became non compressive or there was no flow in the underlying vessel. Symptoms of DVT included pain in the lower limb, localized tenderness, swelling, pitting edema, collateral superficial veins (non-varicose), and skin redness. The symptom was assessed as mild, moderate or severe.

Pregabalin
n=103 Participants
Study period consisted of 4-week dose adjustment phase followed by 48-week maintenance and one-week tapering phase. All participants were given pregabalin twice a day (BID) in the morning and evening. Participants first received 75 milligram (mg) of pregabalin in the evening of Day 1, and then 150 mg/day from Day 2 onward during the first week. The dosage could be adjusted to the maintenance dose of 150, 300, 450, or 600 mg/day by one step (±150 mg/day) in consideration of safety and efficacy on pain control during the dose adjustment phase.

Population: The safety analysis set consists of all participants who received at least one dose of study medication in this long-term study.

The Sheehan-STS is an 8-item prospective rating scale that tracks treatment-emergent suicidal ideation and behaviors. Participants who reported a score of ≥1 (5-point scale ranging from 0: not at all to 4: extremely) for Item 2, 3, 4 or 5 of the Sheehan-STS prognostic scale is considered to have suicidal ideation as the scores are mapped to Category 4 (suicide ideation) of the Columbia Classification Algorithm of Suicide Assessment.

The mBPI-10 is a self administered questionnaire that assesses pain interference with functional activities over the past week. These items are measured on an 11 point scale, ranging from "does not interfere" (0) to "completely interferes" (10). A composite score, the Pain Interference Index, will be calculated by averaging the 10 items that comprise the scale. Change = observation mean at Week 52 minus baseline mean.

Pregabalin
n=103 participants at risk
Study period consisted of 4-week dose adjustment phase followed by 48-week maintenance and one-week tapering phase. All participants were given pregabalin twice a day (BID) in the morning and evening. Participants first received 75 milligram (mg) of pregabalin in the evening of Day 1, and then 150 mg/day from Day 2 onward during the first week. The dosage could be adjusted to the maintenance dose of 150, 300, 450, or 600 mg/day by one step (±150 mg/day) in consideration of safety and efficacy on pain control during the dose adjustment phase.
