Arm Description

Intraspinal Placebo delivered continuously for 29 days via an implantable infusion system

Intraspinal Gabapentin Low delivered continuously for 22 days via an implantable infusion system followed by 7 days infusion at half dose

Intraspinal Gabapentin Medium delivered continuously for 22 days via an implantable infusion system followed by 7 days infusion at half dose

Intraspinal Gabapentin High delivered continuously for 22 days via an implantable infusion system followed by 7 days infusion at half dose

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Changes in a Pain Rating Scale After 3 Weeks of Blinded Treatment.
Average pain score calculated over last 7 days of baseline minus average pain score calculated over last 7 days of follow-up using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale where 0=no pain, 10=worst possible pain.
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events
Evaluation of adverse event profiles between placebo and active treatment groups.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Responder Analysis Between Active Treatment and Placebo Groups.
Responders were subjects that reported at least a 30% decrease in average daily pain scores between baseline and Day 22.
