A Study With Lido-Patch and Placebo Plaster in Patients Suffering From Postherpetic Neuralgia (PHN)
brief summary
This study investigated the efficacy of the Lido-Patch (lidocaine 5% medicated plaster) in treatment of pain caused by PHN which is a neuropathic pain syndrome (nerve-related pain conditions) following an acute attack of herpes zoster (shingles).
detailed description
Participants were treated up to 10 weeks in this study: an 8-week Run-in Phase of open-label treatment with Lido-Patch was followed by a 2-day to 14-day Double-blind Phase with Lido-Patch or Placebo Patch treatment. Only participants responding to open-label treatment with Lido-Patch were included in the Double-blind Phase. In a Follow-up Phase without treatment, the safety of participants was monitored for 1-2 weeks. Alternatively, patch application could be continued for up to 12 months in the clinical study KF10004/02.
