Each 12 items ranged from 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes). Penn-FPS-R total score was calculated by adding scores of all items and had a score range of (does not interfere) 0 to 120 (completely interferes).Higher Penn-FPS-R total scores signifies worse condition. Participants were asked to complete the Penn-FPS-R at the beginning and end of each treatment period.

Recruitment details

There were 2 phases in the study: double blind treatment (DBT) phase followed by open label extension (OLE) phase. Participants after completing DBT phase could enter OLE phase if the Principal Investigator (PI) believed open-label treatment offered an acceptable risk-benefit profile. A total of 65 participants with refractory trigeminal neuralgia (TN) were enrolled in the study.

Pre-assignment details

Out of 65 participants, only 30 were randomized in DBT phase, and 35 participants were not randomized (screen failure \[28\], sponsor decision \[1\], medical monitor decision \[1\], physician decision \[1\], withdrawal of consent \[4\]).
