Summary
Pre-clinical studies in rats suggest that D-cycloserine (DCS) is effective in the management
of chronic neuropathic pain. This pilot study will attempt to determine the effect of
D-cycloserine in the treatment of chronic low back pain. Other aims of this study are to
determine the safety of D-cycloserine in the treatment of chronic low back pain and to
determine which pain measurement scales are best at measuring the efficacy of treatment.
