  1. Clarification of study codes

    Some clarification is needed. The pregabalin studies are referred to not by author but by a code. I am in possession of Rosenstock et al (reference #15), and I notice that it enrolled 76 patients on pregabalin 100 mg tid, with 70 patients on placebo. I infer that this is “DPN-131,” though I find this code nowhere in the Rosenstock article, nor do I find a key to the code on the website.
    Can this be clarified?
