Purpose
This study will determine whether treatment with an extended-release opioid or topical lidocaine is effective in relieving distal symmetric lower extremity burning pain associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). If treatment with topical lidocaine is efficacious, it will have important implications for understanding this chronic pain syndrome, which is widely assumed to be caused by central nervous system pathology.

- Mean daily diary pain ratings during final week of each treatment period [ Time Frame: Daily ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]subject identifies daily pain rating using a numeric rating scale
- Tolerability (e.g., number of adverse effects, number of drop-outs) [ Time Frame: rating of adverse events occur at each visit ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]subject is questioned regarding any adverse events that have occured since the last contact; also subject can document any issues on daily pain rating diaries
- Safety (i.e., number of serious adverse events) [ Time Frame: rating and review of any adverse events occurs at each visit ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Subject is asked about any adverse events that may have occurred since last contact; also subject can document any adverse events on daily pain diary scales
- Brief Pain Inventory interference items [ Time Frame: occurs Visit 1, 3,4,5 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]subject completes the brief pain questionaire
- Daily diary sleep interference ratings [ Time Frame: daily ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Subject identifies degree of sleep interference on a daily basis
- Beck Depression Inventory [ Time Frame: occurs at Visit 1, 3, 4 and 5 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Subject completes Beck questionaire
- Short-form Health Survey 36 (SF-36) [ Time Frame: Occurs at Visit 1, 3, 4 and 5 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Subject completes questionaire
- Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire [ Time Frame: Occurs Visit 1, 3, 4 and 5 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Subject completes questionaire
- Patient Global Impression of Change scale [ Time Frame: Occurs Visit 3, 4, 5 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Subject completes questionaire
- Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale [ Time Frame: Occurs at Visit 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Subject completes questionaire on functional status

Detailed Description:
This study is a single-center, double-blind, 15-week, 3-period crossover clinical trial. Subjects will complete each of the following 5-week long periods (unless they withdraw from the trial): 1) placebo pills and topical lidocaine patches, 2)extended-release oxycodone pills and placebo(vehicle) patches, and 3)placebo pills and placebo patches. Sixty subjects will be randomized to one of 6 treatment sequences. It is expected that this trial will take approximately 2 years to complete.
