A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Memantine for the Prevention or Treatment of Chronic Pain.
Abstract
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are involved in pain signalling and neuroplasticity. Memantine has been shown to have analgesic properties in pre-clinical and small clinical studies. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the efficacy of memantine to prevent or reduce chronic pain.
