Lidocaine transdermal patches reduced pain intensity in neuropathic cancer patients already receiving opioid treatment.
Abstract
Limited efficacy has been observed when using opioids to treat neuropathic pain. Lidocaine patches reduce neuropathic pain in postherpetic neuralgia, but their benefits for cancer-related neuropathic pain remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate a treatment for cancer-related neuropathic pain.
