Long-term results of therapeutic local anesthesia (neural therapy) in 280 referred refractory chronic pain patients

摘要

BackgroundCan the application of local anesthetics (Neural Therapy, NT) alone durably improve pain symptoms in referred patients with chronic and refractory pain?If the application of local anesthetics does lead to an improvement that far exceeds the duration of action of local anesthetics, we will postulate that a vicious circle of pain in the reflex arcs has been disrupted (hypothesis).
