Superiority of capsaicin 8 patch versus oral pregabalin on dynamic mechanical allodynia in patients with peripheral neuropathic pain

摘要

BackgroundDynamic Mechanical Allodynia (DMA) is a typical symptom of neuropathic pain (NP). In a recent study, the capsaicin 8% patch was noninferior to pregabalin in overall peripheral NP relief. In this study, we report the comparison of the two treatments in relieving DMA.
