MEDICATION MANAGEMENT FOR CHRONIC PAIN

PLANO PAIN DOCTOR

Diabetic & Peripheral Neuropathy

Your neuropathy can be managed by medication, but it is not the magic answer.

 

  • Over-the-counter pain medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can relieve mild symptoms.

 

  • Anti-seizure medications can help relieve nerve pain in some patients, but they have their own side effects.

  • Capsaicin cream, the substance which makes peppers hot, can bring some relief to peripheral neuropathy symptoms, but some patients cannot tolerate the possible skin irritation that can be caused by this treatment.

  • Lidocaine patches are another treatment you apply to your skin that might offer pain relief for some patients.

  • Certain anti-depressants can help relieve the pain by interfering with your ability to process the pain, while others are better suited for neuropathy caused by diabetes.
