Timeline
Interventions
Clonidine-a drug commonly used to treat high blood pressure-has been shown to effectively treat neuropathic pain, is FDA-approved for administration via epidural (an injection given in the lower back), and is the third most commonly prescribed drug for chronic intrathecal (an injection into the cerebrospinal fluid) use in people with chronic pain.
Adenosine-a drug commonly administered intravenously (into a vein) to treat certain types of abnormal heart rhythms-has been found to reduce areas of allodynia (pain caused by a stimulus that does not normally cause pain) after intrathecal, but not intravenous administration in people with neuropathic pain.
