Clinical Psychiatry News - Use factors besides efficacy to guide neuropathic pain Tx.(Pain Medicine)

“Each drug that we use has been studied in one or two different neuropathic pain disorders and found to be relatively efficacious, but there’s no drug that’s been tested in all the disorders,” and few head-to-head comparisons exist, he added at a psychopharmacology congress sponsored by the Neuroscience Education Institute.
