Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Neuropathic pain is a significant point of distress in pediatric oncology patients. While oral pain medications such as acetaminophen, non-steroid inflammatory drugs, gabapentinoids, and/or opioids are commonly prescribed, they can have adverse effects, may interfere with cancer treatment, and increase patient’s pill burden. In adult oncology, topical analgesia with combination ointments such as amitriptyline-ketamine-lidocaine (AKL) have shown some efficacy for neuropathic pain relief, however, no significant data for safety or efficacy of topical analgesia exists in pediatric oncology.
