Summary
Many people with polyneuropathy suffer from pain which is difficult to treat. Escitalopram is
a relatively new drug used in the treatment of depression. Escitalopram's action mechanism on
the brain suggests that escitalopram also may have an effect on neuropathic pain. This study
will test the efficacy of escitalopram in patients with painful polyneuropathy.
