Summary
Methadone and ketamine are effective for neuropathic pain management. However, the benefits
of the association of both drugs are uncertain. Here, the investigators conducted a
randomized, double-blind, in parallel, active controlled clinical trial to test the
hypothesis that methadone combined ketamine (methadone/ketamine) is more effective than
methadone or ketamine alone in reducing neuropathic pain.
