High-Concentration Capsaicin Patch Reduces Neuropathic Pain Intensity

A high-concentration capsaicin patch (HCCP) has been found to effectively reduce pain intensity for patients with neuropathic pain, according to a study published in Pain Practice. The study analyzed data from 97 patients and revealed a significant decrease in average daily morphine equivalent dose during HCCP treatment. The findings suggest potential benefits of repeated HCCP applications for various pain etiologies, offering promising implications for neuropathic pain management.
