[Study of the efficacy of neuramide in the treatment of pain in cancer patients].

Abstract

The effectiveness of neuramide as an analgesic was assessed in 71 patients with neuritic pain in an oncological radiotherapy ward. 1-2 vials i.m. twice a day for results in 54%, poor results in 13%, and nil results in 21%. The degree of analgesia was that the drug is useful as an analgesic, anti-inflammatory, cell membrane stabilising, and neurotrophic preparation in certain well-defined pain syndromes, especially those of a secondary nature. Attention is also drawn to its excellent tolerance and the complete absence of side-effects.
