ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
We analyzed retrospectively the effect of pyridoxine in the treatment of peripheral nerve related foot pain because we have seen favorable clinical results from it as a monotherapy. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
We analyzed the clinical results of 200 cases of peripheral nerve related foot pain, treated with pyridoxine from March 2009 to February 2012. We devided them into three groups, peripheral neuritis, Morton's neuroma and posttraumatic neuralgia and recorded percentage of improvement of pain, compared to initial pain level at 2 weeks and 6 weeks.RESULTS:
There were 127 peripheral neuritis cases, 22 Morton's neuroma and 51 posttraumatic neuralgia. At 2 weeks after treatment, 135 cases(67.5%) showed pain relief. At 6 weeks, 36 cases(21%) showed complete improvement of pain, 81 cases(47%) showed more than 50% of improvement, 22 cases(13%) showed less than 50% of improvement and 33 cases(19%) showed no improvement. There are 4 cases of gastrointestinal discomfort and 2 cases of aggravation of nervy pain.CONCLUSION:
Pyridoxine was effective drug in the treatment of peripheral neuropathic pain in terms of pain relief, safety and cost effectiveness. So it can be an available first line drug before adding other drugs.
