Intravenous Lidocaine: A Promising Option for Fibromyalgia Pain Relief
Recent research highlights intravenous lidocaine (IVL) as a promising option for reducing pain in fibromyalgia (FM) patients, especially when traditional treatments like antidepressants lose effectiveness or cause side effects. A review of 10 studies with 461 patients found short-term pain relief with IV lidocaine, with VAS pain scores dropping significantly after treatment. While side effects were generally mild to moderate, more long-term studies are needed to confirm sustained benefits.
