    AbstractBecause of their localized activity and low systemic absorption, topical analgesics have a favorable safety profile and a low risk for drug-drug interactions. There is a growing body of evidence on the efficacy and safety of these agents in a variety of pain disorders, including the most prevalent neuropathic pain conditions. The molecular basis for the usage of peripheral analgesics in neuropathic pain and the available clinical trial evidence for a wide variety of topical agents are reviewed.
