Tramadol in neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
To assess the efficacy and safety of tramadol for relieving neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury (SCI). ⋯ Tramadol might be tried for neuropathic pain after SCI after the use of gabapentin/pregabalin, and tricyclic antidepressants have been found to be insufficient. Titration should be slow and individual, to minimize the risk of adverse events.
