OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of @entity2682 on @entity158 scores and opiate use. DESIGN: Retrospective review of @entity1 charts who received @entity2682 for at least 30 days. Data were collected concerning @entity1 ' diagnosis, current drug use, concurrent drug use, @entity2682 dose, @entity158 scores, and @entity1 -reported side effects. @entity1 were divided into three groups based on their @entity158 diagnosis; low back, neuropathic, and @entity158 . The neuropathic group was subdivided into @entity14000 , @entity3949 , sympathetically maintained @entity158 , and phantom @entity158 . SETTING: Two tertiary referral teaching hospitals in southeastern Michigan. RESULTS: A total of 122 charts were reviewed and included in this study. A significant decrease in @entity158 scores with @entity2682 was seen in the @entity9 group (paired t-test, p < .0001) but not in the @entity1643 group. Of the @entity9 group, @entity1 with @entity14000 had the greatest decrease in @entity158 scores. Ten @entity1 showed a > 75% decrease in @entity158 scores, of these: nine had a @entity128 , and one had @entity14000 . Opiate use was unchanged in all groups. @entity1 who were taking opiates had significantly less benefit with @entity2682 use in terms of @entity158 score. @entity1 -reported side effects were similar to those reported in a nonchronic @entity158 population. CONCLUSION: @entity2682 may be a useful adjunct for treating @entity9 with a minimum of side effects. Particular advantage may be gained with the use of this drug for @entity14000 and direct @entity1897 .
