A member asked:
My doctor has said i may be able to have buprenorphine for pain control. is this successful for neuropathic type pain ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Pain is very subjective, and buprenorphine does work on the mu opiate receptors. Frequently, gabapentin (neurotinin) or pregabalin (lyrica) works well on neuropathic pain also.
