Hello Frank et all:
I was involved in the study involving both dextromethorphen and lidocaine
infusions conducted by Dr. Sang at Brigham & Womens hospital in Boston. When
the lidocaine was administered at a higher dose I did recieve very good pain
relief. I was also......much higher than usual so it may not be practical if
one is still working. It's a long story but I found that high dose lidocaine ,
while great pain relief, also caused you to say "interesting" things........
In any event...the work that Dr.Sang and her amazing team does is so important.
We should be thankful for her efforts.
Regards to all,
Neil
