Erythromelalgia (EM) is a rare autosomal dominant neuropathy characterized by the combination of severe burning pain and erythematous warm extremities. Chronic pain control is most often unsuccessful and a completely effective therapy is yet to be identified. Recent studies have reported significant improvements in pain management using a combination of amitriptyline and ketamine in a topical formulation. We describe a 1-year follow-up pain control success case of a male patient with EM, proposed for topical use of a 2% Amitriptyline and 0.5% Ketamine gel.
红斑性肢痛症(erythromelalgia,EM)是一种罕见的常染色体显性遗传性神经病,其特征是严重的灼烧样疼痛和红斑性肢端温热。慢性疼痛控制通常是不成功的,尚未确定完全有效的治疗方法。最近的研究报告称,使用阿米替林和氯胺酮的组合以局部制剂形式治疗疼痛可显著改善。我们描述了一名 EM 男性患者的 1 年随访疼痛控制成功案例,提出使用 2%阿米替林和 0.5%氯胺酮凝胶进行局部治疗。
