In several case series, phenytoin 5% and 10% cream could reduce pain in a clinically relevant way with a fast onset of action within 30 min, and with positive effects on sleep. One of phenytoins side effects, the gingival overgrowth, resulted in the focus on wound healing.32 Wounds (in rat models) treated with topical phenytoin, tissue edema, and inflammatory cell infiltration were significantly decreased; epidermal growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor, and transforming growth factor- were significantly increased.33,34, As phenytoin is an established anticonvulsant since 80 years, most mechanistic studies have been conducted in the 60s, 70s, and 80s of last century.20 Its mechanism of action is not yet completely understood, and most authors focus only on the inhibitory effects of phenytoin in voltage-activated sodium channels, leading to reduction of firing of depolarized neurons.21 It is thought that phenytoin blocks sodium channels poorly at slow firing rates allowing normal activity, but suppresses the high-frequency repetitive firing.21 Phenytoin (IC50=40 M) has six times stronger sodium channel binding activity than lidocaine (IC50=240 M).35 Voltage-dependent L-type calcium channels are also inhibited by phenytoin.36 Furthermore, phenytoin potentiates gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-induced current through modulation of the GABAA receptor in the nanomolar range.37. 2014;60(1):647. Pregabalin for acute and chronic pain in adults. The reduction of pain lasted 6 hours, after which he woke up and had to apply the cream again. Neuropathic pain can be debilitating and reduces quality of life considerably.1,2 Peripheral neuropathic pain has a local inflammatory component, which results in sensitization of peripheral nerve fibers.3 Damage and metabolic stress of the nerves result in increased production of pro-inflammatory mediators (e.g., cytokines and interleukins) in both peripheral and central neurons and nonneuronal cells, such as Schwann cells, mast cells, and glia cells.3 These pro-inflammatory mediators sensitize nerve fibers and nociceptors, leading to clinical symptoms of neuropathic pain, such as burning, tingling, pins and needles, painful cold, electric shock, itch, hyperalgesia, and allodynia. Neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia are difficult to treat effectively, with only a minority of individuals experiencing a clinically relevant benefit from any one intervention. Sindrup SH. Jay GW, Barkin RL. I can assure you that we are regularly in contact with patient groups and talk to clinicians who treat people with difficult chronic pain conditions (who can all tell us about one of their patients who responded to drug x when everything else had failed). Oral use of phenytoin for patients with facial neuralgia was first described in 1942 by Bergouignan. This does set high standards, and marks a departure from how reviews have been conducted previously. Phenytoin 5% cream, however, could reduce the tingling, pins and needles, and burning pain within 20 minutes, and the effect was scored as a reduction of pain from 8 to 3 on the NRS. 2015 May-Jun;22(3):214-21. doi: 10.1097/MJT.0000000000000253. We have long advocated that clinicians should have a wide range of treatment options, and should start with the best but be prepared to switch to the next best, then the next, if the patient doesn't respond well in a reasonable time (Moore et al. In May 2016, a 54-year-old female received chemotherapy treatment (bortezomib) because of immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis. The mechanism of action.

Sawynok J. Topical analgesics for neuropathic pain: preclinical exploration, clinical validation, future development. Ligand-based design and synthesis of novel sodium channel blockers from a combined phenytoin-lidocaine pharmacophore. We, therefore, developed a new topical cream based on 5% and 10% phenytoin and described three successfully treated patients suffering from neuropathic pain. In October 2016, she received phenytoin 10% cream to test whether a higher concentration of phenytoin resulted in a more profound effect. Bergouignan M. Cures heureuses de nevralgies faciales essentielles par le diphenylhydantoinate de soude. Lidocaine inhibits voltage-gated sodium channels, and thus stabilizes the neuronal membrane potential of abnormally excitable peripheral nerve fibers. Oral use of phenytoin for patients with facial neuralgia was first described in 1942 by Bergouignan.25 Low-quality small randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (n=40 and n=12) of oral phenytoin for diabetic neuropathic pain had mixed results.26,27 An interesting double-blind crossover RCT with intravenous infusion of 15 mg/kg phenytoin over a 2-hour period showed significant reduction in neuropathic pain.28 This reduction in overall pain persisted for 1 day after infusion, whereas 4 days after infusion, shooting pain was still reduced. The use of topical phenytoin is known for the reduction of pain due to superficial burns and chronic leg ulcers.29 Topical phenytoin is also known to accelerate wound healing.30,31 However, the analgesic effect of topical phenytoin in neuropathic pain has never been reported, and thus seems to be totally overlooked. Therefore, we selected one of the most senior of all antiepileptics, phenytoin, which targets, among others, the voltage-gated sodium channels as the active pharmaceutical ingredient for a new compounded topical cream.21 Topical phenytoin had an impressive analgesic effect as described in the following cases.
