lass="h4">Objective

To evaluate the effectiveness of NT in reducing pain and minimising use of analgesics in patients.

lass="h4">Design

Before and after intervention study.

lass="h4">Setting

Llefi脿 Primary Health Care centre in Badalona (Barcelona).

lass="h4">Participants

Eighty-two patients between the ages of 25 and 85 years old, who suffered pain that did not disappear after a month.

lass="h4">Main measurements

Data was collected to evaluate any change in pain and the use of analgesics in patients before intervention and then afterwards, at 2 weeks, 3 months and 6 months. This was conducted by means of interviews and use of the Visual Analogue Pain Scale (VAS).

lass="h4">Results

Mean VAS pre-treatment: 7.94 (SD: 1.68), mean VAS after two weeks 4.63 (SD: 2.79), after 3 months 3.73 (SD: 3.17), and after 6 months 3.48 (SD: 3,27) (P < .001 in the 3 comparisons, using the Wilcoxon-test for matched data). As regards analgesic use after treatment, 74.4%of patients reduced it after 2 weeks, 76.8%after 3 months and 80%after 6 months.

lass="h4">Conclusions

Neural therapy can be effective in reducing pain, as well as the use of analgesics. Further clinical trials would be needed to confirm this assertion.
