We are pleased to announce that the Allevio Pain Management Team is conducting a Prospective Observational Study for the assessment of an intervention to help patients with chronic neuropathic pain. Study participants will be receiving 5 intravenous infusions of lidocaine + ketamine within 2-month intervals between infusions. The intervention will be done at Allevio Pain Management, located at #101 - 240 Duncan Mills Road, Toronto, Ontario. All the infusions will be done under the direct supervision of Anaesthesiologist and Anesthesia Assistant.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of lidocaine and ketamine, administered Intravenously. The treatment is covered by OHIP (for residents of Ontario); however, this is an independent study and we do not have a sponsor.  Therefore, we cannot pay anything to the patients to cover the cost of their time.
