CORREA-ILLANES, G e CORREA-TORRES, G. Treatment of painful scars with 5 % lidocaine patch: clinical cases report. Rev. Soc. Esp. Dolor [online]. 2022, vol.29, n.3, pp.187-191. Epub 20-Mar-2023. ISSN 1134-8046. https://dx.doi.org/10.20986/resed.2022.3997/2022.
Scars can be associated with intense pain, limit patient functionality, and affect the quality of life of patients. In addition, painful scars can be associated to dysesthesias, hyperalgesia, and allodynia. The 5% lidocaine patch has shown efficacy as a topical treatment for pain relief in traumatic or post-surgical scars. In this paper, three cases of patients with painful scars who were successfully treated with 5% lidocaine patches, a therapeutic tool frequently indicated for the relief of neuropathic pain, are described.
