Efficacy and safety of capsaicin 8% patches: The experience of a rheumatology department
Capsaicin 8% appeared to be an effective treatment in localized neuropathic pain, whatever the cause. It seemed beneficial to repeat the application after the 1st one had failed. Burning sensations after placement were fairly frequent, usually moderate to high, but lasting only a short time.
