Because these medications were designed to treat conditions other than pain, their use in neuropathic pain treatment is termed off-label use. But donât let that worry you: many adjuvant analgesics have proven more effective at treating chronic nerve pain symptoms than traditional painkillers. Anticonvulsants used for nerve pain treatment: 1  Gabapentin (Neurontin) 2  Pregabalin (Lyrica) 3  Carbamazepine (Tegretol) 4  Oxcarbazepine (Trileptal) 5  Phenytoin (Dilantin) 6  Valproate (Depacon) 7  Lamotrigine (Lamictal)
What is a Nerve Block? A Nerve Block is a procedure performed by a pain management physician to anesthetize or numb a particular nerve in the body to treat certain forms of chronic pain. A Nerve Block involves the injection of a local anesthetic like Lidocaine or Bupivicaine onto a target nerve or group of nerves. An example of a therapeutic nerve block used to treat chronic pain is the Stellate Ganglion Block, performed in the front of the neck to treat Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS or RSD).
