AbstractMedication selection for neuropathic pain follows a path of evidence, with respect to appreciating the patient's entry into the pain care algorithm. As we decide how to approach neuropathic pain, the considerations for intrathecal therapy medication selection are bound by catheter location, region of pain, and patient selection, to name a few. Future research and the 2016 polyanalgesic consensus conference may further provide patient care through a mindful eye on the improvement of patient safety and a reduction of the societal needs of opioids.
