Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyLong-term safety and tolerability of oxcarbazepine in painful diabetic neuropathy.
Painful diabetic neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes and often resistant to treatment with standard analgesics. Treatment of diabetic neuropathy with antiepileptic drugs may provide pain relief. ⋯ Long-term treatment with oxcarbazepine is generally well tolerated in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy. Rapid titration of oxcarbazepine may be responsible for discontinuations resulting from AEs during early stages of treatment.
