Abstract

This review presents available clinical studies and new insights into mechanisms of analgesic effect and possible new routes of administration of antidepressant drugs. Older TCAs continue to be superior treatments. We focused on recent findings on newer antidepressants as analgesics. Their use should be supported by further controlled trials.

Keywords: neuropathic pain, antidepressant, new antidepressant drugs, antinociception, mechanism of action, clinical trials
