Abstract:
Antidepressive drugs influencing the serotonin metabolism have shown some efficacy in treatment of generalised pain syndrome. The aim of the present study was to observe the analgesic effect of citalopram < 1-[3-(dimetilamino)propil]-1-(p-florofenil)-5-ftal+ ++ánkarbonitin > in 20 non depressive patients with chronic pain syndrome (fibromyalgy and/or radicular pain). On the base of a short time (6 weeks) observation a limited clinical effect was observed, however, the Seropram seems to have some benefits in the treatment of chronic pain.
