nefopam and Ache

nefopam has been researched along with Ache in 30 studies

Nefopam: Non-narcotic analgesic chemically similar to ORPHENADRINE. Its mechanism of action is unclear. It is used for the relief of acute and chronic pain. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p26)
nefopam : A racemate comprising equal amounts of (R)- and (S)-nefopam. The hydrochloride is a centrally acting non-opiate analgesic commonly used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain.
5-methyl-1-phenyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1H-2,5-benzoxazocine : A member of the class of benzoxazocines that is 3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1H-2,5-benzoxazocine substituted by phenyl and methyl groups at positions 1 and 5 respectively.

( Kim, H; Kim, YM; Kong, MH; Lee, IO; Lee, MK; Lim, BG, 2014)

( Chateauraynaud, J; Laboureyras, E; Richebé, P; Simonnet, G, 2009)

"Based on 3 small trials, which were all at high risk of bias, there is weak evidence that nefopam and capsaicin are superior to placebo in reducing pain in patients with RA, but both are associated with a significant side effect profile."4.88Efficacy and safety of neuromodulators in inflammatory arthritis: a Cochrane systematic review. ( Buchbinder, R; Richards, BL; van der Heijde, DM; Whittle, SL, 2012)

( Chateauraynaud, J; Laboureyras, E; Richebé, P; Simonnet, G, 2009)
" Based on a clinical observation of synergism between nefopam, a centrally acting non-opioid that inhibits monoamines reuptake, and ketoprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, the objective of this study was to further explore this antinociceptive synergy in four distinct animal models of pain (both drugs were administered subcutaneously)."3.74Nefopam and ketoprofen synergy in rodent models of antinociception. ( Coppé, MC; Gillardin, JM; Girard, P; Pansart, Y; Verniers, D, 2008)

"Pain is an unpleasant sensation that originates from ongoing or impending tissue damage."2.44Recent advances in the pharmacological management of pain. ( Beaulieu, P; Guindon, J; Walczak, JS, 2007)
"In a rat incision model of postoperative thermal hyperalgesia, coadministration of nefopam at a non-analgesic dose (3 mg/kg) with paracetamol at a low analgesic dose (300 mg/kg) showed the appearance of a strong antihyperalgesic effect, maintained for at least 3 h."1.37Systematic evaluation of the nefopam-paracetamol combination in rodent models of antinociception. ( Coppé, MC; Girard, P; Niedergang, B; Pansart, Y; Verleye, M, 2011)
