Palmitoylethanolamide (Normast) combined with pregabalin in neuropathic pain
Palmitoylethanolamin (Normast®) is a endogenous lipid with analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. In a study were 30 patients were entered, suffering from diabetic neuropathic pain and post-herpetic pain, palmitoylethanolamide was combined with pregabalin in the treatment of neuropathic pain.

The dose of palmitoylethanolamide was twice 600 mg; pregabalin was slowly titrated in a bid dose regime, starting with 150 mg/day, after 10 days to 225 mg/day, after 10 days to 300 mg/day and again after 10 days up to 400 mg/dag.

The therapy with pregabalin and palmitoylethanolamide significantly improved pain, functional disability and sleep in a pre versus post comparison. Important to note was: there were no tolerability issues, and the impression that tolerability of pregabalin improved by adding palmitoylethanolamide. [1]

These clinical results, although from an open study, adds to the already existing data supporting efficacy and safety of palmitoylethanolamide. [2] [3] [4] [5][6][7][8] [9][10][11][12][13][14]
