How it works
Stimulates opioid, serotonin, and noradrenaline release in descending pain inhibitory pathways. May modulate central pain sensitisation contributing to chronic neuralgia.
Evidence varies by neuralgia type. Best evidence for trigeminal neuralgia and postherpetic neuralgia as adjuncts to pharmacological treatment. Choose AHPRA-registered practitioner.
