Neuropathic pain is defined by “pain is initiated or caused by primary lesion or dysfunction in the nervous system” and several etiologic conditions can induce the neuropathic pains. Various groups of drugs are used to treat the neuropathic pains. Not depending on anecdotal case or habitual choice, to obtain the more effective pharmacotherapy, relative-comparison index is suggested through multiple analyses of clinical trials. Depending on relative-comparison index, first-line medications and second-line medications for neuropathic pain are recommended. To support the Quality of life in patients, selection of medication is made on such recommendations.
