A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial was conducted to study the analgesic efficacy of the NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor antagonist memantine (1-amino-3,5-dimethyladamantane hydrochloride) in relieving postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). Memantine (or an identical-looking placebon=12/group) was administered at a dose of 10 mg/day for one week, and 20 mg/day for an additional 4 weeks. All patients were required to record their pain level twice daily during the entire study period, with the use of a 0-10 numerical pain scale (NPS).
