Brief Summary: Currently it is established that the voltage-gated calcium channels modulate pain perception due to an influence on the neuronal transmission and excitability In the past attention has focused on the modulation of high voltage activated calcium channel More recently scientific interest has proven to the low voltage activated calcium channel also called T-type channels The data from the literature show significant involvement of these channels in the physiology of nociception and pathophysiology of acute and chronic pain Moreover in several animal pain models acute neuropathic inflammatory T-type channels inhibition alleviates painful behaviours

Analgesics treatments available in clinic are ineffective in some patients with chronic pain neuropathic inflammatory and often induce deleterious side effects Thus the clinical use of selective inhibitors of T-type channels could not only help the development of new therapies for the treatment of neuropathic pain prevalence 5-8 but also have a pharmaco-economic impact due to the low selling price of their inhibitor currently available Zarontin

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of ethosuximide Zarontin on the pain symptoms and quality of life in patients with peripheral neuropathic pain compared to a control group
Detailed Description: This is a multicentre parallel-group double-blind randomised clinical trial comparing ethosuximide and inactive control for the treatment of peripheral neuropathic pain assessed by numerical rating scale and quality of life questionnaire
