The Importance of Evidence for Pain Medicine

The best evidence for these treatments would be in a subset of chronic pain patients who've got neuropathic pain. Even in those populations, you'd need to treat between four and seven people for one person to report notably improved pain. And that won't necessarily last for life because the body develops tolerance to it. Do things like homeopathy or reflexology or even acupuncture? Is there an evidence base for those kind of interventions?
