Lidocaine is promising adjuvant drug for management of oncological pain, especially pain with neuropathic component. The objective of this investigation is to identify whether the inclusion of intravenous lidocaine in the traditional pain treatment scheme offers more effectivity in its relief, and thus to provide the physician with better tools to treat pain in oncological patients. This study is a retrospective cohort, done on a census sample of 77 patients who received treatment in Palliative care and pain relief Unit of Hospital Victor Lazarte Echegaray between January 2014 and july 2019, and fulfilled inclusion and exclusion criteria. Prior authorization by the university and the hospital, medical records were reviewed. To measure the degree of association between variables, risk ratio was used. The risk ratio (IC 95%) obtained was 1,026 (0,416 - 2,526), with a p value of 0.478, which concludes that there is no statistical difference between treatments. However, statistical difference in variation of VAS was found, which suggests an slight improvement in pain relief. We recommend to conduct multicentric studies, with bigger and more heterogenic samples. In addition, due to the heterogeneity of posologys found in literature, we also suggest conducting randomized clinical trials.
