There are some medications that can quiet nerve-related pain. These may include tramadol (Ultram), some anti-seizure medications (gabapentin, pregabalin, oxcarbazepine, topiramate…) and some antidepressant medication (duloxetine, venlafaxine). You should check with a Pain Medicine specialist as to appropriate treatments that may apply to you.
