Conditions Lidocaine Treats
Lidocaine is used as a common local antiarrhythmic and anesthetic drug. This medication is used as a dental anesthetic and local anesthesia for minor surgery. The topical form of this medication is used to relieve pain, burning and itching due to skin inflammations.
This medication works by altering the signal conduction of the neurons. This is achieved by blocking the fast voltage gated sodium (Na+) channels that is present in the cell membrane of the neuron. This is responsible for the signal propagation within the neurons. The action potentially gets blocked by the inhibition of the signals through the neurons. This causes the blocking of pain signals to the brain. This medication not only blocks the pain signal, but also aborts the pain signals from its place of origin. The medication should be carefully moderated to achieve a high degree of sensitivity to block certain neurons. High concentrations of this medication may cause it to affect the other modalities of signaling of the neuron. Lidocaine has been shown significant results to relieve postherpetic neuralgia in some of the patients. This medication can also temporarily relieve you from tinnitus. This condition may not be cured completely with Lidocaine. Two thirds of the effects from this condition can be reduced with this medication.
