Why is it important?

Because many analgesics have dose-dependent side effects limiting its use in CIAP patients, and PEA has not!

Perspectives

Palmitoylethanolamide should become a first step analgesic in chronic pain and should be used more often as it also has opioid sparing effects in chronic pain!
