We utilized L5Ps for chronic pain patients with various diagnoses and who had incompletely responded to their current treatment regimen. This study aimed at describing the results of a retrospective review of an open-label L5P trial to assess L5Ps effectiveness and safety for treating various chronic pain patients. Methods: The chronic pain patients with pain lasting longer than 6-month duration were offered a 2-week L5P treatment trial. The patients were maintained on their other analgesic regimens. The treatment effect was measured according to the change from the baseline visual analog scale (VAS) to the week 2 VAS. After a 2-week trial, the patients were asked if they perceived pain improvement with L5Ps by using a four-item Pain Relief Scale (1 = a lot of relief, 2 = slight relief, 3 = no change, 4 = worse pain). Results: In the combined patient population (n = 177), 2-week treatment with the L5Ps significantly improved the week 2 VAS (P = 0.000). Significant improvement in the VAS was reported by the chronic pain patients with postherpetic neuralgia, intercostal neuralgia, degenerative osteoarthritis at knee joint, and other maladies. A higher proportion of the chronic pain patients reported improving their pain by the L5Ps. Seven patients experienced mild or moderate patch-related adverse events. Conclusions: The L5P provided clinically meaningful pain relief in some refractory chronic pain patients without any severe adverse events.

CRPS: complex regional pain syndrome, OA: osteoarthritis. 고찰이번연구에서 2주동안리도덤을부착한 177명의환자들을대상으로리도덤부착전후의 VAS를비교한결과리도덤부착전 VAS보다부착후 VAS가유의하게감소함을확인할수있었다. 리도덤에의한통증완화효과를질병군별로살펴보면대상포진후신경통, 퇴행성슬관절염, 늑간신경통환자의과반수에서리도덤부착이통증완화에도움이된다고하였고하부요통과복합부위통증증후군제1형환자의경우 40% 이상에서효과가있다고하였으며늑골골절, 근근막통증증후군, 당뇨병성말초신경병증, 족저근막염환자에게서도리도덤부착이통증완화에도움이된다고답하였다. 건강한자원자를대상으로한 5% 리도카인패치의약동학과안전성에관한연구에서패치에함유된리도카인의생체이용률은약 3% 로패치 1 장을부착한경우최대혈중농도는 128 ng/ml였고이는리도카인이부정맥발생을억제하는 1,000 1,500 ng/ml의혈중농도에크게못미치는것이다 [3]. 역시건강한자원자를대상으로한번에 4장의리도카인패치를 3일연속으로 12시간마다교체하며부착한경우, 그리고 24시간마다교체하며부착한경우혈중리도카인농도가각각 154와 186 ng/ml로일정하게유지되었다고하였고 [15] 이는패치 1 장을부착한경우나타날수있는 130 ng/ml와유사한수준이었다. 또한, 이들중일부에게패치부착부위에 치료를요하지않는경미한피부반응이나타났으나대부분은부작용을가져오지않았고 24시간동안지속적으로부착하였음에도 pinprick, light touch와같은피부감각이유지되었다고보고하였다. 이번연구에서도부착부위의자극증상으로 2명의환자가리도덤부착을도중에중단하였으나대다수의환자에게심한약제관련부작용이나다른전신작용약물과의부작용은나타나지않았다. 따라서이번연구를통해 5% 리도카인패치에통증완화효과를보인질병군의환자들이기존 1 차사용약제에일부의통증완화만을나타내는경우리도카인패치를함께처방하는것은만성통증으로고통받는환자들에게상당히안전하고효과적인통증완화를제공할가능성을넓히고삶의질을높이는방법이라생각된다. Dever와 Galer는 [16] 5% 리도카인패치를다양한만성신경병성통증에적용하려고시도하였다. 그들은 6명의복합부위통증증후군환자를포함한 16명의다양한신경병성통증환자들에게 5% 리도카인패치를 1회적용후통증에대한반응을 6개의항목으로구성된통증완화평가로표시하게하였다. 그결과복합부위통증증후군환자 (6명) 와대퇴신경지각이상증환자 (2명), 늑간신경통환자 (1명) 모두에서중등도이상의통증호전을나타냈고수술후절개부위통증및그부위에생긴신경종에패치를부착한환자 (5명) 모두에서도경도이상의통증호전을확인할수있었다. 이번연구에서늑간신경통환자는리도덤처방전후의 VAS가유의하게감소하였지

6 문지연외 7 인 : The Effectiveness of 5% Lidocaine Patches 221 만 (P = 0.001) 복합부위통증증후군환자는 Dever의연구결과와달리유의한감소를하지않았는데 (P = 0.125) 그이유중의하나로 Fishbain 등은 [17] 보상및소송과같은변수를제시하였다. 이번연구에포함된 15명의복합부위통증증후군환자중 10명이보상및소송에직간접적으로연관되어있었지만, 통증개선기여도응답결과와유의한상관관계를나타내지는않았다 (r = 0.548, P = 0.065). 또한, Fishbain 등은 114명의만성통증환자들을대상으로 5% 리도카인패치를처방한결과 87명 (76.3%) 에서효과가있다고하였고 27명 (23.7%) 에서효과가없다고하였는데효과가없다고예상할수있는여러요인가운데통증위치중하요부, 척추주변근육에통증이있는경우, 척추관협착증으로진단받거나신경병성통증이아닌경우등을들었고통계적으로유의하게통증개선효과를나타내는예측할수있는 3가지요인으로첫째, 통증이수면장애를유발하는경우, 둘째, 하요부가아닌부위의통증, 특히무릎이나수술후상처부위인경우, 셋째, 소송과연관되어있지않은경우를들었다. 이전증례나 pilot 연구에서하부요통에 5% 리도카인패치가효과적이라는보고가종종있었고 [9,18] Galer 등은 71명의급성, 아급성, 만성요통환자들을대상으로 5% 리도카인을부착하도록한뒤 2주, 6주후측정한 NPS (Neuropathic Pain Scale) 에서유의한 (P = 0.001) 통증완화효과를나타내었다고하였다 [19]. 그러나이번연구결과에서하부요통환자의리도덤에의한통증완화효과는유의하지않았고 (P = 1.00) 하부요통환자에게실시한리도덤의통증완화평가역시과반수의환자에서 3: 통증이완화되지않지만, 통증을악화시키지는않는다고답하여 David 등의연구에가까운결과를나타내었다. 그이유로이번연구에서는 NPS가아니라단순히 VAS로치료효과를평가했기때문에평가기준이달랐다는것, 요통의매우복잡한병태생리등을들수있겠지만, 하부요통환자에서 5% 리도카인의통증개선효과는아직논쟁의여지가많이있으며더대단위의체계적인무작위위약대조시험이필요할것으로생각한다. 한편, 퇴행성슬관절염환자에서리도덤의통증개선효과가뛰어나다는이번연구결과는 5% 리도카인패치부착시통증개선효과를예측할수있는부위로서슬관절을꼽은 [17] Fishbain의연구결과와일치하였으며퇴행성슬관절염발병의병태생리적원인으로일반적으로알려진만성염증반응외에도소디움통로의과발현및상향조절이연관될수있음을 [20] 강력히시사하고있다. 그리고 Galer 등은 [21] 5% 리도카인패치의슬관 절부착으로퇴행성슬관절염의통증개선뿐만아니라육체적활동개선, 관절강직개선등의효과도함께있다고하였고, 최근발표된논문에의하면퇴행성슬관절염환자에서 5% 리도카인패치가 celecoxib와비교하여현저하게낮은부작용발생률을나타내지만진통효과는동일하다고하여 [12] 퇴행성슬관절염환자의치료제로서큰가능성을나타내었다. 대상포진후신경통환자들을대상으로한이전연구를살펴보면 White 등은 [22] gabapentin에만족할만한통증완화를얻지못한대상포진후신경통, 당뇨병성말초신경통, 하부요통환자들을대상으로기존약제를지속투약하면서 2주간 5% 리도카인패치를통증부위에부착하도록하였다. 그결과큰부작용없이환자들의통증강도가매우감소하고삶의질이향상하였다고발표하였다. 특히만성통증환자에서여러약물을조합하여사용해야하는경우국소적으로효과를나타내고전신흡수가적은 5% 리도카인패치야말로약물의전신부작용및약제간상호부작용을일으키지않는이상적인치료제라고주장하였다. 이후 Baron 등은 [23] 75명의대상포진후신경통환자와 71명의당뇨병성말초신경통환자를두그룹으로나누어한그룹에는 pregabalin을, 다른그룹에는 5% 리도카인패치를 4주동안적용한결과두그룹에서모두통계적으로의미있는통증경감을얻었다고하였다. 특히약제와연관된부작용은 5% 리도카인패치를부착한경우 3.9%, pregabalin 투여환자에서 39.2% 였으며이로인해연구에서도중탈락한환자수는패치부착그룹이 1.3%, pregabalin 투여그룹이 20.3% 였다. 이번연구에서도대상포진후신경통환자의리도덤적용전후의 VAS를비교한결과는 P 값이 0.000이었고 75% 의환자에서리도덤이통증완화에효과적이라고하여기존연구와유사한결과를얻을수있었다. 이와같은연구결과들을토대로발표된근거중심의치료지침에서국소부위의신경병성통증을치료하기위한첫번째선택약제로기존의 gabapentin, pregabalin과함께 5% 리도카인패치가추천되고있으며 [24,25] 특히고령화시대를맞아연령증가에따른발병률이급격하게증가하는대상포진후신경통환자에서중추신경계작용약물로인한어지럼증, 졸림, 보행장애와다른약제와의상호작용으로인한부작용을일으키지않는 5% 리도카인패치는매우이상적인치료제임이확실하다. 이번연구에서 5% 리도카인패치인리도덤을다양한만성통증환자에게 2주동안부착하여어느질병군에서통증완화효과를얻을수있는지에관하여조사해보았

7 222 JY Moon, et al / Korean J Pain Vol. 22, No. 3, 2009 다. 물론대상포진후신경통환자군을제외한다른질병군의환자수가 15명이하로소수라는것과무작위위약대조군실험이아니라는것, 리도덤의통증완화효과를단순히 VAS로평가하였다는점, 보다장기간투약관찰한결과를제시하지못한점등을이연구의한계로볼수있다. 그러나이번연구를통해리도덤으로부터이익을얻을수있는만성통증환자군을예측하고앞으로이들에게부작용발생률이낮은치료방법을함께제공하여빠른통증완화효과를얻도록할수있으리라기대된다. 이번연구에서긍정적인반응을나타낸질병군에대해보다체계적인대단위무작위대조군실험이뒤따라야하겠다. 참고문헌 1.
