  • Method for treatment of pain
    Patent number: 5721207
    Abstract: An improved method for the treatment of intractable pain is provided by the present invention. The improved method is the intrathecal administration of a therapeutic composition comprising elcatonin and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Intrathecally administered elcatonin produces more potent and prolonged analgesia than elcatonin/calcitonins administered by other routes (e.g., intravenous, intramuscular injection) and/or opiates administered by different routes (including epidural or intrathecal administration).
