Abstract
A successful method of treating intractable neoplastic pain in 12 cases is discussed. A completely new method was tried combining long-acting phenothiazine and lidocaine to achieve long-lasting pain relief. This combination gave pain relief which lasted for weeks. A possible explanation of the mechanism is offered.
