No I think it is different. This one you get an iv in your arm of lidocaine for 2-4 hours in the hospital and they see how your pain responds. If you feel relief then you may do more or try the oral.I have PN too and am not sure if this is more for PN or RSD or what as I have not heard that many doing this on either.
