Default Vitamin D

This site has some good information on Vitamin D for both patients and doctors.

Pain Treatment Topics

The Patient Brochure and Practitioner Briefing at first appear to be written for musculoskeletal pain, but both also report an improvement in neuropathic pain. The Practitioner Briefing mentions this study:

Quote:
...a recently reported trial of 2000 IU/day in patients with neuropathic pain produced a 67% increase in 25(OH)D levels and a 50% improvement in pain scores during 3 months of treatment.
The Full Report states the the pain levels (from trial) improved from 'distressing' to 'mild'.
