Examples:

(oral or IV mentioned)

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19125705
(found improvements with both oral and IV)

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18598095
(this one doesn't say but I am assuming oral )

It has always been Europe doing the most work on various supplements for PN and pain in general.

One thing most commonly reported about ALA is that results are slow in coming. At least 60 days, in some of the studies.
