Experiences with

Qutenza

I have now had 19 qutenza treatments, for many years ti have had it at 80 odd days. It has meant that a it of pain kicks in but not to a 10. I have been fighting for months as I will not be giving it till 90 days. Imy pain gets so bad by his time. I struggle to do anything.

QUTENZA... PLEASE LET ME KNOW... THANKS!!!!

I am awaiting referal to get the qutenza patch be put on.

I'm seeing pain management and am waiting to go get qutenza patches which im not looking forward to but i will try anything.

Hi all as any body had qutenza patches because next week my pain specialist is going to try these patches on my arm and stump and my right ankle, i believe one of the ingredient is a synthetic form of capsaicin the compound that gives chilli peppers their heat sensation.

Hi In November I will be having Capsaicin 8% patch (Qutenza®) Treatment at RNOH. I will have two patches, one placed on my knee for 1 hour and the other on my foot for thirty minutes. I will be monitored throughout. This treatment is for crps in my left knee and foot.

Quote from NICE guidelines: Qutenza® patches cost £252 per 280 cm2 patch. Mean treatment areas in clinical studies suggest that two patches per patient would be required. In addition, administration costs will be substantial, incurring a tariff cost of £229.
