Lidocaine is used clinically for tactile allodynia associated with diabetes-induced neuropathy. Although the analgesic effect of lidocaine through suppression of microglial activation has been implicated in the development of injury-induced neuropathic pain, its mechanism of action in diabetes-induced tactile allodynia has not yet been completely elucidated.
