Effectiveness, Tolerability, and Impact on Quality of Life of the 5% Lidocaine Patch in Diabetic Polyneuropathy
Arch Neurol 61:914-918, Barbano,R.L.,et al, 2004
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Up to four 5% lidocaine patches for up to 18 h/d are well tolerated in patients with painful diabetic polyneuropathy, significantly improve pain and quality-of-life ratings, and may allow tapering of concomitant analgesic therapy. Given the open-label design of this trial, a randomized controlled trail is necessary to confirm these results.
