Summary

Neuropathic pain is one form of chronic pain lacking effective pharmacotherapy. Interest in the role of complementary and alternative medicine is growing and diet is at the forefront of the search for alternative treatments for pain. Soy protein is one of the most promising dietary ingredients tested for its pain-relieving properties. Results from animal studies show that soy-enriched diets reduce pain due to nerve injury. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of soy protein supplementation on facial pain.
