Lidocaine patches are another alternative pain remedy for arthritis joint pain. Lidocaine is a medication that blocks transmission of nerve messages. It acts as an anesthetic, an agent that reduces sensation or numbs. In findings presented at the American Pain Society’s annual meeting, researchers reported that 143 patients with knee osteoarthritis pain either used the Lidoderm patch, which contains lidocaine, once daily for 12 weeks or took Celebrex, an NSAID, by mouth. At 12 weeks, 71% of both groups reported at least a 30% improvement in their knee pain, which is considered significant pain relief.
