A combination of analgesic agents with different mechanisms can induce additive or synergistic analgesia. The N‐type voltage‐dependent calcium channel (N‐VDCC) is a novel therapeutic target for pain control. In addition to providing effective pain relief when used alone, N‐VDCC blockers produce synergistic analgesia when used in combination with opiates. However, the interaction between N‐VDCC blockers and nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) remains unclear.
