A safe and relatively simple method is presented for the preparation of topically applied compositions used for the treatment of pain, especially sympathetically mediated pain, regardless of cause, in persons of either sex. The method utilized the periodic application of topical compositions containing three classes of therapeutically effective agents prepared in suitable bases, to the skin areas affected by the pain. The three classes of therapeutic active agents are NMDA receptor antagonists, anticholinergic agents and sympathetic blocking agents. Each can be used alone or in combinations. The method provides significant pain relief which begins within minutes and lasts greater than 2 hours. The prepared compositions are non-toxic and have minimal side effects. No habit forming or addicting medications are used as therapeutically active ingredients. The prepared compositions can be self administered or can be administered by another person at home or in any locale.
