But recently, methotrexate, an older drug historically used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and some cancers, has caught the attention of some researchers for providing moderate but meaningful pain relief.

Methotrexate is an old drug with some seemingly new tricks. For years it has been used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and certain cancers as it can slow the immune response and growth of certain cells.
