Diagnosis and Management of Neuropathic Pain: Review of Literature and Recommendations of the Polish Association for the Study of Pain and the Polish Neurological Society – Part Two
Journal Title: BÓL - Year 2014, Vol 15, Issue 3
Abstract
Neuropathic pain may be caused by a variety of damages or diseases of both the peripheral and central nervous system. The most common and best known syndromes of peripheral neuropathic pain are painful diabetic neuropathy, trigeminal neuralgia and postherpetic neuralgia, persistent post-operative and post-traumatic pain, complex regional pain syndrome, cancer-related neuropathic pain, HIV-related neuropathic pain and pain after amputation. The much less common central pain is primarily central post-stroke pain, post-traumatic pain in spinal cord, central pain in Parkinson's disease, in other neurodegenerative diseases, in syringomyelia and multiple sclerosis.A multidisciplinary team of Polish experts, commissioned by the Polish Association for the Study of Pain and the Polish Neurological Society, has reviewed the literature on various types of neuropathic pain, with special focus on the so far published international recommendations, and has formulated recommendations on their diagnosis and treatment, in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine (EBM). The number of randomised studies on the efficacy of various medicines and medical procedures in many neuropathic pain syndromes is small, which makes the strength of published recommendations poor.
