RESUMO
A Dor Neuropática é definida como dor causada por lesão ou disfunção do sistema nervoso, como resultado da ativação anormal da via nociceptiva (fibras de pequeno calibre e trato espinotalâmico). As principais causas desta síndrome são diabetes melito, neuralgia pós-herpética, neuralgia trigeminal, dor regional complexa, acidente vascular encefálico, esclerose múltipla, lesão medular, entre outros. Nos últimos anos, a Dor Neuropática vem recebendo especial atenção por dois motivos principais 1) refratariedade terapêutica de várias síndromes dolorosas com componentes neuropáticos predominantes e 2) desenvolvimento de ferramentas diagnósticas para o reconhecimento deste tipo de dor. O presente artigo de revisão fornece informações relevantes para o entendimento e reconhecimento da Dor Neuropática, bem como quanto à abordagem terapêutica baseada em evidências.
ABSTRACT
Neuropathic Pain is defined as pain caused by lesion or dysfunction of the nervous system, as a result of abnormal activation of the nociceptive pathway (small fibers and spinothalamic tracts). The most common causes of this syndrome are the following diabetes, post-herpetic neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, complex regional pain syndrome, stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, among others. In the last few years, the Neuropathic Pain, has been receiving special attention for two main reasons 1) therapeutical refractoriness of a variety of pain syndromes with predominant neuropathic characteristics and 2) the development of diagnostic tools for Neuropathic Pain complaints. The present paper provides relevant information on the understanding and recognition of Neuropathic Pain, as well as therapeutic evidence-based-medicine approaches.
