Abstract
PEREZ-GUIROLA, Yaquelín; LOMBAS-ROJAS, Adrián and CORDERO-ESCOBAR, Idoris. Neuropathic pain in insulin-dependent diabetic patients. Rev. mex. anestesiol. [online]. 2021, vol.44, n.1, pp.51-54. Epub Oct 11, 2021. ISSN 0484-7903. https://doi.org/10.35366/97777.
Introduction:
Neuropathic pain is complex and despite the pharmacological and non-pharmacological advances of recent years, it is the main cause of suffering in insulin-dependent diabetic patients.
Objective:
To update a non-systematic review of the literature on neuropathic pain in the insulin-dependent diabetic patient.
Material and methods:
A literature search was conducted on August 3 of 2019 in the PubMed databases of the National Medical Library of the United States (NLM), with the following English-language descriptors: insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus AND neuropathic pain, which offered a total of 133 publications. When the filter was activated in humans, 11 articles were maintained. With the filter in the last five years, full text remained one whose title is not related to the proposed project.
Conclusions:
The general insulin-dependent diabetic patient presents with neuropathic pain of varying intensity, which affects their quality of life and requires specialized treatment.
Keywords : Diabetic neuropathies; diabetes mellitus; neuropathic pain.
