Presse Med. 2024 Apr 17:104232. doi: 10.1016/j.lpm.2024.104232. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeuropathic pain continues to be a significant problem that lacks effective solutions for every single patient. In 2015, international guidelines (NeuPSIG) were published, while the French recommendations were updated in 2020. The purpose of this minireview is to provide an update on the process of developing evidence-based recommendations and explore potential changes to the current recommendations. Primary treatments for neuropathic pain include selective serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) such as duloxetine an...

The deep and the deeper: spinal cord and deep brain stimulation for neuropathic pain
Presse Med. 2024 Apr 16:104231. doi: 10.1016/j.lpm.2024.104231. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeuropathic pain occurs in people experiencing lesion or disease affecting the somatosensorial system. It is present in 7% of the general population and may not fully respond to first- and second-line treatments in up to 40% of cases. Neuromodulation approaches are often proposed for those not tolerating or not responding to usual pharmacological management. These approaches can be delivered surgically (invasively) or non-invasively. Invasive neuromodulation techniques were the first to be employed in neuropathic pain. Among them ...

An overview of diagnosis and assessment methods for neuropathic pain
Presse Med. 2024 Apr 16:104234. doi: 10.1016/j.lpm.2024.104234. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeuropathic pain, defined as pain arising as a consequence of a lesion or disease affecting the somatosensory nervous system, requires precise diagnostic assessment. Different diagnostic tools have been devised for the diagnosis of neuropathic pain. This review offers insights into the diagnostic accuracy of screening questionnaires and different tests that investigate the somatosensory nervous system, in patients with suspected neuropathic pain. Thus, it illustrates how these tools can aid clinicians in accurately diagnosing neur...

Pharmacotherapy and noninvasive neurostimulation for neuropathic pain
Presse Med. 2024 Apr 16:104233. doi: 10.1016/j.lpm.2024.104233. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeuropathic pain poses a significant challenge due to its complex mechanisms, necessitating specific treatments. In recent decades, significant progress has been made in the clinical research of neuropathic pain, marking a shift from empirical strategies to evidence-based medicine in its management. This review outlines both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Antidepressants (tricyclic and serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors), antiepileptics (gabapentin, pregabalin), and topical agents constitute the ma...
