Guidelines for the clinical management of neuropathic pain (I). Protocol

Abstract:

Aims. The aim of this study is to develop a set of guidelines for the clinical management of neuropathic pain (NP), a disorder suffered by up to 5% of the population, specifically for use by the Spanish-speaking community, in order to improve the quality of medical care and to standardise the treatments offered in medical centres. Development The paper describes the methodology used to search for guidelines concerning the clinical management of NP in databases, written communications and other resources, and the results of this search are presented. The research group is split into three groups: anatomical- physiological, diagnosis and therapeutic approach, each of which defines the nature of the papers that used to design the protocol. © 2005, Revista de Neurología.
