Changes/additions to materials (reviewed 23rd June 2010):

Since these materials were published NICE has published a new clinical guideline on the pharmacological management of neuropathic pain in adults in non-specialist settings (CG96). This updates and replaces recommendations on the drug treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy in previous NICE clinical guidelines on type 1 (CG15) and type 2 diabetes (CG87). More information is available in a blog.

Part 5 of the e-learning event on this floor of NPCi specifically discusses the evidence-base for the pharmacological treatment of neuropathic pain. A brand new NPCi floor on neuropathic pain is currently under development to take into account this new NICE guidance and will be available later in 2010.

 

Date of last update: April 2010

 

Case Study 1 - Heather, a 42-year old accountant with neck pain after a car accident.

Case Study 2 - Christine, 58 with pain associated with advanced breast cancer.
