ABSTRACT
Neuropathic pain poses a challenge, since there is no consensus on what constitutes optimal management, and current strategies for diagnosing and treating this heterogeneous condition are largely empirical. In the daily routine a neurological examination that includes a sensory examination with some simple bedside-tests often suffices to establish a tentative diagnosis. The author proposes a basic algorithm that may help clinicians to optimize available therapeutic options and improve pain relief and quality of life in patients with this type of pain. Such first-line drugs as antidepressants, anticonvulsants and sustained-release opioids form the basis for a treatment strategy that is appropriate for the individual patient.
