El dolor crónico intenso es un problema de salud de primer orden, ya que presenta un prevalenciaelevada (5-10%), una etiología multifactorial y un abordaje en muchas ocasiones realmente complejo. El tratamiento en los casos graves precisa, en ocasiones, abordajes intervencionistas, como los opioides vía intratecal en infusión continua. Casoclínico. Mujer de 38 años de edad, con dolor neuropático intenso en la zona lumbar y los miembros inferiores secundario a tres intervenciones en el segmento lumbar L5-S1. Tras diversos esquemas farmacológicos orales y mediante sistemas implantados(estimulador de cordones posteriores y bomba de infusión subaracnoidea con diferentes combinaciones farmacológicas) sin obtener mejoría clínica, se incluyó en el protocolo de infusión intratecal con ziconotide. Conclusiones. El ziconotide es el primer bloqueador neuronal específico que actúa sobre el canal de calcio, bloqueando los canales tipo N del calcio dependientesde voltaje. Es un nuevo analgésico no opioide con indicación aprobada en el tratamiento del dolor crónico intenso, en aquellos pacientes que requieren de analgesia intratecal, refractario a otros tratamientos analgésicos. Por lo tanto, deberemosconsiderar este fármaco como una alternativa de terapia en aquellos pacientes que con la farmacopea y los mediosdisponibles actualmente no encuentran alivio suficiente
Intense chronic pain is a very important health problem, as it has a high prevalence (5-10%), amultifactorial aetiology and its management is very often a very complex affair. Treatment of severe cases sometimes requires interventional approaches, such as continuous intrathecal infusion of opioids. Case report.We report the case of a 38-year-oldfemale with intense neuropathic pain in the lower back and the lower limbs secondary to three operations on the L5-S1 lumbar segment. After implementing several different pharmacological regimes involving both oral and implanted systems (spinal cord stimulation and subarachnoid infusion pump with different pharmacological combinations) with no clinicalimprovement, intrathecal infusion with ziconotide was included in the protocol. Conclusions. Ziconotide is the first specific neuronal blocker that acts on the calcium channel by blocking the N-type voltage-dependent calcium channels. It is a new nonopioidanalgesic with approved indication in the treatment of intense chronic pain, in patients who require intrathecalanalgesics and are refractory to other analgesic treatments. Therefore, we shall have to consider this drug as a therapeutic alternative in patients do not experience sufficient relief with the pharmacological agents and means currently available to treat them
