A high percentage of chronic neuropathic pain sufferers have a similar clinical pattern: they suffer from long-standing sensory and/or motor disturbances that are usually associated with vasomotor-type phenomena. In this case, the following signs are included:
- Spontaneous pains, either continuous or paroxysmal.
- Pain induced by weak, non-painful stimulation.
- Pains induced by mechanical or thermal stimulation
- Temperature changes in affected parts of the body
- Areas of hyposthesia that may involve different sensitivities
- Muscle weakness that may include atrophy
Although the clinical pattern is fairly uniform, the belief that these patients share a single philanthropic basis sometimes leads to misguided treatments.
In fact, many of the patients who come to Biotronic have received various diagnoses and treatments that ultimately prove to be ineffective.
How is neuropathic pain treated?
The correct treatment begins with a correct diagnosis of the patient, taking into account that they present different pains, not a single type of pain, but “pains” in which various pathophysiological bases coexist. Thus, it is incorrect to propose a treatment for neuropathic pain that acts only on one mechanism of pain transmission.
At Biotronic Salud, each patient is evaluated individually. First of all, a detailed clinical history is taken in which, in addition to questioning the patient about the neurological symptoms related to the sensory and motor system, the patient is also asked about the neurological symptoms that are related to the sensory and motor system. In this case, attention is paid to the changes that occur in the temperature of the symptomatic regions and modifications with respect to pain symptoms.
Subsequently, a general clinical examination is performed, in which trophic and vasomotor changes of the skin are observed, and the cranial nerves, the coordination system, sensitivity, reflexes, etc. are also examined.
Thanks to this exhaustive evaluation, it is possible to establish treatments for neuropathic pain that act selectively on the areas involved in the painful processes. Thus, the Physicalm System Neuropathic Pain program is a very effective tool, as it brings together different analgesic actions that are adapted to the different pathophysiological bases that coexist in these painful conditions.
