Diabetic neuropathy
Conclusions In light of the current state of knowledge, recommended first line medication in the treatment of pain associated with DN includes: tricyclic antidepressant, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor or antiepileptic drug. If monotherapy proves ineffective, adding a second drug may be considered, then adjuvant opioid and alternatively non-pharmacological treatment. In case of lack of response to treatment, stimulation of the spinal cord can be the final intervention.
