          Abstract

          RESUMEN Antecedentes y objetivo: La neuropatía diabética es una complicación de la diabetes tipo 2. Afecta el entorno individual, familiar y social. El objetivo es identificar el perfil epidemiológico del dolor secundario a neuropatía periférica moderada diabética. Materiales y métodos: Estudio transversal descriptivo del dolor utilizando como fuente de información el paciente con neuropatía periférica moderada secundaria a diabetes tipo 2. La severidad de la neuropatía periférica diabética fue establecida con la escala de Michigan. El tamaño de la muestra fue 145. El perfil epidemiológico del dolor evaluado con el cuestionario multidimensional de McGill, alfa de Cronbach de 0,88, evalúa la intensidad de dolor en tres categorías independientes (índice de valoración total -dimensión sensorial, afectiva y evolutiva-, intensidad total general e intensidad total actual) y al interior identifica las características específicas del dolor. El análisis estadístico incluyó promedios, desviación estándar, intervalo de confianza para promedios y porcentajes. Resultados: Índice de valoración total de dolor 9,74 ± 1,40 (IC 95 %; 9,51-9,97), dimensión sensorial 5,02 ± 0,84 (IC 95 %; 4,88-5,16), dimensión afectiva 3,75 ± 0,94 (IC 95 %; 3,59-3,90) y dimensión evolutiva 0,96 ± 0,18 (IC 95 %; 0,93-1,00). Las características de la valoración total de dolor identifican sacudida 35,2 %, ardiente/quemante 31,0 %, sofocante 40,0 %, agotador 33,1 %, deprimente 29,7 % y constante 35,2 %. Intensidad total general de dolor 7,70 ± 1,29 (IC 95 %; 7,49-7,91). Intensidad total actual 40,7 % "intenso". Conclusión: El perfil epidemiológico del dolor es de intensidad elevada, quemante, penetrante, tirante fijo o difuso, acompañado de picor generalmente constante, con repercusión emocional negativa, entre ellas sentimiento de ansiedad, secundario a dolor deprimente, agotador, sofocante y mortificante.

          ABSTRACT Background and objective: Diabetic neuropathy is a complication of type 2 diabetes, it´s present in 95 % of patients, affecting the individual, family and social environment. The objective is to identify the epidemiological profile of pain secondary to moderate diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Materials and methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study of pain using as a source of information the patient with moderate peripheral neuropathy secondary to type 2 diabetes. The severity of diabetic peripheral neuropathy was established with the Michigan scale. The sample size was 145 patients. The epidemiological profile of pain evaluated with the McGill multidimensional questionnaire, Cronbach's alpha 0.88; it is assesses the intensity of pain in three independent categories (total pain assessment index [sensory, affective and evolutionary dimension], overall total intensity and current total intensity) and within each of them identifies the specific characteristics of pain. Statistical analysis included means, standard deviation, confidence interval for means, and percentages. Results: Total pain assessment index 9.74 ± 1.40 (95 % CI; 9.51-9.97), sensory dimension 5.02 ± 0.84 (95 % CI; 4.88-5.16), affective dimension 3.75 ± 0.94 (95 % CI; 3.59-3.90), and evolutionary dimension 0.96 ± 0.18 (95 % CI; 0.93-1.00). Specific characteristics of the total pain assessment Index identify shaking 35.2 %, burning 31.0 %, suffocating 40.0 %, exhausting 33.1 %, depressing 29.7 % and constant 35.2 %. Total general intensity of pain 7.70 ± 1.29 (95 % CI;7.49-7.91). Current total intensity 40.7 % "intense". Conclusion: The epidemiological profile of pain is of high intensity, burning, penetrating, fixed or diffuse, accompanied by generally constant itching, with negative emotional repercussions, including feelings of anxiety, secondary to depressing, exhausting, suffocating and mortifying pain.

            Painful diabetic neuropathy: diagnosis and management.

            The prevalence of painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDN) is about 20% in patients with type 2 diabetes and 5% in those with type 1. Patients should be systematically questioned concerning suggestive symptoms, as they are not usually volunteers. As PDN is due to small-fibre injury, the 10 g monofilament pressure test as well as the standard electrophysiological procedures may be normal. Diagnosis is based on clinical findings: type of pain (burning discomfort, electric shock-like sensation, aching coldness in the lower limbs); time of occurrence (mostly at rest and at night); and abnormal sensations (such as tingling or numbness). The DN4 questionnaire is an easy-to-use validated diagnostic tool. Three classes of drugs are of equal value in treating PDN: tricyclic antidepressants; anticonvulsants; and selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors. These compounds may be prescribed as first-line therapy following pain assessment using a visual analogue scale. If the initial drug at its maximum tolerated dose does not lead to a decrease in pain of at least 30%, another drug class should be prescribed; if the pain is decreased by 30% but remains greater than 3/10, a drug from a different class may be given in association.

              Prevalencia de neuropatía periférica en diabéticos tipo 2 en el primer nivel de atención

              Neuropathy is a common complication of diabetic patients. To determine the prevalence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy in Type 2 diabetic patients attended at a family medicine unit. Cross-sectional assessment of 348 type 2 diabetic patients aged 34-89 years (60% females) with a disease duration of 5 to 15 years. Peripheral neurological status was evaluated using The Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument, a tool that includes a self-assessment of symptoms and a physical examination. Diabetic neuropathy was found in 240 patients (69%). The prevalence in males and females was 72 and 67% respectively. The prevalence in patients with a disease duration of 5, 10 and 15 years, was 59, 69 and 77%, respectively. Fifty percent of patients with neuropathy complained of dry skin, 2% had ulcers, 43% had an abnormal perception of vibration and 29% had an abnormal monofilament test. The overall prevalence of peripheral neuropathy in this group of patients was 69% and was directly associated with the duration of the disease.
