Why is it important?
The role of nutraceutics and supplements as additional tool for treating chronic pain has grown up in popularity in the past 10 years. Uridine monophosphate as well as acetyl_L-carnitine and also alpha lipoic acid have shown efficacy in treatment of pain due to neuropathies and symptomatic peripheral entrapments.
Perspectives
Neuropathic pain (NP) is a condition resulting from damage or dysfunction of the somatosensory nervous system pathways, often described as a burning, stabbing or electric like excruciating pain [1]. It can be associated to various causes including diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis, trigeminal neuralgia, entrapment syndromes, exposure to neurotoxicants, alcoholism, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, compression or damage to nerve roots or nerves [2].
