SUMMARY
The prevalence of neuropathic pain requires proposals for management guidelines. In some cases, the degree of severity and the difficulty of treating this disorder has resulted in poor quality of life. In Europe, reported prevalence is 5%, and chronic postoperative pain ranges between 5% and 85%, depending on the type of surgery. The purpose of this paper is to review the pharmacological options for treating neuropathic pain depending on the pathophysiology, and suggest therapeutical approaches with medications available in Colombia, included or not in the Mandatory Health Plan.

RESUMEN
El dolor neuropático es una patología cuya prevalencia requiere proponer guías de manejo. Su severidad y, en algunos casos, dificultad para el tratamiento deterioran la calidad de vida. La prevalencia reportada en Europa es del 5%, y en dolor crónico post-operatorio varía entre 5 y 85% dependiendo del tipo de cirugía. El objetivo del presente artículo es revisar las alternativas farmacológicas para el manejo de dolor neuropático de acuerdo con su fundamento fisiopatológico, y presentar sugerencias para el manejo con medicamentos disponibles en Colombia, incluidos y no incluidos en el Plan Obligatorio de Salud.
Palabras clave:
