Résumé

Les douleurs neuropathiques périphériques (DN) ont fait l’objet de nombreuses recherches fondamentales et cliniques au cours des 20 dernières années. Ces travaux ont conduit à une meilleure compréhension de leur physiopathologie, au développement de nouvelles thérapeutiques, puis à la publication de recommandations pour leur diagnostic et leur traitement. Ces recommandations concernent essentiellement la prise en charge des patients européens et nord-américains, et aucune recommandation n’est disponible pour le traitement des DN dans la région du Maghreb francophone alors que cette région arbore des spécificités en termes de prévalence des pathologies causales des DN et des comorbidités. C’est la raison pour laquelle un groupe interdisciplinaire d’experts de l’Algérie, du Maroc et de la Tunisie s’est réuni pour élaborer, à partir des données déjà publiées et en tenant compte des particularités de leur pays respectif, des recommandations spécifiques pour la prise en charge pharmacologique des DN.

Abstract

Peripheral neuropathic pain (NeP) has been a major theme of basic and clinical research over the past 20 years. Extensive research has led to an increased knowledge of underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, the development of new therapeutic agents, and the publication of treatment guidelines. Nonetheless, a significant gap in the treatment guideline literature appears to be the exclusive focus on recommendations for managing NeP patients in North America and Europe. To date there are no guidelines for NeP in the French-speaking North-African countries (Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco), while these countries display several specificities in terms of aetiologies of NeP and comorbidities. A multidisciplinary panel of experts met to reach a consensus on how best to apply evidence-based guidelines for the treatment of NeP in this region of the world. From the so far published guidelines, they propose recommendations for the pharmacological management of NeP in their countries.
