Abstract
Neuropathy is a frequent complication of diabetes mellitus. A substantial percentage of patients with diabetic polyneuropathy report chronic neuropathic pain with significant impairment of quality of life. Pregabalin is a drug with antiepileptic, analgesic and anxiolytic activity, which has been demonstrated to be useful in the treatment of peripheral neuropathic pain. The present article reviews the pharmacological profile and scientific evidence that justifies the use of this drug in painful diabetic polyneuropathy.
