Neuropathic pain: the pharmacological management of neuropathic pain in adults in non-specialist settings
This clinical guideline updates and replaces the following recommendations on the drug treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy in previous NICE clinical guidelines:
- recommendations 1.11.5.2, 1.11.5.3, 1.11.5.4, 1.11.5.5 and 1.11.5.7 in Type 1 diabetes: diagnosis and management of type 1 diabetes in children, young people and adults (NICE clinical guideline 15)
- recommendations 1.14.2.3, 1.14.2.4, 1.14.2.5 and 1.14.2.6 in Type 2 diabetes: the management of type 2 diabetes (NICE clinical guideline 87).
NICE is aware that there have been concerns about the associated costs that pregabalin may bring to the NHS as one of the first line treatment options for adults with neuropathic pain. In light of new evidence regarding the first line treatment options, NICE consulted in October 2011 on proposed changes to some recommendations in this guideline. NICE is considering further modifications to the guideline following the consultation, and has decided to defer the planned publication in December 2011. Further information will be available here when it becomes available.
Until a further announcement is made, the original guideline (CG96) continues to represent best practice for the NHS.
