Dolor oncológico de tipo neuropático por compresión radicular metastásica.

Oncologic pain is a particularly important entity within hospital clinical care. It may take different presentation forms such assomatic, visceral and/or neuropathic. All of them pose a challenge forclinical doctors. We present a case study of a patient with oncologic pain of mixed nature: somatic and neuropathic. This pain is caused by multiple metastatic lesions on the spinal cord. Given the complexity of the case, diverse types of analgesic treatments are considered: an interventional treatment with radiofrequency, intrathecal therapy, and intravenous methadone. Then, a detailed discussion takes place with regards the selection of the chosen treatment. Considering the complexity of oncologic pain, it is of the utmost importance to accurately assess the features of the pain referred by the patient. This will allow us to choose an adequate treatment depending on the available options and according to the patient’s needs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
