Popis: Neuropathic pain occurs with diabetic polyneuropathy more often than with all polyneuropathies of another etiology. Because the cause of pain can rarely be cured, treatment is usually symptomatic. Neuropathic pain is usually poorly controlled by analgesics. Management of neuropathic pain is started with conservative pharmacotherapy before invasive pain management is applied. Although there are many drugs that can be used in patients with diabetic pain syndrome, pain syndrome can not be surely stoped with monotherapy. In addition, the patient may not tolerate the full therapeutic dose of the drug. All this dictates the need for combination therapy. It is believed that regional anesthesia as an independent type of analgesia or a component of combined anesthesia is the method of choice for the elderly and senile patients. The main reasons for this choice, when comparing regional anesthesia with narcosis, are less stressful response of the organism, absence of depression of the central nervous system, stable reliable analgesia with complete blockade of nociceptive reflexes with the provision of adequate muscle relaxation, prevention of neurovegetative reactions, which ultimately helps to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality. Clinicians have accumulated considerable experience demonstrating the need for regional analgesia in the management of diabetic foot pain.
