Neuropathic pain: a reality for millions of people
According to the Spanish Society of Neurology (SEN), in Spain there are approximately three million people who suffer from neuropathic pain. This condition is characterized by an inflammatory and degenerative involvement of the nerve fibers, which causes a picture of intense, continuous, burning and stabbing pain. Additionally, patients may experience tingling, aching sensations, cramps, and the perception of an electric shock. Neuropathic pain can be caused by nerve entrapment, diabetes mellitus, viral infections, shingles, or surgeries.
The importance of a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach
For the treatment of neuropathic pain, it is essential to adopt a multidisciplinary and comprehensive approach. The objective is to study both the origin and symptomatology of pain, both at a pharmacological and non-pharmacological level. More than 50% of patients with neuropathic pain experience sleep disturbances, around 80% have their quality of life affected, and up to 34% develop depression. Therefore, it is crucial to address this condition holistically to improve the quality of life of patients.
The role of oxidative stress in neuropathic pain
It has been discovered that there is a relationship between oxidative stress and neuropathic pain. Oxidative stress refers to the imbalance between free radicals in the body and the antioxidants available to combat them. When there is an injury at the neuronal level, inflammation and oxidation mechanisms are activated that worsen the evolution of neuropathic pain. However, it has been observed that controlling this stress can improve the symptoms of neuropathic pain.
Tiobec: an innovative solution for neuropathic pain
In the past, the most common treatment for neuropathic pain was based on antineuropathic medications, such as anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, and serotonin reuptake inhibitors. However, these medications often had long-term side effects. In recent years, it has been observed that patients treated with nutraceuticals containing antioxidants experience improvements in their condition. Tiobec® is a range of nutraceuticals with scientific evidence in the management of neuropathic pain. Its main composition is α-lipoic acid, known for its high antioxidant capacity. This active ingredient acts both on the origin and on the symptoms of neuropathic pain, providing neuroprotection, anti-inflammatory and analgesic action.
TIOBEC® DOL: relief for acute pain
TIOBEC® DOL is recommended for the acute pain phase. In addition to its antioxidant action, it offers greater analgesic and anti-inflammatory action. Its formula includes α-lipoic acid, palmitoylenatolamide (PEA) and myrrh extract, which act on the body’s cannabinoid and opioid receptors.
TIOBEC® 400: repair of damaged nerve
TIOBEC® 400 has a vitamin B complex for greater neuroprotection and helps in the repair phase of the damaged nerve.
TIOBEC CBD cream: immediate localized pain relief
TIOBEC CBD cream is the latest launch in the Tiobec range. It combines α-lipoic acid and Cannabidiol (CBD), among other ingredients, to provide immediate relief from localized pain on the skin.
Conclusion
Neuropathic pain is a condition that affects millions of people in Spain. To address it, it is essential to adopt a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach. Tiobec® offers an innovative solution based on nutraceuticals with scientific evidence in the management of neuropathic pain. Its composition, which includes α-lipoic acid, provides neuroprotection, anti-inflammatory and analgesic action. With different products for each phase of pain, Tiobec® is positioned as an effective and safe option to improve the quality of life of patients with neuropathic pain.
