RESUMEN

INTRODUCCIÓN:

La polineuropatía es una de las complicaciones más frecuente de la diabetes mellitus. Las lesiones estructurales más frecuentemente demostradas se caracterizan por la atrofia y lesiones estructurales específicas. Dicha condición médica está relacionada con alta morbilidad, utilización alta del sistema de salud y calidad de vida comprometida por el dolor sufrido por el paciente. La prevalencia de Polineuropatía diabética se presenta en el 5% al 80% de los diabéticos, dependiendo de los criterios diagnósticos utilizados y del tiempo desde el la aparición de la diabetes. OBJETIVOS. Evaluar la eficacia y seguridad del ácido Alfa Lipoico en el tratamiento de la Polineuropatía Diabética para su posible incorporación al FTM.

MÉTODOS:

La búsqueda de información comenzó con una búsqueda de la literatura científica en la base de Revisiones de la Colaboración Cochrane, en Medline, y posteriormente en las organizaciones internacionales científicas NICE, centro de revisiones y diseminación de la universidad de York (Database HTA) e INESSS. Se evaluó el efecto del Ácido Alfa Lipoico comparado con la alternativa terapéutica (Gabapentina).

RESULTADOS:

No se encontraron revisiones del Ácido Alfa Lipoico pero si existe una revisión de la Gabapentina para el dolor neuropático en la Cochrane Collaboration. Se encontraron varios ensayos aleatorizados y una revisión sistemática, todos comparando el tratamiento con Acido Alfa Lipoico versus placebo no comparados con la alternativa terapéutica.

DISCUSIÓN:

Existe en el FTM un fármaco para la neuropatía diabética (Gabapentina). No se encontró ningún estudio aleatorizado del Ácido Alfa Lipoico versus la Gabapentina u otras tecnologías alternativas. Igualmente, al consultar las guías internacionales no figura el Ácido Alfa-Lipoico en ninguna de las guías médicas como recomendación para la neuropatía diabética.

CONCLUSIÓN:

No es posible acceder a la inclusión de este fármaco en el Formulario Terapéutico de Medicamentos con el presente nivel de información tanto nacional como internacional.(AU)
ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

Polyneuropathy is among the most frequent complications in diabetes mellitus. The most common lesions are characterized by atrophy and specific structural lesions. Such medical condition is related to high morbility, low quality of life and relies heavily on health services mostly due to the associated pain experienced by the patient. Diabetic polyneuropathy is found in 5 to 80% of diabetic patients, depending on the diagnostic criteria and the time since diabetes started.

OBJECTIVE:

The purpose of the present report is to assess the scientific literature regarding the efficacy and safety of Lipoic Acid for the treatment of Diabetic Polyneuropathy, in order to consider its possible inclusion in the Uruguayan National Formulary.

METHODOLOGY:

A comprehensive literature review was performed, accessing Cochrane Collaboration Reviews, Medline, NICE, Centre for Reviews and Dissemination of the University of York (HTA database), INESSS, and scientific publications derived from the articles found in the previous database. The assessment was done comparing Lipoic acid to other alternative therapeutic option (Gabapentin). All publications were studied and their quality assessed.

RESULTS:

There were no reviews found in the literature on Lipoic Acid compared to Gabapentine, although there was a Cochrane review of Neuropathic Pain and Gabapentine. There were a few randomized trials and a systematic review, all comparing treatment with Lipoic acid and placebo, and not to Gabapentine.

DISCUSSION:

There already exists a pharmaceutical drug for Diabetic Neuropathy (Gabapentina) in the National Formulary. There were no randomized trials on Lipoic acid versus Gabapentina or other therapeutic options. Similarly, when consulting international guidelines there was no information or recommendation of Lipoic acid for Diabetic Neuropathy. Conclusion. There is not enough evidence (national or international) to consider the inclusion of Lipoic acid in the Uruguayan National Formulary.

CONCLUSION:

There is not enough evidence (national or international) to consider the inclusion of Lipoic acid in the Uruguayan National Formulary.(AU)
