Patients suffering from neuropatic pain are undertreatedPatients with neuropathy and neuropathic pain are often told: "You just have to learn to live." And patients are also not always well treated. Many of themdo not get enough dose of adequate painkillers, or they are treated with drugs with low or no efficacy against neuropathic pain. [1] [2] [3] [4] And that's pretty shocking. For more than 90% of patients with neuropathic pain in the Netherlands is not properly treated! [5] And the quality of life is often very low, even when patients use painkillers!
