Management Of Neuropathic Pain Through Unani System Of Medicine

Abstract

Neuropathic pain is associated with impaired quality of life, and is often poorly managed. Around 7–8% of adults have pain with neuropathic characteristics. A quarter of people with diabetes and 35% of people with HIV have neuropathic pain. The management of neuropathic pain can be challenging and, as with all pain, should be approached with a bio psychosocial framework. There are several options for drug treatment as part of an overall approach to improve patients’ quality of life and function. Through this paper an effort has been made to focus on how Unani system of medicine can overcome this condition.
