These expert guidelines for treating neuropathic pain are particularly important, since most of the treatments are off label--meaning that they have been approved by the FDA but not for this particular purpose. These guidelines will help educate doctors about what treatments are best, and should also help in getting insurance reimbursements for care that clearly represents expert consensus but is not in the official labeling at this time.
这些治疗神经性疼痛的专家指南尤为重要,因为大多数治疗方法都属于未按说明书用药——也就是说,它们已获美国食品药品监督管理局批准,但并非用于此特定目的。这些指南将有助于让医生了解哪些治疗方法最佳,也应有助于为显然代表专家共识但目前未在官方说明书中的治疗获取保险赔付。
