Patients diagnosed with neuropathic pain experience continuous or intermittent spontaneous pain throughout their lives. Pharmacological treatments often provide limited relief; therefore, a multidisciplinary approach should be utilized to manage neuropathic pain. This review examines the current literature on integrative health modalities (anti-inflammatory diets, functional movement, acupuncture, meditation, and transcutaneous therapy) for treating patients with neuropathic pain.
The use of an anti-inflammatory diet, functional movement, acupuncture, meditation, and transcutaneous therapy in treating neuropathic pain has been investigated in prior literature with positive outcomes. However, there remains a large void in evidence-based knowledge and clinical applicability for these interventions. Overall, integrative health offers a cost-efficient and harmless way of creating a multidisciplinary approach to managing neuropathic pain. There are many complementary approaches to treating neuropathic pain as part of an integrative medicine approach. Research is needed to explore other herbs and spices not yet reported in the peer-review literature. Additionally, follow-on research is needed to understand the clinical applicability of the proposed interventions as well as the dose and timing of the interventions to predict response and duration.
被诊断为神经性疼痛的患者一生中会经历持续或间歇性的自发疼痛。药物治疗往往只能提供有限的缓解；因此，应采用多学科方法来管理神经性疼痛。本综述考察了当前关于综合健康模式（抗炎饮食、功能性运动、针灸、冥想和经皮治疗）治疗神经性疼痛患者的文献。
先前的文献已对抗炎饮食、功能性运动、针灸、冥想和经皮治疗在治疗神经性疼痛方面的应用进行了研究，并取得了积极成果。然而，这些干预措施在循证知识和临床适用性方面仍存在很大空白。总体而言，综合健康提供了一种经济高效且无害的方式来创建多学科方法管理神经性疼痛。作为综合医学方法的一部分，有许多补充方法可用于治疗神经性疼痛。需要开展研究以探索同行评审文献中尚未报道的其他草药和香料。此外，还需要后续研究来了解所提议干预措施的临床适用性以及干预措施的剂量和时机，以预测反应和持续时间。
