Abstract
JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O relato inclui sete casos de pacientes com dor neuropática crônica não-oncológica que não haviam obtido resultados satisfatórios com os tratamentos clássicos com antidepressivos tricíclicos e anticonvulsivantes. O uso da metadona, opióide sintético, semelhante à morfina, por via oral, é referido como alternativa no tratamento da dor neuropática pela sua ação antagonista não-competitiva sobre os receptores NMDA. Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar o uso da metadona no tratamento de pacientes portadores de dores crônicas de origem neuropática não-oncológica que não melhoraram com os tratamentos clássicos. RELATO DOS CASOS: São apresentados sete casos nos quais a dose de metadona foi titulada em consultas subseqüentes e as variáveis escore da intensidade álgica segundo a escala de faces, efeitos colaterais e melhora da capacidade funcional foram analisados no 1º, 7º, 14º, 30º e 180º dias após o início do uso da medicação. Houve redução do escore da intensidade álgica e a ocorrência de efeitos colaterais como constipação, sedação, náuseas, cefaléia e insônia. Não foram observados efeitos colaterais do tipo euforia, sudorese, mioclonias, retenção urinária, redução de libido e depressão respiratória. CONCLUSÕES: Os pacientes apresentaram resposta que foi considerada satisfatória ao uso da medicação, em baixas doses; controle dos efeitos colaterais com medidas simples e melhora representativa da capacidade funcional. A inclusão da metadona, nas condições deste estudo, mostrou-se uma opção eficaz, segura e de baixo custo, para o tratamento das dores de origem neuropáticas não-oncológicas.

RELATO DE LOS CASOS: Se presentan siete casos en los cuales la dosis de metadona fue titulada en consultas subsiguientes y los variables resultados de la intensidad álgica según la escala de aspectos, efectos colaterales y mejora de la capacidad funcional fueron analizados en el 1º, 7º, 14º, 30º y 180º días después del inicio del uso de la medicación. Hubo reducción de los resultados de la intensidad álgica y la ocurrencia de efectos colaterales como constipación, sedación, náuseas, cefalea e insomnio. No fueron observados efectos colaterales del tipo euforia, sudoresis, mioclonias, retención urinaria, reducción de la libido y depresión respiratoria. CONCLUSIONES: Los pacientes presentaron respuesta considerada satisfactoria al uso de la medicación, en bajas dosis; control de los efectos colaterales con medidas simples y mejora representativa de la capacidad funcional. La inclusión de la metadona, en las condiciones de este estudio, se mostró una opción eficaz, segura y de bajo valor, para el tratamiento de los dolores de origen neuropáticos no oncológicos.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This report includes seven patients with chronic non-oncologic neuropathic pain who have not responded to classic approaches with tricyclic antidepressant and anticonvulsant drugs. Oral methadone, a synthetic opioid similar to morphine, is referred as alternative to treat neuropathic pain due to its non-competitive antagonist action on NMDA receptors. This study aimed at evaluating methadone to treat chronic non-oncologic neuropathic pain patients who have not responded to classic approaches. CASE REPORTS: Seven cases in which methadone dose was titrated in subsequent visits are presented. Pain severity according to facial scale, side effects and improved functional capacity were evaluated 1, 7, 14, 30 and 180 days after treatment beginning. There has been decrease in pain severity and in the incidence of side effects, such as constipation, sedation, nausea, headache and insomnia. There has been no euphoria, sweating, myoclonia, urinary retention, decreased libido and respiratory depression. CONCLUSIONS: Patients responded satisfactorily to low dose medication, side effects were controlled with simple measures and there has been significant functional capacity improvement. In the conditions of this study, methadone was an effective, safe and low-cost option to treat non-oncologic neuropathic pain.
