Resumen

La prevalencia exacta del dolor neuropático periférico es desconocida. La complejidad y las múltiples presentaciones clínicas dificultan su abordaje. Por ello, se antoja necesario conocer los mecanismos patobiológicos que acontecen en los pacientes con este tipo de afección. La fisioterapia ha emergido en los últimos años como una alternativa o complemento a los tratamientos médicos convencionales. En este trabajo, se introducen aspectos fundamentales del dolor neuropático y las neuropatías por atrapamiento, y se revisa el conocimiento relacionado con los mecanismos de acción de las distintas técnicas de fisioterapia sobre el dolor neuropático y el proceso fisiopatológico de las neuropatías por atrapamiento.
