What is this study about?
A meta-analysis was performed, the ultimate scientific evidence, with rigorous statistics. 18 studies with 1,196 patients were analyzed.
The study seeks to evaluate the efficacy of PEA (palmitoylethanolamide) both in reducing pain in different pathologies and in the impact on quality of life .
The difference in effects is considered depending on the type of pain: nociceptive, neuropathic and nociplastic.
Types of pain:
-
-
Nociceptive
Pain from a blow or injury. It feels like a sharp pain or pressure in the affected area. -
Non-plastic
Pain without a clear injury, due to a failure in how the brain processes it. It is diffuse, persistent and difficult to locate.
Results
El PEA se presenta como una opción prometedora y segura para el manejo del dolor crónico.
Podría ser una alternativa viable a los opioides, reduciendo el riesgo de dependencia.
