Resumen

Objetivo

Venlafaxina ha demostrado ser eficaz en el tratamiento de la depresión y del dolor. Carecemos de datos sobre el resultado de los pacientes con dolor crónico y síntomas depresivos tratados con venlafaxina en el marco de la atención primaria. Este estudio de observación intentó definir la eficacia de venlafaxina y su prescripción por los médicos de atención primaria y psiquiatras suizos en pacientes con dolor crónico y sintomatología depresiva.

Sujetos y métodos

Estudiamos a 505 pacientes con síntomas depresivos que sufrían dolor crónico en un estudio prospectivo naturalista de observación con venlafaxina en la atención primaria suiza. Estos pacientes fueron tratados con venlafaxina por 122 médicos (psiquiatras, médicos generalistas e internistas).

Resultados

Por término medio, los pacientes recibieron con 143 ± 75 mg (0-450 mg) de venlafaxina al día durante tres meses. Venlafaxina demostró ser eficaz tanto en el tratamiento de los síntomas depresivos como del dolor crónico.

Discusión

Aunque no se observaron efectos secundarios en la mayor parte de los pacientes, posiblemente no se consiguió una respuesta satisfactoria de la depresión por administrar dosis bajas de venlafaxina. Nuestros resultados reflejan la complejidad del tratamiento de dolor crónico en pacientes con síntomas depresivos en la atención primaria.

Conclusión

Son necesarios nuevos estudios aleatorizados que determinen la dosis apropiada de venlafaxina para el tratamiento de la depresión y del dolor coexistente.
