Pain is a common symptom in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), being reported by 50 % of such patients; the most common presentation is osteoarticular pain, followed by neuropathic pain, especially associated with polyneuropathy. Its approach, as well a sits complications are frequently a problem among physicians. Pain is not an isolated symptom in these patients, they are usually exposed to stressful and emotional alterations such as depression or anxiety. Recent updates define functional chronic pain syndromes as those diseases characterized by daily pain and discomfort related to different parts of the body, common manifestations in these patients. Multimodal analgesia theory is a choice for pain management, here pain is part of complex syndrome and not the only symptom. The aim of this study is to review therapeutic options for treating neuropathic pain in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF).
