Douleurs chroniques : une vaste étude remet en cause l’efficacité des antidépresseurs

A côté des antalgiques classiques, les antidépresseurs sont des traitements couramment prescrits dans le traitement de la douleur chronique, qu’il s’agisse de la migraine, des céphalées de tension, ou de la fibromyalgie, par exemple. Mais quel est réellement leur niveau d’efficacité ?

Selon une nouvelle revue Cochrane, dont les résultats viennent d’être publiés, le niveau de preuve concernant l’utilisation des antidépresseurs dans le traitement de la douleur chronique -mais ne portant pas sur les céphalées- serait en réalité faible, à une exception près. Avec 176 essais cliniques analysés et près de 30 000 patients inclus, il s’agit de la plus grande analyse à ce jour, sur ce sujet. La majorité des études étaient contrôlées par placebo et à bras parallèles. Les pathologies les plus fréquemment représentées étaient la fibromyalgie (59 études), les douleurs neuropathiques (49 études) et les douleurs musculo-squelettiques (40 études). 25 antidépresseurs ont été analysés.

Concernant les données d’efficacité, la duloxétine était le seul traitement a montrer de façon certaine une efficacité, même si elle reste modérée. La dose standard est apparue aussi efficace qu'une dose élevée pour la majorité des critères de jugement. Le milnacipran a aussi montré un effet, « bien que la certitude des preuves soit inférieure à celle de la duloxétine », affirment les auteurs, suggérant des études supplémentaires. En revanche, « il n'y avait pas suffisamment de preuves pour tirer des conclusions solides sur l'efficacité et l'innocuité de tout autre antidépresseur pour la douleur chronique », poursuivent les chercheurs - y compris l’amitriptyline, couramment utilisée -.

En outre, ils soulignent le manque de données concernant les effets secondaires de ces traitements, avec « des données probantes de très faible certitude pour tous les résultats de sécurité (événements indésirables, événements indésirables graves et retrait) pour tous les antidépresseurs ».

    Hello! I'm very excited to share what worked for me to everyone. I'm completely cured from my HSV1&2 with the use of natural medicine. I have used Oregano oil, Coconut oil, Acyclovir, Valacyclovir, Famciclovir and some other products/supplements and it hasn't helped ever since I was diagnosed. I got outbreaks frequently and was completely devastated and I went online for a possible cure and how to get rid of Herpes. On a fateful day after taking my bath, I took my phone and was going through some research, I bumped into a testimonial of a Herbs doctor { Dr Awase } who cures diverse diseases/viruses with Herbal medication. I was hopeful but also doubted the claim. But after a while I thought "what do I have to lose?" so I decided to reach out through his email:- dr.awaseherbalhome@gmail.com He prepared a cure using roots and herbs which I steadily took for 14days as prescribed by him. I am quite glad I decided to reach out because I am totally cured from Herpes after a medical checkup was done by my Dr. So I've decided to make a quick testimony for anyone out there who is probably suffering from an illness they can't handle to reach out to Dr Awase. He specializes in curing lots of illnesses such as HIV, ENDOMETRIOSIS, PCOS, OVARIAN CYST, IBS, INFERTILITY CANCER, AUTISM and lots more. I'm here to let you all know that you can also be cured just like me and you don't have to live with any sort of illness for the rest of your life. To reach out, Contact him via WhatsApp below or Email

    Chronic pain treatments face scrutiny in a new Cochrane review, questioning the effectiveness of antidepressants like the wordle game. Despite analyzing 176 trials with 30,000 patients, only duloxetine showed moderate efficacy. More studies are urged, especially for milnacipran. Uncertainty persists for other antidepressants, including amitriptyline. Safety data also lack certainty. This review challenges common prescriptions for chronic pain, urging reevaluation and further research.
