RESUMEN
Antecedentes: El dolor de la columna cervical es un problema frecuente y está conformado por un grupo heterogéneo de enfermedades. Se ha estimado que presenta una prevalencia en la población general de los países industrializados del 20% y que es más común en mujeres que en hombres.
Objetivo: Presentar al lector una información actual respecto a los mecanismos involucrados en la generación de este síndrome doloroso en el paciente con artritis reumatoide.
Resultados: Entre las enfermedades asociadas al dolor de la columna cervical se encuentra la artritis reumatoide, generando alteraciones en este segmento del axis en el 10 al 86% de los individuos que la padecen. La inestabilidad de este segmento en el paciente con artritis reumatoide es potencialmente letal y promueve modificaciones biomecánicas capaces de producir manifestaciones neurológicas como: (i) radiculopatía, (ii) mielopatía y (iii) compromiso de los nervios craneales. Se han utilizado diversos abordajes terapéuticos para el alivio del dolor, entre los que se encuentran abordajes como: (i) farmacológicos, (ii) no farmacológicos, (iii) intervencionistas y (iv) quirúrgicos.
Conclusiones: El dolor de la columna cervical requiere de una evaluación acuciosa que permita identificar su etiología y en consecuencia proporcionar un abordaje terapéutico óptimo.
