Resumo

A neuropatia diabética periférica (NDP) é uma complicação do diabetes mellitus caracterizada por dor, alteração da sensibilidade e, em casos graves, perda funcional. Este estudo revisou a literatura para avaliar avanços recentes na terapia e o potencial terapêutico da bergenina na NDP. A busca em cinco bases de dados (2014-2024) identificou 303 artigos, dos quais 43 foram incluídos após triagem rigorosa. Os estudos analisados foram categorizados em diabetes (n=14), neuropatia periférica (n=11) e ambos (n=18). A bergenina, um composto bioativo de plantas como Bergenia ciliata, demonstrou propriedades antioxidantes, anti-inflamatórias e neuroprotetoras. Ensaios pré-clínicos indicaram que reduz o estresse oxidativo e citocinas pró-inflamatórias (TNF-α e IL-6), protegendo os nervos periféricos. Estudos clínicos mostraram melhora moderada na dor neuropática e sensibilidade tátil, mas há necessidade de mais pesquisas para validar seu impacto. Os desafios incluem falta de padronização nos métodos de avaliação da eficácia, pequenas amostras em ensaios clínicos e variações na dosagem. A ausência de consenso sobre os mecanismos de ação também exige investigações adicionais sobre vias moleculares, como P2Y e P2X. Conclui-se que a bergenina tem potencial terapêutico para a NDP, mas estudos translacionais e ensaios clínicos mais robustos são essenciais para confirmar sua eficácia. Pesquisas futuras devem focar por exemplo na sintese de derivados com maior biodisponibilidade e em abordagens integradas que combinem tratamento farmacológico, controle glicêmico e mudanças no estilo de vida dos pacientes.
