[Vitamin B in rheumatic diseases: critical review].
Vitamin B1, B6 and B12 are frequently prescribed in rheumatic diseases as analgesic drugs. If some fundamental data suggest their analgesic potential, especially in animal models, there are very few clinical trials in human demonstrating their efficacy in rheumatology. Looking at these data from the literature, we should reconsider our prescription of vitamin B.
