Neuropathic pain, also known as neuropathic pain, is a type of chronic pain that results from damage to the somatosensory nervous system. This system is responsible for transmitting pain signals from the body to the brain. Neuropathic pain can occur due to various conditions, including injuries, infections, or diseases that affect the nerves. It is characterized by a burning, shooting, or stabbing sensation, often described as a "pins and needles" feeling. Unlike nociceptive pain, which is caused by tissue damage or inflammation, neuropathic pain can persist even when the initial injury or condition has healed. Common causes of neuropathic pain include diabetes, shingles, multiple sclerosis, and certain medications. Treatment options for neuropathic pain may include medications, physical therapy, and in some cases, nerve stimulation therapies. Management of neuropathic pain often requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving healthcare professionals such as neurologists, pain specialists, and physical therapists.
