Neuropathic Pain
Neuropathic pain stems from damage or dysfunction in the nervous system, characterized by shooting, burning, or stabbing sensations. It often arises from conditions like diabetes, spinal cord injury, or multiple sclerosis. Unlike nociceptive pain, which serves as a warning signal for tissue damage, neuropathic pain persists long after the initial injury has healed. Treatment typically involves a combination of medications like anticonvulsants, antidepressants, and opioids, along with physical therapy or cognitive-behavioral interventions. Despite various treatment options, neuropathic pain can be challenging to manage, with some individuals experiencing chronic, debilitating symptoms that significantly impact their quality of life.
