Understanding Neuropathic Pain
Neuropathic pain is a complex, chronic pain condition typically caused by damage or disease affecting the somatosensory nervous system. Unlike nociceptive pain, which arises from potential or actual tissue damage, neuropathic pain arises from abnormalities in the nerves themselves. This can result in spontaneous pain, or an increased response to painful and non-painful stimuli.
There are multiple causes of neuropathic pain, which can be broadly grouped into peripheral neuropathic pain, central neuropathic pain, or mixed (both). Potential causes include conditions like:
- Diabetes
- Shingles
- Chemotherapy
- Nerve compression or trauma
Stroke - Multiple sclerosis
- Certain types of surgery
- Vitamin deficiencies.
Symptoms of neuropathic pain vary widely from person to person but often include sensations of burning, shooting, stabbing, tingling, or numbness in the affected area. In some cases, the pain can occur spontaneously, and often, the pain persists even after the original injury or disease process has healed or ceased. Because the nerve damage or malfunction that causes neuropathic pain is often irreversible, the pain can be chronic.
Signs of Neuropathic Pain
You might benefit from neuropathic pain treatment if you’re experiencing the following:
- Chronic pain in a specific area that doesn’t improve with typical treatments or medications.
- Shooting, burning, stabbing, or tingling sensations.
- Numbness and weakness in the affected area.
- Changes in skin color or temperature around the painful area.
Traditional approaches to treating neuropathic pain often rely on medications that target the nervous system, such as antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and opioids. However, these medications can come with unwanted side effects and may not provide enough relief for some individuals.
