Does anyone know about Neuropathic pain, the symptoms and the possible cures?
Neuropathic pain (NeP) is a type of chronic pain caused by injury or disease of the nervous system that frequently results in a burning, tingling and shock-like sensation. Nerve pain is often puzzling and frustrating for people with NeP and physicians, as it seems to respond poorly to standard pain therapies. It also can last indefinitely, may escalate over time and can result in disability. The symptoms of neuropathic pain can be mild to incapacitating and are often progressive. Treatments may include antidepressants, opioids, NSAIDs and anticonvulsants, however, only a few are approved for the treatment of neuropathic pain.
