Understanding Neuropathic Pain
CNS Spectrums, 2005AbstractNeuropathic pain is defined as a chronic pain condition that occurs or persists after a primary lesion or dysfunction of the peripheral or central nervous system. Traumatic injury of peripheral nerves also increases the excitability of nociceptors in and around nerve trunks and involves components released from nerve terminals (neurogenic ...

Epidemiology of Neuropathic Pain
Pain Management, 2010Epidemiology is an essential clinical tool in designing and evaluating management and prevention strategies, and is particularly relevant to neuropathic pain. Despite its relevance to neuropathic pain however, there is a paucity of accurate information on its prevalence, distribution and determinants, for several reasons.

The management of neuropathic pain
Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2004Although the definitive treatment for neuropathic pain remains elusive, scientific investigation continues to provide the field with better and better therapies. As our understanding of the neurophysiologic mechanisms of pain improves, pharmaceutic therapies have become more effective even as side effects are minimized.

Neuromodulation for neuropathic pain
The treatment of neuropathic pain (NeP) often leads to partial or incomplete pain relief, with up to 40 % of patients being pharmaco-resistant. In this chapter the efficacy of neuromodulation techniques in treating NeP is reviewed. It presents a detailed evaluation of the mechanisms of action and evidence supporting the clinical use of the most common ...da Cunha, Pedro Henrique Martins +3 more

Dental Clinics of North America, 2018
Neuropathic pain of the orofacial region can cause much distress in individuals presenting with this condition. It may be easily mistaken for dental pain, and hence many individuals may undergo unnecessary dental work. Knowledge of the types of neuropathic orofacial pain may assist in timely diagnosis and improvement of a patient's quality of life.

The Treatment of Neuropathic Pain
CNS Spectrums, 2005AbstractNeuropathic pain is responsible for a significant amount of the morbidity associated with generalized and focal peripheral neuropathies. It is a consequence of alterations in neuronal function, chemistry, and structure that occur secondary to nerve injury.
