2010-03-01
Neuropathic pain develops as a result of damage to, or dysfunction of, the system that normally signals pain. It may arise from a heterogeneous group of disorders that affect the peripheral and central nervous systems. Common examples include painful diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia and trigeminal neuralgia. People with neuropathic pain may experience altered pain sensation, areas of numbness or burning, and continuous or intermittent evoked or spontaneous pain. Neuropathic pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience that can have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life.
