Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Neuropathic pain: It is a nervous system disorder caused by damage to sensory nerves. It is caused by chronic progressive nerve disease or due to infection or injury. The pain could be intermittent or continuous, which is felt as a prickling, stabbing, tingling, or burning sensation. A feeling of numbness and loss of sensations is also common with neuropathic pain. Usually, the body sends the pain signals when there is an injury, but with neuropathic pain, the pain is not triggered by an injury; the body unpromptedly sends the pain signals. Symptoms include spontaneous, untriggered pain; unpleasant feelings; shooting, burning, or stabbing pain; difficulty resting or sleeping; and evoked pain (pain caused by events that are usually not painful).
