Abstract
|
|
|
|
Neuropathic pain is initiated by a primary lesion or dysfunction in the peripheral or central nervous system involving abnormal peripherally or centrally mediated mechanisms, which may or may not involve nociceptor stimulation. And this pain can manifest itself as either spontaneous pain elicited without a stimulus (stimulus-independent pain) and/or as pain hypersensitivity elicited after a stimulus (stimulus- evoked or stimulus-dependent pain). Physicians who dedicated for the care of pain patients should understand the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain and accurate evaluation would guide appropriate management of it.
