Neuropathic Pain
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Neuropathic pain is a type of pain that arises from a disturbance or injury in the nervous system, rather than from direct damage to the tissues as happens with other kinds of pain.
Common symptoms: It is usually described as burning, electric shocks, tingling, or a pins-and-needles sensation, and it can appear even with stimuli that normally do not cause discomfort.
Common causes: It can be associated with conditions that affect the nerves, such as nerve compression, certain metabolic diseases, or the aftereffects of injuries.
Which specialist treats it? The evaluation of neuropathic pain may involve the neurosurgeon when nerve compression or structural involvement is suspected. If you experience this type of pain persistently, seeking a professional evaluation helps clarify its cause.
