Description
Neuropathic pain is a complex condition resulting from a primary lesion or a functional alteration anywhere in the CNS, from peripheral receptors – structures specialized in detecting stimuli – to the higher brain centers. As a consequence of chronicity and persistence, this type of pain severely impacts on the quality of life of patients, since it interferes with daily activities. The incidence of this disorder is more and more frequent in the population, and it is currently responsible for a large number of visits to the specialist. The purpose of this work is to provide a review on the general aspects of pain as an unpleasant sensation as well as an updated revision on how and why neuropathic pain develops.
