Neuropathic pain

Neuropathic pain may result from disorders of the peripheral nervous
system or the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Thus, neuropathic pain may
be divided into peripheral neuropathic pain, central neuropathic pain, or mixed (peripheral
and central) neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is pain caused by damage or disease
affecting the somatosensory nervous system.
