Another study by Jianren Mao et al. examined how “intrathecal treatment with dextrorphan or ketamine potently reduces pain-related behaviours in a rat model of peripheral mononeuropathy”. [11] Mao understands that “the experimental neuropathic pain syndrome seen in CCI rats is similar in many respects to the neuropathic pain syndrome seen ...
Explanatory model of chronic pain. Chronic pain is defined as reoccurring or persistent pain lasting more than 3 months. [1] The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines pain as "An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage".

For neuropathic pain, clinicians look for an underlying lesion to the nervous system or an inciting cause consistent with the development of neuropathic pain. The obvious presence of an underlying feature or cause is not always detectable, and response to treatment may be used as a surrogate particularly in cases where diagnosis of the ...
Gabapentin is recommended as a first-line treatment for chronic neuropathic pain by various medical authorities. [10] [11] [30] [31] This is a general recommendation applicable to all neuropathic pain syndromes except for trigeminal neuralgia, where it may be used as a second- or third-line agent. [11] [31]
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS Type 1 and Type 2), sometimes referred to by the hyponyms Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) or Reflex Neurovascular Dystrophy (RND), is a rare and severe form of neuroinflammatory and dysautonomic disorder causing chronic pain, neurovascular, and neuropathic symptoms.
The treatment of each peripheral nerve entrapment has its own history, making any single narrative incomplete. [82] Theories on the causes of neuropathic pain have been closely intertwined with surgical research in a feedback loop. Theories of neuropathic pain would inform surgical experimentation, and surgical experimentation would lead to ...
