  2. Peripheral mononeuropathy - Wikipedia

    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". [2]

  4. Electroanalgesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroanalgesia

    Recent studies have demonstrated that electrical stimulation of nerves leads to inhibitory input to the pain pathways at the spinal cord level. [7] PNS is most effective in the treatment of neuropathic pain (e.g., posttraumatic neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy) when the nerve lesion is distal to the site of stimulation. [8]

  5. Neuropathic pain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuropathic_pain

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_compression_syndrome

    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 ...

  7. Pain ladder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain_ladder

    "Pain ladder", or analgesic ladder, was created by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a guideline for the use of drugs in the management of pain. Originally published in 1986 for the management of cancer pain , it is now widely used by medical professionals for the management of all types of pain .

  8. Complex regional pain syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_regional_pain_syndrome

    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.

  9. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy - Wikipedia

    5) Proteasome inhibitors, namely bortezomib, are used in the treatment of multiple myeloma and certain types of lymphoma. Bortezomib increases the production of sphingosine-1 phosphate, tumor necrosis factor α, and interleukin-1β, which ultimately leads to the development of neuropathic pain. The side effects of receiving bortezomib include ...
