Neuropathic pain is a complex, chronic pain condition resulting from damage or dysfunction in the nervous system, either peripheral nerves or the central nervous system . Neuropathic pain originates from abnormal nerve signaling and can cause burning, shooting, or electric shock-like sensations. Common causes include diabetes, shingles, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and nerve compression. Patients may also experience tingling, numbness, and hypersensitivity to stimuli that are normally not painful.
