Nerve Pain

About Nerve Pain

Nerve pain is a frequently distressing pain type, often associated with feelings like electric shock, burning or sensitivity.  In addition, the peculiar sensation of pain in an area of numbness is also typical for nerve pain. 

Nerve pain can occur from a number of causes for instance pain from long term illness such as diabetes, after chemotherapy for cancer treatment, after surgery or as a result of trauma or infection.

Whilst frequently poorly treated, pain specialists use well researched management regimes including options such as medications and interventions.

Evidence based paradigms for nerve pain management exist which guide treatment using the best medications, simple injection techniques all the way up to implanted spinal cord devices.
