Neuropathic pain is caused by injury or disease to the nervous system. There are several different types of neuropathy, including diabetic, central, and peripheral neuropathy.

The nerve damage that causes this pain can be caused by:

  • Diabetes
  • Facial nerve pain
  • Toxins, such as chemotherapy and radiation
  • Shingles
  • Nerve impingement due to disc herniation, carpal tunnel syndrome, and spinal stenosis
  • Vitamin deficiency

Neuropathy Symptoms

Symptoms include changes in sensation, including burning pain, tingling, or numbness. Some people describe their pain as “pins and needles.”

Treatment Options for Neuropathic Pain

There is no cure for neuropathy or the accompanying pain. Treating this pain can be difficult and complex, so it is important to seek an experienced pain management expert for care.

Medications

  • Antidepressants and antiepileptics have been found to help relieve pain by interfering with chemical processes in your brain and spinal cord that cause you to feel pain
  • Topical preparations including anesthetics like lidocaine, or topical anti-inflammatory agents, can improve peripheral neuropathy symptoms
  • Capsaicin cream has modest effects when used for neuropathic pain
  • Botox injections are helpful in the treatment of small areas of localized neuropathic pain
  • NMDA antagonists, such as ketamine and dextromethorphan, may reduce spinal neuron sensitization
