Nerve Pain & Its Treatment

About Nerve Pain or Neuralgia:

Nerve related pain is also called Neuralgia. Usually, any other cause for pain is not
found then we think of nerve-related pain. The typical characteristic of this pain is
burning, stabbing, pinprick, or tingling sensation in the affected area. Most of our
patients complain of pain ranging from a specific area to the whole body. This pain
either could be due to over-sensitivity of the nerves  or any specific disease-related
example herpetic Neuralgia. Even a few of our patients a labeled as if the pain is in their
head, or they are pretending or even psychiatric reference is being done.

Causes of Nerve Pain / Neuralgia:

When the sensitivity of the nerves increases or if the patient suffers from any pain for a
longer duration of time then the pain handling capacity of the body becomes weak
which ultimately results into pain and depression.
Various causes are as follows:

• Infection
