Neuropathic pain can be generated by damage, injury or inflammation of nerve structures that are in the brain and are responsible for pain perception or that are peripheral and transmit sensitivity (nerves, nerve plexuses, spinal cord, among others).

Central neuropathic pain:

Post-stroke pain. Pain due to spinal cord trauma. For neuroinflammatory diseases: multiple sclerosis, among others.

Peripheral neuropathic pain:

*Mononeuropathies: carpal tunnel syndrome / tarsus, intercostal neuralgia, postoperative neuralgia, among others. Polyneuropathies: diabetic, toxic, hereditary, among others. Plexopathies: traumatic, inflammatory or degenerative, among others.
