A grading system of definite, probable, and possible neuropathic pain is proposed, which includes the grade possible, which can only be regarded as a working hypothesis, and the grades probable and definite, which require confirmatory evidence from a neurologic examination.

Neuropathic pain: From mechanisms to treatment.

Neuropathic pain caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system is a common chronic pain condition with major impact on quality of life and the major classes of therapeutics include drugs acting on α2 δsubunits of calcium channels, sodium channels, and descending modulatory inhibitory pathways.

Neuropathic Pain and Chronic Opioid Use

A broad range of disease and injury can result in neuropathic pain and there are multiple classification schema ranging from anatomic to etiologic; none are as of yet universally accepted.

Neuropathic pain: Definition, classification and treatment

In addition to pharmacological, non-pharmacological treatment methods are also used, including: blockade of peripheral nerves, epidural application of corticosteroids, radiofrequency neuroablation, peripheral and central neurostimulation, as well as various methods of physical therapy.

Screening and Measurement Tools for Neuropathic Pain: Their Role in Clinical Research and Practice

Recently, several screening and measurement tools have been developed to discriminate the nociceptive and neuropathic pain.

Neuropathic pain: Spotlighting anatomy, experimental models, mechanisms, and therapeutic aspects

The determination of common molecular markers with suitable in vitro models would simplify the assessment of neuropathic pain in vivo and provide insights into common molecular mechanisms of the disease and establish a basis to search for satisfying therapeutic approaches.

Understanding and Treating Neuropathic Pain

It is suggested that targeting ion channels in the sensory nerves and excitatory transmission in the dorsal horn may lead to urgently needed new treatments for neuropathic pain and the effectiveness of gabapentinoids may be increased by combining these agents with the TRPV1 agonist capsaicin.

Targeting of peripherally expressed pain-related molecules in injury- induced chronic neuropathic pain.

Examining pain-related molecules in the pathogenesis of peripheral nerve injury-induced pain and discusses potentially useful therapeutic targets on the basis of preclinical findings in rodent neuropathic pain models focuses on transmembrane proteins, particularly the voltage-gated and ligand- gated ion channels, which modulate peripheral nerve function.
