Abstract

The study and treatment of peripheral neuropathies and neuralgia has become an important field of research. The pain associated with these pathological conditions has not yet been fully understood and still have not received the due interest in the common neurological tests. The pain caused by peripheral neuropathy or neuralgia, sometimes sporadic or chronic, may be resistant to treatment. However, a treatment regimen well-adjusted and applied to a unit of pain therapy, offers the best guarantees of a successful outcome, compared to other specialized approaches.Have been proposed different terms to define this type of pain linked to changes in the neurological functions, but what is now the preferred term, precisely, of neuropathic pain which only indicates its origin from functional abnormality of the nervous system.
