Abstract

Neuropathic Pain (NP) is a complex, chronic pain state often resulting from nerve injury or disease affecting the somatosensory system. It is characterized by sensations such as burning, shooting pain, and hypersensitivity to normally non-painful stimuli. Managing NP presents significant clinical challenges due to its diverse etiologies and the variability in patient responses to treatment. This article reviews current clinical approaches to managing NP, emphasizing pharmacological treatments, interventional strategies, and complementary therapies. Despite significant advancements in understanding and treating NP, many patients remain inadequately treated, highlighting the need for individualized, multimodal treatment plans. Future research should focus on refining these approaches, exploring new therapeutic avenues, and enhancing the understanding of NP pathophysiology to develop more effective and targeted therapies.
