Короткий опис (реферат):
Neuropathic pain (NP) develops as a result of damage or dysfunction
of the system responsible for the transmission of pain signals. The pathophysiology of
neuropathic pain is based on increased neuronal excitability caused by plastic changes
in structures associated with the conduction and processing of nociceptive information.
NP can significantly affect the patient's quality of life. Treatment is often complicated
by resistance to many drugs and the presence of side effects even with successful
pharmacotherapy.
