Neurogenous pain felt along the peripheral distribution of a nerve trunk.
Is a sudden, severe painful disorder of the nerves.
Pain caused by nerve irritation or damage.
Pain in and originating along nerve fibers.
Pain occurring in the area served by a sensory nerve.
Pain resulting from irritation or inflammation of a nerve.
Severe pain along the course of one or more nerves.
Pain, sometimes severe, that manifests along the length of a nerve and arises in the nerve itself, not in the tissue from which the sensation is felt.
An acute paroxysmal pain along the course of and over the local distribution of a nerve.
Severe pain along nerve ends.
A painful inflammation of a nerve.
A spasm of pain which runs along a nerve.
Severe, often burning, pain along the course of a nerve.
Pain caused by irritation of or damage to a nerve. The pain of neuralgia occurs in brief bouts and may be severe, intense, burning, and stabbing. There are a number of different types of neuralgia: trigeminal neuralgia (which causes severe pain on one side of the face); glossopharyngeal neuralgia (an intense pain that is felt in the throat, ear, and back of the tongue), and occipital neuralgia (in which there is pain, tingling, or numbness at the base of the skull). Treatment depends on diagnosis of the underlying disorder. Medications such as anticonvulsants, antidepressants, and topical painkillers may be helpful.
A severe burning or stabbing pain often following the course of a nerve. Postherpetic neuralgia is an intense debilitating pain felt at the site of a previous attack of shingles. In trigeminal neuralgia (tic douloureux) there are brief paroxysms of searing pain felt in the distribution of one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve in the face. The facial pain of migrainous neuralgia lasts for 30-60 minutes and occurs at roughly the same time on successive days.
Pain which is the result of damage to or irritation of a nerve. The pain tends to be intermittent, occurring in short bursts. It may be very severe and be located along an identifiable nerve. A particular disorder may give rise to neuralgia, migraine being an example, and herpes zoster (shingles) another. Neuralgia may also be caused by disturbance to a particular nerve for instance, trigeminal neuralgia which affects the sensory nerve supplying most of the face.
Pain occurring along the course of a nerve. It may be caused by pressure on nerve trunks, nutritional deficiencies, toxins, or inflammation.
Neuralgia refers to the pain resulting from the irritation or injury of a nerve. This type of pain is typically experienced in short episodes, can be intense, and is often described as shooting along the affected nerve.
Certain forms of neuralgia are characteristic of specific conditions. Individuals with migraines often undergo a type of neuralgia characterized by episodes of severe, radiating pain centered around the eye. Postherpetic neuralgia manifests as a burning pain that can reoccur at the location of a previous herpes zoster (shingles) outbreak, persisting for months or even years following the illness.
Additional forms of neuralgia arise from the disruption of specific nerves. Glossopharyngeal neuralgia, for instance, triggers intense pain in the back of the tongue, throat, and ear—regions innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve. The exact cause remains uncertain. Likewise, trigeminal neuralgia, characterized by severe bursts of pain on one side of the face supplied by the trigeminal nerve, also lacks a definitive cause.
Neuralgia can find relief through the use of analgesic medications like paracetamol. Treatments for glossopharyngeal, trigeminal, and postherpetic neuralgia might involve carbamazepine or other anticonvulsant drugs, as well as tricyclic antidepressants.
Intense pain along the path of a nerve characterized by a sharp, piercing sensation that occurs in sudden bursts, typically of short duration. Often, tenderness can be felt at the points where the nerve exits, and these painful episodes can be triggered by contact with specific areas known as trigger zones.
