This review discusses the mechanisms and treatment of neuropathic pain, highlighting its complex nature and diverse causes, including trauma, nerve compression, autoimmune disorders, diabetes, and infections. Neuropathic pain is characterized by sensory disturbances and pain, often involving central and peripheral sensitization. The review outlines various types of neuropathic pain, such as evoked, spontaneous, referred, central, and peripheral neuropathic pain, each with distinct mechanisms and presentations. For example, postherpetic neuralgia is associated with nerve damage from the varicella-zoster virus, while trigeminal neuralgia involves pain from the trigeminal nerve. Painful radiculopathy results from nerve root compression, and painful polyneuropathies are often linked to diabetes and genetic disorders. The review also covers treatment options, including pharmacological interventions like gabapentinoids, tricyclic antidepressants, and SNRIs, as well as interventional treatments such as spinal cord stimulation. It emphasizes the importance of evidence-based approaches and highlights challenges in diagnosing and managing neuropathic pain, particularly in pediatric populations. The review also addresses genetic pain conditions, anatomic compression, complex regional pain syndromes, and autoimmune neuropathic conditions, along with the role of cognitive behavioral therapy in treatment. Overall, the review provides a comprehensive overview of the current understanding and management of neuropathic pain.This review discusses the mechanisms and treatment of neuropathic pain, highlighting its complex nature and diverse causes, including trauma, nerve compression, autoimmune disorders, diabetes, and infections.
