Neuropathic pain is an abnormal sensation that occurs when nerves are damaged or become dysfunctional causing a misfiring of pain signals to the brain. Neuropathic pain can be experienced as burning, aching, shooting, stabbing or electric shock-like pain. It is often intense, worse at night and may lead to disability. Due to alteration in nerve sensitivity, pain may even be brought on by mild stimuli such as a gentle touch or a cold breeze.
