Nerve pain, also known as neuralgia or neuropathic pain, is defined as shooting, stabbing, or burning sensations caused by nerve damage or injury that sends pain signals to the brain. It can be difficult to cure, but there are several options available, including pain medications, non-medical treatments including exercise, acupuncture, and relaxation techniques. Nerve pain can affect every nerve in the body, with notable examples being post-herpetic pain, trigeminal pain, occipital pain, and pudendal pain. Nerve pain is diagnosed with a medical examination and procedures such as nerve conduction investigations and imaging. Treatment entails addressing underlying illnesses, providing medications, and investigating non-pharmacological options. Individuals suffering from chronic pain may benefit from individualized pain management plans.
