- Neuralgia is pain in one or more nerves. When equated to neuropathic pain can be defined as non-nociceptive pain, or in other words, pain that is not related to activation of pain receptor cells in any part of the body. Neuralgia is pain produced by a change in neurological structure or function. Unlike nociceptive pain, neuralgia exists with no continuous nociceptive input. Neuralgia falls into two categories: central neuralgia and peripheral neuralgia. This unusual pain is thought to be linked to four possible mechanisms: ion gate malfunctions; the nerve becomes mechanically sensitive and creates an ectopic signal; cross signals between large and small fibers; and malfunction due to damage in the central processor. Neuralgia was first recognized by Weir Mitchell, a surgeon in the American Civil War, who noticed hyperalgesia and chronic pain in patients who had nerve lesions in the extremities and also some cases where no lesion was observed. Mitchell termed the condition “causalgia” which has since become known as “Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type 1 and Type 2” (CRPS). CRPS Type 1 describes the condition when no clear nerve injury is present, and Type 2 describes a case when nerve damage is clear. Neuralgia is often difficult to diagnose, and most treatments show little or no effectiveness. Diagnosis typically involves locating the damaged nerve by identifying missing sensory or motor function. This may involve tests such as an EMG test or a nerve conduction test. Neuralgia is more difficult to treat than other types of pain because it does not respond well to normal pain medications. Special medications have become more specific to neuralgia and typically fall under the category of membrane stabilizing drugs or antidepressants such as Cymbalta. The antiepileptic medication(AED) Lyrica was developed specifically for neuralgia and other neuropathic pain as a successor to Neurontin (gabapentin). Under the general heading of neuralgia are trigeminal neuralgia (TN), atypical trigeminal neuralgia (ATN), and postherpetic neuralgia. Neuralgia is also involved in disorders such as sciatica and brachial plexopathy with neuropathia. Neuralgias that do not involve the trigeminal nerve are occipital neuralgia and glossopharyngeal neuralgia. In the case of trigeminal neuralgia the affected nerves are responsible for sensing touch, temperature sensation and pressure sensation in the facial area from the jaw to the forehead. The disorder generally causes short episodes of excruciating pain, usually for less than two minutes and usually only one side of the face. The pain can be described in a variety of ways such as "stabbing," "sharp," "like lightning," "burning," and even "itchy". In the atypical form of TN, the pain presents itself as severe constant aching along the nerve. The pain associated with TN is recognized as one of the most excruciating pains that can be experienced. Simple stimuli such as eating, talking, making facial expressions, washing the face, or any light touch or sensation can trigger an attack (even the sensation of a cool breeze). The attacks can occur in clusters, as an isolated attack, or be completely constant. Some patients will have a muscle spasm which led to the original term for TN of "tic douloureux" ("tic", meaning 'spasm', and "douloureux", meaning 'painful', in French). Neuralgia is a form of chronic pain and can be extremely difficult to diagnose. Postherpetic neuralgia is the easiest to diagnose because it follows an obvious cause (shingles). Neuralgia is a rare disease. Women are more likely to be affected than men, and those over 50 are at the greatest risk. In some cases, multiple sclerosis is related to nerve damage, causing the pain, so doctors will likely ask about family history to help diagnose. Nothing unusual can be seen in brain scans, so diagnosis is usually based on the description of the symptoms and the response to the medication or procedures.
- Neuralgie ist das medizinische Fachwort für Nervenschmerz (von griechisch neuron „Nerv“ und algos „Schmerz“). Es bezeichnet Schmerzen, die sich im Versorgungsgebiet eines (oder mehrerer) Nerven ausbreiten und durch diese verursacht werden. Im engeren Sinne werden damit neuralgiforme Schmerzen bezeichnet.
- Per nevralgia (dal greco neyron=nervo e algos=dolore) in campo medico, si intende un dolore non nocicettivo ovvero non determinato dall'attivazione dei recettori del dolore in un distretto corporeo, bensì da una patologia del nervo. Il dolore è pertanto riferito al territorio di innervazione del nervo affetto (la persona riferisce di sentire il dolore non lungo il percorso del nervo, ma nella sede in cui il nervo termina).
- 神経痛(しんけいつう Neuralgia)とは、人の体においてさまざまな原因により、末梢神経が刺激されることに起因する痛みのことである。
- Neuralgie of zenuwpijn wordt veroorzaakt door een zenuw die beschadigd is of anderszins geïrriteerd, en uit zich meestal zich als (heftige) pijnscheuten in een gedeelte van het gezicht, arm of been. Voorbeelden van zenuwpijn zijn fantoompijn, aangezichtspijn, pijn na gordelroos en in sommige gevallen bij diabetes mellitus. Hevige zenuwpijn die niet uit zichzelf weer weggaat kan onderdrukt worden met paracetamol/codeïne, lidocaïne op de huid (na gordelroos) Tricyclische antidepressiva als amitriptyline, clomipramine en nortriptyline. Anti-epileptica: carbamazepine en fenytoïne (aangezichtspijn; als gevolg van diabetes mellitus) Acetylsalicylzuur
- Neuralgia, inaczej nerwoból (neuralgia)- termin z zakresu medycyny, związany z uszkodzeniem nerwu obwodowego. Ma charakter ostry, rwący, promieniuje w obszarze unerwienia określonego nerwu lub jego gałęzi.
- Classificam-se em geral na categoria de dores nevrálgicas, vários sintomas dolorosos associados a lesões de nervos periféricos. As suas propriedades são essencialmente semelhantes às da dor do membro fantasma e da causalgia, e caracterizam-se por uma dor intensa e incessante, que é difícil de tratar pela cirurgia ou por outros métodos tradicionais.
- Невралгия (от греч. neuron жила, нерв + álgos боль) — поражение периферических нервов, характеризующееся приступами болей в зоне иннервации какого-либо нерва. В отличие от неврита, при невралгии нет двигательных расстройств и выпадения чувствительности, а в пораженном нерве отсутствуют структурные изменения. Невралгия развивается преимущественно в нервах, проходящих в узких каналах и отверстиях.
- Neuralgi, nervsmärta, neuropatisk smärta eller neurodyni är medicinska termer gällande smärta utgående från en skada i nervsystemet. Nervsmärta är vanligen en långvarig smärta, vilken kan vara svår att diagnosticera. Nervsmärta kan uppstå exempelvis efter ryggmärgsskada, vid MS, efter slaganfall, efter perifer nervskada som uppstått vid någon olycka eller operation, efter bältros, samt efter en amputation. Nervsmärta brukar vanligen indelas i perifer nervsmärta och central nervsmärta.
