Neuropathic pain, is chronic pain in which the nerve fibers themselves have become damaged. Neuropathic pain results from damage or dysfunction of the peripheral or central nervous system.

Neuropathic pain tends to be sharp or aching. It also tends to be eased well by traditional painkillers such as paracetamol, anti-inflammatory painkillers, codeine and morphine.
