Inleiding/Introduction

 

Neuropathic pain, one of the most difficult kinds of pain for people to tolerate, is a complex, chronic pain state that usually is accompanied by tissue injury. Nerve pain usually presents as a sharp shooting pain or a constant burning sensation. It will generally present in the same location with each episode and can often be traced by the patient along the nerve pathway. There may also be weakness or impaired function in the affected area and the skin may be either overly sensitive or numb, which is incredibly frustrating for the individual experiencing the pain.

  • General treatment in modern medicine
  • Acupuncture management
    • Acupuncture; often used with electrical stimulation in treating nerve conditions, is very effective at relieving the pain and restoring normal function.
    • There are several ways this is thought to work, all of which have been carefully esearched.
    • Acupuncture stimulates the brain to release chemicals (neurotransmitters and ovoids) into the body that reduce sensitivity to pain and normalize the nervous system.
    • Acupuncture activates nerve receptors that decrease or "gate-out" (like  gate being closed) pain signals.
    • Acupuncture with electrical stimulation interrupts the pain signal allowing the nerve to calm down thereby reducing pain.
    • Acupuncture increases the amount of endorphins in the body and focuses them on the affected areas. These natural chemicals reduce inflammation that can cause, or be a result of, nerve pain.
    • Acupuncture promotes actual healing by altering the body's electrical system to allow the transfer of material and electrical energy between normal and injured tissue thereby reducing the amount of recovery time
