Neuralgia, ChildAbstract
Neuropathic pain results from an injury or dysfunction of the somatosensory nervous system. Neuropathic pain exists in children but its incidence is often underestimated. Many of the conditions causing neuropathic pain in adults are rare in children but some forms affect children and adolescents as complex regional pain syndrome or phantom limb pain. The diagnosis of neuropathic pain is clinical and can be difficult, especially in young children or children with developmental disabilities. Treatment strategies that have demonstrated to be efficacious in adults have been extrapolated to be use in pediatric age.
