Neuropathic pain: The two most frequently encountered symptoms in
patients with a neuropathic pain disorder are allodynia and hyperalgesia. Neuropathic pain is one of the most challenging and complex pain conditions to manage. Using symptoms alone to
determine treatment for neuropathic pain is not adequate and it is important to identify the responsible pathological processes.
