Neuropathic Pain: New Insights, New Interventions - Part III
The conclusion of a three part series on Neuropathic Pain. This segment discusses the effect of neuropathic pain upon the circuits of the nervous system - and how they become altered. This alteration makes current pain management treatments ineffective. Thus it is necessary to research each type of pain individually and to find an effective treatment - based upon the rewired circuitry of the nervous system.
