Neuropathic Pain

Neuropathic pain is a complex, chronic pain state that usually arises from damage to or dysfunction of the nerves. This type of pain is often described as a burning, shooting, or stabbing sensation and can occur without an obvious injury or cause. It may be accompanied by sensations of tingling, numbness, or heightened sensitivity to touch. Neuropathic pain can significantly affect daily activities, sleep, and emotional well-being, making effective management essential for improving quality of life.

What is Neuropathic Pain

Neuropathic pain is a complex and often debilitating type of pain resulting from nerve damage or dysfunction. It manifests as a range of sensations, including sharp, burning pain, and tingling or numbness. These symptoms can occur without an obvious cause and persist long after the initial injury has healed. Chronic neuropathic pain can significantly impair daily functioning, making it challenging to engage in regular activities, maintain relationships, and perform at work or school. Addressing persistent neuropathic pain is essential to improving patients’ quality of life, as unmanaged pain can lead to severe emotional and physical distress.

At Oasis Therapeutics, we offer advanced treatments for neuropathic pain, including TMS, Ketamine Infusions, and mPNS. TMS uses magnetic fields to stimulate brain areas involved in pain perception, while Ketamine Infusions provide rapid relief by altering pain pathways in the brain. mPNS uses electrical pulses to target peripheral nerves, reducing pain and improving mobility. These therapies offer effective solutions for managing the debilitating effects of neuropathic pain.

Symptoms of Neuropathic Pain may include:

  • Sharp, shooting pain
  • Burning or scalding sensations
  • Tingling or “pins and needles” feeling
  • Numbness or reduced ability to feel sensations
  • Electric shock-like pain
  • Increased sensitivity to touch (allodynia)
  • Pain from stimuli that usually don’t cause pain (hyperalgesia)
  • Spontaneous pain without any apparent trigger
  • Muscle weakness
  • Difficulty sleeping due to pain

The experienced physicians at Oasis Therapeutics specialize in ketamine infusion therapy, giving you a cutting-edge treatment option to effectively ease the symptoms that don’t go away, even after you try other medications.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses magnetic fields to stimulate brain nerve cells, treating depression and other neurological disorders. It’s non-invasive and targets specific brain areas to alleviate symptoms in patients resistant to conventional treatments.
Oasis Therapeutics advanced Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) treatment involves an injection of anesthetic medication over a specific branch of nerves in your neck called the stellate ganglion.
Magnetic peripheral nerve stimulation (MPNS) is a non-invasive technique used to alleviate chronic pain and improve motor function. It involves applying magnetic fields to peripheral nerves, stimulating them without the need for surgical intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Neuropathic Pain

Neuropathic pain is caused by damage or dysfunction in the nervous system. This can occur due to:

  • Injuries: Physical injury to nerves, spinal cord, or brain.
  • Diseases: Conditions such as diabetes (diabetic neuropathy), multiple sclerosis, shingles (postherpetic neuralgia), and cancer.
  • Infections: Viral infections like HIV or shingles that affect the nervous system.
  • Nerve Compression: Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or sciatica.
  • Chemotherapy: Certain cancer treatments can cause nerve damage.
  • Alcoholism: Long-term alcohol abuse can lead to nerve damage.

Neuropathic pain differs from other types of pain in several ways:

  • Cause: It results from nerve damage or dysfunction, while other types of pain, such as nociceptive pain, arise from tissue damage or inflammation.
  • Sensations: Neuropathic pain is often described as burning, shooting, electric shock-like, or tingling. It can also cause numbness or hypersensitivity to touch.
  • Chronic Nature: Neuropathic pain is often chronic and persistent, whereas nociceptive pain typically resolves as the underlying injury or inflammation heals.
  • Response to Treatment: Neuropathic pain may not respond well to standard pain relievers and may require specialized treatments.

Effective treatments for neuropathic pain include:

  • Advanced treatments at Oasis Therapeutics:
    • Ketamine Infusions: Rapid relief from neuropathic pain by modulating brain pathways and reducing central sensitization.
    • Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS): Non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in pain perception.
    • Magnetic Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (mPNS): Uses magnetic fields to stimulate peripheral nerves and modulate pain signals.
    •  

Neuropathic pain can be challenging to cure completely, but it can be managed effectively with appropriate treatments. The goal of treatment is to reduce pain, improve function, and enhance quality of life. Some individuals may experience significant relief, while others may have ongoing symptoms that require long-term management.

Side effects can vary depending on the treatment:

  • Ketamine Infusions: Potential side effects include dizziness, nausea, increased heart rate, and dissociation, which are typically short-lived.
  • TMS: Mild headache or scalp discomfort at the treatment site, which usually resolves quickly.
  • mPNS: Mild tingling or discomfort at the treatment site, which usually resolves quickly.

Yes, lifestyle changes can help manage the severity of neuropathic pain. These include:

  • Regular Exercise: Gentle exercises like walking, swimming, and yoga can improve strength, flexibility, and overall well-being.
  • Healthy Diet: Eating a balanced diet to support overall health and reduce inflammation.
  • Good Sleep Hygiene: Ensuring adequate and restful sleep to help the body recover and manage pain.
  • Stress Management: Practicing relaxation techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, or deep breathing exercises to reduce stress, which can exacerbate pain.
    • Avoiding Triggers: Identifying and avoiding activities or behaviors that worsen pain.

Resources available for individuals experiencing neuropathic pain include:
