Neuropathic pain is caused by damage or disease of the somatosensory nervous system. It is estimated to affect around 9% of the general population. Neuropathic pain has a significant burden and can reduce quality of life more than death for some patients. Conditions associated with nerve damage, such as diabetes and HIV, are increasing globally. While first-line treatments for neuropathic pain like antidepressants and anticonvulsants can provide some relief, their effects are limited. More research and access to existing treatments is still needed to help manage this challenging problem.
