Detailed explanation-1: -Neuropathic pain is triggered by lesions to the somatosensory nervous system that alter its structure and function so that pain occurs spontaneously and responses to noxious and innocuous stimuli are pathologically amplified.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neuropathic pain reflects both peripheral and central sensitization mechanisms. Abnormal signals arise not only from injured axons but also from the intact nociceptors that share the innervation territory of the injured nerve.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neuropathic pain can happen if your nervous system is damaged or not working correctly. You can feel pain from any of the various levels of the nervous system-the peripheral nerves, the spinal cord and the brain. Together, the spinal cord and the brain are known as the central nervous system.
