Abstract

Neuropathic pain is a challenging condition. Despite the immense progress made in the pathophysiology and treatment of such conditions, so much work still has to be done. New frontiers previously unexplored are now objects of study with exciting results, mainly regarding neuromodulation and optogenetics. This review explores the already known pathophysiology and the clinical and surgical treatment in the light of evidence-based medicine. Additionally, new concepts and insights are discussed, presenting the hope for the development of new paradigms in the treatment of neuropathic pain.
