Neuropathic pain is a common problem in humans and a major cause of depression in affected patients. This type of pain is unique in that it can come and go and vary in type and intensity. Neuropathic pain is likely extremely prevalent in our pet population as well, but under-recognized because they cannot communicate or express that they are in pain. Clinicians need to be looking for clues.
In this segment Dr. Rebecca Windsor explains neuropathic pain including potential causes, mechanisms that lead to persistent pain, and therapies that target these various mechanisms. Her discussion includes a variety of case-based examples to highlight medical management, indications for surgical intervention, and adjunctive therapies to consider for managing veterinary patients.
