Document Summary
Minor sprain to the wrist leads to chronic pain. Bone has healed, yet is sill not funcioning because there"s nerve damage. Peripheral nerve and their damage causes the pain to this typical feather brush. Neuropathic pain can be simulus evokes or spontaneous. Neuropathic pain: not the result of issue damage but changes in nervous system. Neuropathic: more chronic pain, painful simulus with the pain that is experienced. Chronic pain can result of dysfuncional acivity at diferent levels of the pain pathway. Hyperalgesia: an increased response to a simulus which is normally painful. Acivity of c-ibres require you to meet some threshold before its acivated. More sensiive to painful simuli ater the injury has healed. The original threshold you needed to acivate the pain receptors, you require less intense painful simulus to acivate the ibres. Overall the threshold lowers for c-ibres, therefore a greater intensity. Before burn: determine threshold for pain at a,b and c.
